Sci-Fi Friday is gone until January.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Re: Smallville-
The biggest eyerolling moment, of many, in the premier for me was the Kryptonians step out of the space craft and ten seconds later the entire county police force comes rolling up, sirens wailing, to take pot shots at them before getting blown up.
1) There was a meteor shower. Wasn't the whole setup of the series based on the fact that no one is going to notice an alien space craft landing when there are huge flaming rocks coming down with it?
2) There was a meteor shower. Weren't all these police officers busy dealing with the evacuation and rescue efforts. How many other people died because they were driving out to a field in the middle of nowhere to get blown up by aliens that they shouldn't have known were there in the first place?
There had to be an easier (and budget-saving so as to maybe pay for better CGI) and more sensical way of showing that they were EVIL Kryptonians.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
OMG! I just discovered my local WB channel is showing Farscape! I just stumbled across the first episode! Damn I wish I'd known it was on.

Wow. I just did a quick search to see if we were getting it, too. Turns out channel 9 (I have no idea what the station is, but it's not the WB. I don't think. Or maybe it is. I don't know.) is showing ep 1 of Farscape tomorrow at 9p and ep 2 next Sunday. I'm sensing a trend. That's kind of neat. I haven't rewatched since I Netflixed the first time. Maybe I'll do that.
Fun.

Thrive to spite them
My WB is showing it in the mornings. Zap2it says that WGN is showing two episodes at 4 and 5 (EST) everyday.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Zap2it says that WGN is showing two episodes at 4 and 5 (EST) everyday.
It looks like the 4 ep is S1 and the 5 ep is S2, though. It's confusing.
But, for those who have such an investment, I'm going to try out this damn show now. The premiere is taping tonight, and I get the second episode on Saturday. I figure this way I can slowly watch until I find the time/money/energy to grab DVDs and finish it off.

Just saw this link on my flist - BSG and Season 3 (not spoilery - just BSG picked up for S3): [link]
Huh. But now I see it's two weeks old, so maybe this is only news to me. And not terribly surprising.
