Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'


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.

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

Anyone who owns the Due South dvds can contradict me, because I speak only from secondhand. But everyone who's bought them complains that they're badly packaged, with no extras, and expensive, unless you buy them from our neighbors to the north.

I have no idea why Netflix doesn't carry them. I had to beg and plead for months to get them to carry Men With Brooms, but eventually, they did. Netflix also doesn't carry Ultraviolet dvds, which is just...silly.

I actually wound up buying the Ultraviolet set (DCP kindly loaned me his, and I liked them well enough to buy them), because they were a really fantastic price, if I bought them with another set, so I did. The other set? Um, Kindred: the Embraced. What? It was a really really good price.

Also? Julian Luna looks rather startlingly like Orlando Bloom's older, more, ehm, robust brother.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

But I need to know when the dream sequence episode with people in leather and whips...and Crais in heels, because I don't think I can sit there and watch it with Dad. Could I just skip it or is it needed for plot reasons?

_Won't Get Fooled Again_. Which was the first and only Farscape episode I saw back when it was in first run -- I was at a friend's house, said 'Oh! Farscape, I've heard some good things about that... what the fuck?' I'm afraid it did not inspire me to start watching. It's kind of new viewer unfriendly.

A few years later a friend made me watch the much more newbie-friendly _Kansas_ and _Terra Firma_ and I fell in love.

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)

Beverly, the Amazon reviews support you (not in email, though). All the more reason to beg Netflix to carry DS.

Deepdiscountdvd.com is your friend.

I'll second this rec. I've never had a problem with them, aside from them randomly not having things other places do. If they have it, they usually have the best price (I got all my Farscape through them).

If I only had a brain...

Thanks. Will use deepdiscount... in future.

Is "Won't be Fooled Again" an episode that can be skipped over, or is it something I should just sort of say "here dad watch this sometime."

It's a pretty funny episode, and the high heels on Crais are more random than anything else. However, S&M Rygel is a bit disturbing (although also funny IMO). It's worth it watching for Stud Pilot Race D'Argo and the Pilot/Scorpy jazz combo alone, but YFunnyMV.

I love "Won't Get Fooled Again", but then, I'm a sucker for a butch cop in fetching red pumps.

I've seen Won't Get Fooled Again and think it's a great episode -- really twisted but great. However I really don't want to watch S&M Rygel with my father. So if it doesn't add anything to the overall series I'd rather skip it.
