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.

Ugh. Why did Claudia Christian have to leave B5? Nothing against Scoggins personally, but... just, no.

Um. I hope she enjoyed a lovely birthday, though.

There was a whole thing/kerfuffle about CC not renewing her contract. Like, she said they didn't ask her, and they said she missed the deadline, and stuff. I never understood it.

But I thought it was a major waste, because Ivanova left right after Marcus died to save her and I think that they would have done something different if it hadn't happened.

Cryin' shame. I wonder what the plan had been for the character in the overall arc.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I have read/heard from JMS that Ivanova would have been the one to get involved with Byron had CC stayed.

Which...no. I'm kinda glad CC left, if that's what they had in mind for her. (Yes, the character had an incredibly tragic romantic history. We don't need her to get involved with a guy like Byron to prove the point)

Who, Me?

I'm guessing that Byron would have been written and cast quite differently if CC had stayed on.

I think the idea was that she would have hooked up with Byron due to guilt over Marcus. So Byron was supposed to be Marcus-like no matter what. I mostly think it's a shame she left because, if she'd stayed, Ivonava and Garibaldi would have become enemies. And I like that kind of stuff.

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.

Okay. The psychic lady cracked me up. A lot. And the bit with the monkey was extra creepy with a side of freaky. Other than that, the show is still enjoyable but it hasn't blown me away yet.

I loved the psychic. I missed the twist at the end -- was the burning spirit of their mother keeping the poltergeist away?

And their dad was in town the ENTIRE time?

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

She cancelled herself out with the poltergeist, so she's gone now, forever.

What house did the psychic go into? Just some random house in town?

I'm glad they brought him in -- so it doesn't turn into an aimless search that doesn't progress.

I thought it was the psychic's house - but I was on the phone at the time.
