Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

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

Is it just me? or is this monstrosity (among other things) edited horribly? Just one example: We cut to a new scene where the guy is running up a hill. About a second into the scene he trips and falls. Then it turns out he tripped over the dead body of a friend. Now, I'm no editor, but it seems to me that you'd want to spend at least a few seconds establishing the particular scene so we can tell what the fuck is going on, before we get to the tripping and the dead friend thing.

See above where I mentioned C. Thomas Howell. You know how you can always tell by Cate Blanchett's presence that you're going to get a thought-provoking production? C. Thomas Howell is like that, only substitute "crappy" for "thought provoking."

Our wings are not tired.

Buck up soldier. Even the kids left the room. I think I'll look through the DVD stack...

For some reason I'm suddenly getting a shitload of interference on my WiFi network. So I can either abandon the internet, find a long network cable, or abandon the movie and move my laptop into my bedroom. I've chosen the last option.

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

I think I've watched all the Twilight Zones from the first series. It's a weird feeling to be deleting all the episodes from my season pass.

With its timing, Weir's comment about John's beard is a tidy double entendre.

Bwah, ita.

I was unimpressed by Epiphany, really. And the beard was really distracting.

I think Joe Flanigan should probably stick to acting and writing nonfiction.

Though if the Stargate producers are looking to have their actors contribute scripts, both Christopher Judge and Ben Browder do good enough work to warrant staff positions.

I thought Epiphany was harmless--didn't bring on the hate like some of the early S1 episodes did.

But I found the reaction shots very distracting. Could have saved ten minutes by excising them.

I thought the bits outside of the Ricola commercialvillage/fields were engaging enough, but the pastoral stuff would have lost me if it didn't center on an actor that I could happily watch in still picture form for 30 minutes.
