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.

Okay, I think that having an Aquaman spin-off is funny.

Also, I finished watching Doctor Who last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I must say that I was strongly reminded of both "Primeval" and "Hero" by certain elements of the final episode and feel pretty sure that I know some of the writers' viewing habits. I did think that the bad wolf element kind of came in very last minute and felt kind of incomplete but perhaps I need to re-watch and decide whether it feels less added on when watching with full knowledge.

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

The explanation might have felt last minute, but the seeds were sown in every episode, IIRC.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Wouldn't an Aquaman splash-off be more thematically correct?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Yeah, ita's right about that element: by the start of the PotW (actually, the one before, I just can't remember), I had it figured out that they were somehow doing that themselves.

All is well that ends in pizza.

What ita said. It showed up in "Rose" and started getting more air time as it went along.

Windsparrow and i recently rewatched the whole season and found lots of continuity.

As to the other comments, the writers have openly stated that they got a lot of inspiration from watching BVS.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

sumi, check out this site. It's not comprehensive (and it doesn't seem to have been updated since the finale, which is a shame (and kind of inexcusable, really, come on!)), but it's pretty cool.

Oh, assuming that my dvds work in other dvd players -- I'll be rewatching this weekend.

If you guys think that I didn't like the series -- you could not be more wrong.

Honestly, sumi, although I loved having those hints show up in every episode, I found the resolution a bit unconvincing myself.
