I watch the Pretender every day on TNT. (I tape the ones I'm not home for.) Anyway, in the opening credits there is a tower made out of what appears to be LEGO. It is also often visible during the show. Bryan Beckwith (24 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)

I didn't even notice it! And I watch Farscape all the time. I'll have to pay more attention. Maybe parts of Moya or Talon are Lego and I didn't even know it... Farscape continues..... Gary Istok (...) (24 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch)

So they were using a Slizer throwing arm as a prop? Pretty cool! As far as not posting it to mediawatch, even if you don't subscribe to it, others (including myself) do.

(...) This must be a UKism, as we don't use that phrase much. Beanie Babies are "stuffed animals" I think. Of course, stuffed doesn't carry quite the negative connotation in the US. ++Lar (24 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)
