Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

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.

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

Quick! Someone name the 1st to the 7th plague!

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

i'm waiting for No-See-Ums - the Invisible Menace. Think of the money they could save on special effects.

If I only had a brain...

I know hemorrhoids were in there someplace.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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....

Art Crawl!!!

I noticed that Scifi appears to be doing a marathon of their insect related movies this weekend.

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.

Best. Evil penguin. Evah. (eta: Monty Python)

Scott Listen, I gotta fight the lion. That's what that guy Scott's all about. I know. I've studied him already.
Schlick But why couldn't you fight a penguin?
McRettin Great! (falls over)
Scott Fight a rotten penguin?
Schlick It needn't be a little penguin. It can be the biggest penguin you've ever seen. An electric penguin, twenty feet high, with long green tentacles that sting people, and you can stab it in the wings and the blood can go spurting psssssshhhh in slow motion.

...

Voice Over See Ensign Oates' frank adult death struggle with the spine-chilling giant electric penguin...
Oates looks up in horror, a shadow crosses him. Reverse shot of model penguin (quite small, about a foot) which lights up and looks electric. The penguin is close to the camera in the foreground and appears huge. Oates looks around desperately then starts to undress. Shot of penguin throwing tentacle. Half-nude Oates struggles with it. Intercut a lot of phoney reverses. Oates by now clad only in posing briefs sees a stone. He picks up the stone, then camera zooms into above-naval shot; he removes his briefs, puts the stone in the briefs, twirls it like a sling, and releases stone. The penguin is hit on beak, and falls over backwards.

There are also the penguins in Orcbusters, which have a voracious hunger for ruthless Machiavellian diplomacy. That's pretty evil.

I love that show.
