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.

Jen, I saw her in the trailer I saw last night, so she's definitely in this ep.

Oh, OK, good. Well, then maybe I'll get my wish. That'd be nice.

If I only had a brain...

Thanks to the gracious and talented ita, I finally saw Prometheus Unbound.

Vala was a LOT more dangerous in that episode. Nowadays she's mostly comic relief; her Sekrit Power is annoying people to death. Okay, she gets points for shooting an Orii last week, but in general I'm not seeing the woman who could overpower *everybody on the Prometheus*.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I do see both the chemistry there, and the problem with it, philosophically. However, yeah, he really does seem less alien than Tayla does (and terribly American, IMO), so it bothers me less (less, actually, than putting her with John, but that's a whole different issue for me).

Oh, yes. As I said elsewhere recently, she even managed to escape from the brig and take out an entire security team without any weapons. Which leads me to believe she might have been able to escape from Daniel any time she wanted...

Well, she did cut him out of the pack as being the most attractive. It gets lonely out in space, just you and your zat.

t glares at Betsy

if that joke ends up in the sekrit project, I'm totally disclaiming it as your idea entirely.

You have a dirty dirty mind, Missy.

"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 bet there is a correlation between fictional peoples who may be considered exotic and fictional peoples almost totally ignorant of the concept of irony.

Actually, Teyla has shown some sense of irony when she was busting Sheppard's chops about his "diplomatic" picnic with Chaya. For one brief, shining second she had a sense of humor, showed some snarkiness, and popped into full dimensionality from the earnest, contraction-disavowing warrior princess character stereotype.
