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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
This episode would have been a lot more interesting if the previews hadn't pretty much said "Clark gets infected with silver kryptonite and goes crazy." I mean, the teaser is pretty much worthless if you know that.
As for a real Superman story, I don't know, but silver kryptonite doesn't exist in canon. (Nor does black for that matter. And red generally causes weird mutations instead of making Superman evil.)
Yeah, I thought Chloe's "I'd die first" line sounded rather foreshadowy considering we were told someone is going to die to pay for Clark's resurrection. Couple that with Chloe never existing in DC canon, and it makes her the easiest target. Which would suck, as she's most of the reason I still watch at this point.
Also, what's up with Braniac being super-smart, a mix of X-Files black oil and the T1000, and having all of Clark's powers? He's like a villain designed by a 12-year old Dungeon Master out to kill all of his player's characters. I mean, he's still interesting so far, but the powers are getting to be overkill.
What are folks doing Saturday night?
Once again, the SciFi Channel is bringing us more original programming goodness:
Locusts: The 8th Plague
Genetic engineering was meant to change nature's scourge into the perfect insecticide. Now their hunger has no limit, and human flesh has just become their new favorite food.
Obviously the genetic engineers haven't ever watched the SciFi Channel on Saturday night, or they'd know what horrors genetic engineering has brought upon us in the past.
I think they need to do a big Destroy All Monsters crossover movie that reveals this deadly locust swarm and the sabertooth tiger and Frankenfish and Mansquito are all in the same fictional world.
Quick! Someone name the 1st to the 7th plague!
i'm waiting for No-See-Ums - the Invisible Menace. Think of the money they could save on special effects.
I know hemorrhoids were in there someplace.
I want evil penguins! Some sort of genetic experiment gone awry, resulting in evil, man-eating penguins... that can fly! And only one man, an Australian actuary and amateur penguin expert, can save us.
There will be this cool scene where the actuary goes to save a small child, and suddenly finds himself surrounded by penguin eggs and the angry penguin queen....
I noticed that Scifi appears to be doing a marathon of their insect related movies this weekend.
I want evil penguins!
OK, I want my brain back. I was thinking of *exactly* the same thing. Well, I only recently watched "Wrong Trousers" so I have to admit the hitherto uncomtemplated nefarious nature of the penguins was prominent in my mind. (Those beady eyes! The mincing gait! The mob behavior!)
In "How I Met My Mother" (the new sitcom with Alyson Hannigan) early this week, there was a mutant Cockroach/mouse hybride that could fly. I immediately thought of this thread.
Hmmm, does the cockamouse make HIMYM genre?
