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.

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

So you could always tell when the Vets had hit an area, as all the men would have funnel-heads.

"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

That reminds me of something I always wondered about Species. Since Natasha Henstrige's character was black widowing all the guys she was with regardless, why was she so dependent on being fertilized in the normal human way? Millions of sperm cells would have been alive and viable in her victims' bodies for hours after she gave them the H.R. Giger French kiss.

The only thing I ever wondered about SPECIES was why the creators didn't the do the most obvious and interesting thing and make the NH character the most (or even a) sympathetic character. I concluded that would have required actually using some creative energy instead of just stringing cliches together, and they couldn't be bothered.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Depends on your definition of "snog"--there was a male/male kiss in Doctor Who a few months beforehand.

There must be tongue for a snog, IMNSHO.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There was tongue on Atlantis?

Thrive to spite them

Quick BSG question. In 33 mins, after the pilots are briefed and they are leaving the room there's a picture on the wall they all touch -- what's the significance of it ?

It's supposed to be sorta' like photos of the fallen on 9/11. It's someone who died in the Cylon attack.

Strega said something like, "As always, I worry about the photographer in photos like this."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I thought it was Helo, but I didn't pause and look closely.

tommy -- that's kinda what I thought, but I wanted to make sure I wasn''t missing out on something.

Yeah, it's explained in one of the podcasts that it's supposed to sort of be an iconic image for them.

It's so weird to see myself being quoted here. I mean, it's fine, it's just a little surreal.
