'Serenity'


Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"  

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.

This is pretty well cliche-ridden, huh?

Funny, I got that from the title. Mansquito doesn't inspire anticipaton of good writing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So all that's happening is that the Mansquito is running around killing people (in the same boring way each time) and nobody knows what's going on....

I hope something interesting happens soon....

So he's not even upset that his girlfriend tried to bite him and suck his blood?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

What did I miss?

So, Jonas, I mean, Corin Nemec, is a world-weary cop (because he has a voice-over, like he wanna be some later day Phillip Marlowe and falling short), who helped put away a serial killer, who's being transferred to somewhere on a fateful night in the worst-guarded police vehicle in the history of movies, with three yahoos who look like they flunked the US Marshall school as escorts. There is foreboding, bad cinematography and worse mood music.

On the other side of the town, Ms. French plays a brilliant scientist with a killer cleavage, who's researching for a cure for the new mosquito-borne deadly viral disease. It strikes me rather ironic that she's playing a good guy in yet another Mutant Bug Goes Wild story. Maybe her protuberant eyes attract this sort of scripts. Anyway, she's working with a bunch of mosquitos in a blue-goo-filled containers that are being irradiated by some powerful radioactive thingamabob that causes DNA MUTATION OMG! Of course, she has a sweet-faced assistant and a jackass of a boss who just wants to go forth and announce the "cure" so that he can get fame and big dollars. Unbenownst to Ms. French, the Jackass Boss has brokered a deal with the dastardy murderer so that he could experiment on him in return for a reduced sentence. He's not dead yet, but obviously, he'll meet a gory end before the first hour is over.

Anyway. The police transport arrives in the facility, and the killer (whose name is Ray) gets himself off the handcuff and shoots a bunch of guards (because they are morons) and escapes into the lab, holding the sweet-faced assistant for a hostage before killing her, then just having a grand old time shooting up the lab in front of the Radioactive containers causing all kind of explosions, and allowing the radioactive-mosquito marinated goo to spill all over himself because... did I mention about how this movie is populated by the contestants for the Darwin Award? Anyway. He escapes through a ... hole in the floor then starts sprouting... like, an insectile claw, and it's gross and really bad CGI. Also, Ms. French got some blue goo on her arm, which I suspect will come back to bite her on her fetching ass later. Woe. Ms. French and Corin are dating, BTW.

Mosquito-Ray then goes seeking her girlfriend to borrow her car, then starts full-on morphing into the Mansquito slowly in front of her, and it takes him, like a full 2 minutes to finish the transformation, and the girlfriend just stands in front of him, yelling and screaming "Don't! Don't!" instead of running, like, OMG, the stupid, it burns! Then she falls screaming into her couch, all ready and positioned so that Mansquito can stick his probecis into her chest and slurp up her blood nice-and-easy. I have to say, it's well deserved.

And I think that's about half-hour mark.

Now, I have to FF through the next half hour.

Heh. That could be a thread title.

Thanks. That must have hurt to relive that.
