'The Message'


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.

Thrive to spite them

Everyone thought Grandfather was insane becuase of these visions he had or maybe he said he went to a certain place and there were giant aliens. There was a Crystal Skull involved. So Daniel hadn't talked to him in years.

Then SG1 goes through the gate to some caverny place with a Crystal Skull, which Daniel touches and he ends up invisible. No one can see him even though he tries to interact with them.

Somehow SG1 goes off to Grandfather -- who can see Daniel!! So Daniel tries to communicate with the team vis Grandfather, they don't buy it right away, but Daniel tells Grandfather stuff and SG believes him (yay!)

Then they go back through the gate to the planet and Daniel becomes revisible and the giant aliens recognize Grandfather so he stays.

Or maybe none of them coud go back unless he or Daniel stayed.

No, I think Grandpa wanted to stay.

Kind of weird that we never, ever saw or heard about those aliens again, isn't it?

To be fair about Daniel's parents, it was on the order of guiding a beam into place. You don't not stand under it because the chain, which is supposed to be mega strong and certified not to break, might have a weak link. Else we should never lower heavy things at all.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The one thing that bugged me about The Gamekeeper is what they chose for the traumatic event that Jack had to replay over and over again. I mean, if we're going to associate Jack with a hellaciously traumatic event that he'd love to put right, why not Charlie?

Ah yes, but that actually would have had a straightforward fix.

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

Oh, re: commercial for Season 1 BSG DVDs about to go on sale in the US. The commercial said this will be the British version? What's different (besides the different opening music)?

Thrive to spite them

I'm finally watching Sci Fi Friday. Right now I'm not too far into SG1, they've found the treasure and Daniel's read the story.

I like Jack, I really do, but I was thrilled when Daniel said "You know what this means" and Mitchell told him what it meant! Jack's playing dumb in those situations was really starting to get to me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I loved the asides, "I read the file."

"In the file."

"Didn't read that part."
