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.

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

This was a good solution in A League Of Their Own. The matching was excellent, particularly with the older Geena Davis.

Except the voice was clearly Geena's, and it kind of took me out of the movie. They didn't even let the other sister's older version speak.

Er, wasn't that makeup? I was pretty sure it was makeup.

Nope. Different actor.

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

Er, wasn't that makeup? I was pretty sure it was makeup.

Lynn Cartwright would be shocked (and also proud) to hear that, I think.

Someone buy the casting director a drink!

Furthermore (not that I'm holding a grudge) I hated the making-time-flow-backward-by-flying-backward meme when I saw Superman doing it. In the comics.

This episode just had so many asspulls: Stark's reappearance, the space mist, Chiana having trashed Aerin's prowler offscreen, the time travel, Aeryn's locket reappearing in the transport pod even though in this time stream it had never *been* in the transport pod, the crumbling picture...

Bleh. My suspension of disbelief snapped and I got whiplash.

Wonders if we should warn Betsy that asspulls and Stark go together like bread and butter. Thinks better of it.

I was afraid of that. Him and his magic lighty face.

But now I know who Harvey is, so yea!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The Locket makes me cry a lot. I forgive it the bad makeup and accents and time travel.

I envy you; I would love a big ol' shippy episode that worked that well for me. (Oh, okay, I have Look At The Princess part 3.)

I kind of like The Locket myself, gaping holes, asspulls and all.

Apart from production issues, my biggest issue is that as shown, John and Aeryn wasted twenty (fifty?) years together. I like to think that after fifty years with the guy she loves, even Aeryn Sun might admit as much to him. It isn't as if he wasn't just as wrinkly as she by the end.
