What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

'Just Rewards (2)'


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.

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

The Reykjavik phone book pretty much organizes itself by first name for that reason.

Not to get all spoily, but the social structure of native PKs is such that one Sun is probably related to another. And, there are lots and lots and lots of them. And, a serious shortage of names.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't understand -- when you say matronymic is a problem, do you mean they're more screwed than a patronymic society? I don't get how that's a big deal.

I can't follow you into the spoily zone, but the same is true of Cohens. There are a hell of a lot of them, but they're still closely genetically related.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I haven't met Harvey, or Jool.

You win some, you lose some.

I taped an episode once, a couple of years back. Jool was what put me off making any more serious effort to catch the show.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

FWIW, Jool did get a little better.

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

I don't remember what my key point was. Except that Too Many Suns, in a group that identifies members solely by last name, was a crappy idea. If you're doing a forced breeding experiment anyway, why not give the kids unique number last names or something?

Way to make HR's job harder than it already is!

To start with, the PKs were evil.

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

Woof. Their annual reviews had to be hilarious, in that ritual suicide involving intestines way.

But, like, there is evil and then there is instutitionalized cruelty to your own employees. I much prefer my evil to be a united front, you know?

Yes, my wish is to be a shareholder-employee of evil.

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

The SciFi channel is reshowing Mansquito tonight, in case you missed the magic and the love....
