When Vancouver Shows Collide! (Not Really. But Sort Of.)

[annundriel]

Stargate SG-1 has completely ruined me for shows/movies/anything with aliens on Earth. Saw a commercial for a new show on CBS (?) called Threshold and my first reaction? "Where the hell is SG-1? How'd they let this happen? Quick, someone call them in!"

Could be an interesting show. I'll probably forget about it by the time it starts airing though.

Meanwhile, I want to try and catch Bones on Fox. Mostly because of David Boreanaz. Not that I'm a big DB fan, or anything. But he's goofy and fun to watch.

I've also pretty much decided to ignore Smallville this year. It's just not worth it anymore. I can't even bring myself to catch up on season four. Even James Marsters can't make me watch it. (Although my roommate might be able to persuade me to. At least to laugh at it. I'm always up for some good evenings of point-and-laugh.) If they get some recognizable Vancouver actors, however, there's a good chance I'll tune in. When the SV finale aired, the biggest squee-moment for me was when I spotted Craig Veroni as one of Lex's bodyguards. (Grodin, yea!)

Anyway. Now I'm watching SV's "Zero" because omg! Corin Nemec is in it. Jonas! Baaaaaad Jonas. Bad, cheating, torturing, slimeball Jonas. Hee! It's just *whacky* now that I know who he is. And now that I do know, this ep is so much more fun for it.

I think maybe Natasha will appreciate the ramblings below. Maybe. :)

Smallville's "Zero"
- Y'know, Corin Nemec's got a pretty nice profile.

- How did the bouncer *not* recognize Lex? I mean, c'mon. You live in Metropolis, you're gonna recognize Lex Luthor, right?

- ::hums "Hey Jude":: "...take a bad show and make it better..."

- SLUT! Jonas Jude is a *slut*. Slutty McSlutterson.

- Slash-vision! Wonder if there was ever anything between Jonas Jude and Lex? Pretty men-folk.

- Oh, he got punches in. And his little knife. ::cough:: No innuendo there. ::hides:: Oh, and now he's shot. Whoops. Bye, Jonas Jude.

- Did CN do this the same time he was doing SG-1? SV season one was 2001 -2002 with "Zero" filmed in '02, SG-1 season six was 2002 - 2003. Huh. So, he would have done SV right before season six? Oh, well, IMDb says that "Meridan" was filmed in May 2002 and "Zero" was March 2002. I guess that answers that.

- OK, so everyone on the dance floor has stopped dancing to watch the fight and make a circle around Jude's body, but all of the people up on the walkway are still dancing away. Unfeeling bastards.

- Somebody sAAAAAAAAAAAAve meeeeeeee.

- Oh, Chloe. Oh, Pete. Run, run while you still can!

- "I do *stuff*." lol. Clark, you cause problems and then you fix them. And then you go to Lex's and have wild monkey sex play pool. That's not a lot of "stuff."

- Ew, Lana. Mememe.

- I like CN's hands. And his eyes. And profile. And dimples. Also, I miss Jonas just a little bit. Jonas was a much better alien than Clark. He may not have had super powers (although they did hint that he was "special" in some way), but he was smart and he contributed and did things. And embraced things. Clark could learn from Jonas. Or something. Crossover!

- Even though SV pretty much sucks, I do like the way it's filmed, the flow and movement of the camera. Also, the colors are nice.

- Lana was "just a little weirded out" by Jude. I think it's the smile. People at the SGC were weirded out by Jonas, and he smiled *a lot*.

- Jude works fast. Lex wasn't in the Talon for very long.

- Purple CD player!

- Cows. Moooo.

- Let's put Chloe and Jonas in a room together. He'd be perfectly happy answering her questions and she'd be perfectly happy telling him all of the stuff she knows. Chloe needs to get the frell out of Smallville. Like, yesterday.

- Ew, Clark/Lana. And then Lex shows up to save the day!

- OMG! The Talon! With it's faux-Egyptian-whateverthehell! It's how a Goa'uld would decorate! Lana is a Goa'uld! It all makes sense now. All of it. Everyone loves Lana because she's a goa'uld and using mind control and technology and stuff. Evil.

- I have never understood why Clark doesn't use his x-ray vision to look into the box with the hand in it. It could be anything, but, no, let's just let Lex open it without checking it out first.

- Lana. Seriously. What the hell? The box wasn't addressed to you. You probably didn't even see the hand inside. What's with the Lex bashing and the 'mememe' act?

- Clark hates peas. I may disagree with Clark on some issues, but that's not one of them. Peas are gross. Unless they're cold. Or in fried rice. Or still in the pod.

- "In a world of designer water, Clark Kent is straight from the tap." Ha. Who talks like that? Besides Pete.

- Oh, they just used a publicity photo of CN on the paper. Lazy art department.

- Poor Chloe. Seriously, get out of Smallville.

- Boxing! Jonas boxed, too! I bet Teal'c could take Lex. Bald boxing. Heh.

- "...enemies becoming friends when bitterness ends..." Interesting lyrics to the song playing at Club Zero.

- OK, *wow*. That's, um, that's very slashy. Lex all sweaty from boxing. Jude with a gun, feeling him up (sort of). The face/chin fondling/touching while Jude's got his leather gloves on...Why didn't I notice this before?

- The dimples either make Jude more or less scary. I'm not sure which. On the one hand, it's less scary because, aw, dimples. On the other hand, it's more scary because he doesn't look all that scary. Or something.

- Jude really is fast. He booked it out of the gym.

- "Some secrets are better left alone." Oh, Lex, if only you would take your own advice.

- Goat!

- Even Luthor Corp's toxic waste is purple.

- Jonathon's kind of a jerk sometimes.

- Poor, poor Lex.

- That's *very* handy that Chloe happened to take a really nice, up-close photo of Jude.

- Aw, Jude is dead. Again. Shot. Again. Poor Jude. Strangely, now I don't really care what happens the rest of the ep. ::shrug::

- There's always a brother in prison somewhere, isn't there?

- He was a short-order cook flipping burgers! Jonas ran away from the SGC and/or Kelowna to become a fry cook! (Kind of like the elf on that Rudolph movie who wanted to be a dentist.)

- Yea, Clark! Yea, slash!

- So, this whole "my father wouldn't have protected Amanda, but he'd protect his only son" is a lot like the whole "my fater would have sent my mom to the slaughter, but he'd protect his only heir." Oh, Lex.

- "The truth is I'd do anything to protect my friends." Long stare. Slashy! I forgot how full of slash this show is.

- Chloe, run away. Run far, FAR away while you still can.

- Jude = evil!Jonas. Jonas gone bad. Jonas if he got really fed up with the SGC and the shadow of Daniel the Shiny and decided "Fuck Earth and Kelowna, I'm gonna go get me some hot Earth chicks." Because, of course, Earth girls are easy. Just ask Jeff Goldblum.

But Jonas would never do that.

I forgot how much fun season one was to watch. Maybe tomorrow I'll watch "Kinetic" with Major Lorne. Or maybe Thought Crimes will come.

The fifth disc in both sets of SG-1 season seven that we've purchased does not work. At least, we can't get all of "Heroes Pt. 2" or the special features. Grr. Argh.

Gosh, I'm boring.

Once again, I've had way too much sugar (Gobstoppers tonight). I blame all rambling on them.

Also, I cannot get this song out of my head. At least it's a good song and not, y'know, "McArthur Park" or "Copacabana" or "Achy Breaky Heart."
