We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

If you get XF, I'd only go up to Season 5. Seasons 6-9 were almost invariably a total waste of time, IMO. You could tack on the finale just for completion's sake but the rest of it is filler.

I haven't seen all of SG-1 myself, and I know I'm missing some critical mytharc and character eps. At some point I do want to see them just so I understand the fic better.

B5 is great and pretty much self-contained (except for Crusade and the tv movies, but they're not required viewing to "get" the show) - but SG-1 is more relevant to TV that's actually on now, so I don't know.

When you say things like this you make the baby jebuslug cry.

Part of me died when XF turned to shit. I'd hate to see that inflicted on someone else, particularly Fay - she's good people.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Seasons 6-9 were almost invariably a total waste of time, IMO.

I agree, although there were scattered gems in S6. Notably, the one with Bryan Cranston in the fast car -- memfaulting the title -- where he keeps asking to go "just a little bit faster."

One of the old great games was dream-cutting stinkers out of the "real" seasons (1-5), to be replaced with the gems from the "fake" later seasons. I think we can all agree that Space (s1) didn't have a lot going for it.

Weren't Tim's episodes season 6 or beyond. I'm thinking specifically of the Lily Taylor episode which I remember as being a late gem.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Probably the latest episodes I liked were "Surekill" and that one with the guy made out of metal. I didn't even watch the last season except for the last four episodes.

Also, Vonnie is the greatest for uploading "Passacaglia" (the music from the KLG1 teaser) from the BSG soundtrack. Mmm, so pretty.

The Lili Taylor episode was in S5, IIRC, and I can't think of the title either. I agree, it was a gem. Although, kind of fucked up, when you think about it.

The title is "Mind's Eye."

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

When did Krycek kiss Mulder and how did I not know of such an important event?

Mind's Eye is my favorite X-Files episode. I liked it before I knew of this Minear guy.

Our wings are not tired

I picked up the BSG Season 1 UK DVD's at Best Buy today. Anyone know what the difference is between that release and the US one?
