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.

Huh. Now I'm wondering if my Dad would be more or less offended by muppet sex than space whore sex.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I don't think my dad would be to offended by any of it - as long as it didn't invovle any of his family. However, I am guessing Farscape wasn't his show. But mom liked it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My Dad didn't like Farscape because of Moya.

He couldn't stop rolling his eyes at the idea of a living ship for long enough to actually get interested.

If I only had a brain...

Queen of Thorns does a mighty fine roundup of pretty SFNal men.

Well, that's... specific.

I liked Moya, and I wish they'd done more with her as a character.

My father's sci-fi tastes are generally pretty old school. And he compares everything recent to B5.

Also, he had a major attack of kids on the lawn with the new Doctor Who.

It makes me doubt his taste, but it's kind of cute.

I'm guessing the "Captain Jack and the Doctor just made out!" angle wouldn't be nearly the drawing card for him that it is for most of the Dr. Who fandom I'm in contact with.

Nah. Sadly, he's more into plot than character, so the Doctor and anyone making out fails to be up his alley.

Okay, I give up. I need to ahem a ninth-season Doctor. Which software does one use to ahem nowadays?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Oooh. Welcome to the world of BitTorrent, in which you can waste countless hours of your time watching all kinds of TV you weren't planning to watch and also yelling at your computer to download faster, damnit.

I use Azureus and have been very happy with it overall. I did hear some noise about the recent updates messing with the functionality of the software, the details of which I'm unfamiliar with since I always say "no" to the update prompts.

The actual torrents can then be obtained from mininova, TorrentSpy or Isohunt.

ETA: hmmm, if it's only the new Doctor Who you want, Consuela snurched all the episodes from my hard drive from when I was visiting her earlier this year. She'll probably be happy to make you copies. (I've still got them on my hard drive, so if she doesn't have them any more, I can put'em on a DVD-R and send them along to you as well.) Unless you wanted to venture into torrenting for other stuff as well, in which case, never mind.
