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.

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

Where did he refer to Out of Mind?

I loved what a dork Sam was, that she was the one first to talk to herself, and to leverage herself. I loved the beats where Jack would have told her to shut up, and Daniel knew, and she didn't, and no one else was quite sure how to deal with her technoyammer. I loved the little crafty look on Black Sam's face as she fiddled with stuff on the Prometheus.

I'm very scarred by Cam's undies.

Aw, man, there was some good stuff in the cut scenes. I wish they put deleted scenes on the DVDs.

I cracked up every time Black Teal'c manhandled Green Mitchell. Just imagining the inner dialogue each Teal'c and Mitchell had about it.

There were so many good bits; I need to rewatch.

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.

From a bit back, re: Smallville:

So, to follow canon - Jonathan should die, right?

In the original canon, yes. Under current canon, both of the Kents are still alive. Of course, as noted, Smallville plays notoriously fast and loose with DC canon. So anyone is pretty much fair game.

ETA: But if we lose Chloe next week, I may stop watching.

Stephanie -- I saw you already have a tape supplier, but Friday's Galactica re-airs Monday at 11 PM if that helps.

There've been a couple of other episodes I was underwhelmed by ("Final Cut") and... this may say too much about me, but I find it a tiny bit comforting, as well as disappointing. If I started thinking every episode was great, I'd worry that my crankiness was broken. My working theory is that when they wind up a multi-part story of coolitude, the next episode will be subpar.

I can't imagine that if the VP were running around looking that nuts, that something wouldn't come of it. It's caricaturish and uninvolving

Yeah, that was almost watch-from-the-hall for me. But re: people noticing, I think that in similar encounters in the past he's only been chatting with Six while walking past people in the halls. And he has gotten a few looks, but his behavior this time seemed much more likely to get attention.

Oh, yeah: so, in light of this episode, Roslin comparing Billy to President Adar now seems kinda suggestive.

[thinks, "Secret lair? I gotta get me one of those..."]
Check the real estate pages for for inactive volcanoes. I find that they're much cheaper to maintain than the underwater labs.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I haven't watched the deleted SG-1 scenes yet. I an, however, dissapointed that no one mentioned the long-term effects of all the teams staying ("temporal entropic cascade failure on the cellular level," to be exact.)

eta: Yay! it was thought of!

Yeah, it was mentioned by Sam in an aired scene.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

I thought that BSG was pretty good. Not as good as the last two weeks but it can't be consistantly awesome. I loved Baltar healing Roslin to get out of being president and then giving Gina a nuke out of hurt feelings and spite. It's so Baltar.

Compassionately intolerant

I've had BSG Season one on my Netflix list for...okay...since the day it came out...with no love. Today a total stranger lent me his set. Suweet!

I'll never be caught up. But at least I'll be less behind than having only seen the mini. Again I say...suWEet.

I have mine lent out to a classmate. He's had them since September. I miss them so much.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I figured something out about SG-1. When Daniel and Teal'c went to see Janet, she asked where Jack was, as if General O'Neill were supposed to be there.

That means in that AU, Jack never left the SGC. However, that's the same AU where Sam is on maternity leave--and Janet implies that that's why Sam's not on SG-1 right now.

So if Jack is in charge of the SGC and Sam is, presumably, sleeping with someone, it can't be Jack. He's not going to be sleeping with anyone under his command, even if she's a civilian. Even Jack's not that crazy.

So, somewhere out there is a happily pregnant Sam, who I suspect is either with Pete or Barrett. Or maybe Narim...
