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.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Module, yes.

If I only had a brain...

MMkay. Why couldn't Daniel just use a ZPM to catch up with Atlantis, instead of being stranded on Earth when the Pegasus left?

Yeah it's a device created by highly advanced aliens thousands of years ago that creates its own little pocket universe and then pulls vacuum self-energy out of it in mass quantities.

They don't have spares.

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

It seems to me that ZPMs are actually just DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD batteries.

Kind of an anticlimax, you know? Are they antimatter batteries, at least? Any danger of annihilation?

Nope, they make energy out of nuthin' at all as required until they wear out. No antimatter involved. (Though the less powerful naquadah generators are the next best thing. Quite explodey if overloaded.)

Man, I'd purely admire to see THAT vibrator.

t totally not thinking of a story where McKay and Zelenka toss around the possibility of a ZPM-powered sex toy

There's only one ZPM, and they have it on Atlantis. So you can get back to Earth from Atlantis lickety-split (at least I assume so; I don't think we've seen actual evidence of that) but going the other way takes a while and requires the... ship which is not the Prometheus. Crap! You know, the ship. With Caldwell. I swear to God my brain has turned off this month.
