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.

"There you go again." Imagine it in the Gipper's inimitable tone.

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

Loved Baltar's total cluelessness when it comes to political opportunity!

I loved "Oh, give up!...Give up...on finding Earth?" This episode was funnier than most have been in a long while. "Maybe because I'm a Cylon and I've never seen you at any of the meetings."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Buh. I totally thought there was another act left.

THEY ALWAYS FRACKING DO THAT.

So, yeah. The debate part bugged a few times.

Eh, it was at least as smart as any real presidential debate I've ever seen.

Eh, it was at least as smart as any real presidential debate I've ever seen.

Oh, yeah, I wondered if the polarity was kind of the point. Not unrealistic, it just irked that it wasn't at least brought up as an option.

Like, it'd be funny if Zarek became the voice of moderation and reason. And not an impossible place for them to go.

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

Yesterday I bought a new video iPod, so just for the frak of it I downloaded "Downloaded" from the iTunes music store and watched it on my iPod. I was surprised at how good a picture I got on the iPod. There were more noticeable artifacts of the digital compression than there are on my digital cable, but besides that the picture looked great. I'm curious how well it'd look on a monitor or TV screen, as the iTunes TV video downloads are at a lower resolution than standard TV.

Now I wish I had a longer commute so I could watch TV programs on the train....

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Who played the cop that was involved with one of the sisters in the very early days of the show?

that was Ted King. he's on General Hospital these days and still looking fine.

the music on BSG was weird and very un-BSG-like. the rest? eh. they're not doing a very good job of making these episodes cohesive. it feels like there should be episodes in between explaining how we got here.

I would have liked it if Baltar (or Roslin, but for plot purposes Baltar would have worked better) had voiced the option of splitting the fleet. Put a colony on the new planet, and continue looking for Earth. That would have made more sense than the all-or-nothing option, and you could see the appeal of the idea while also recognizing that it was a Bad Idea.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Was I imagining things, or did Atlantis have Sheppard get defensively evasive about Weir's question concerning whether or not a diplomat was attractive, hot on the heels of being inexplicably upset by McKay flirting with the obligatory fashion model/scientist?

Was I imagining things

I can't remember specifically, but considering the source text, I'm gonna have to go with 'no'.

I've been working my way through my Due South season one dvds with my flatmate. Last night we watched a couple, and who should we spot but Mark Ruffalo! Followed closely by Ryan Phillipe! Whoever did casting on that show sure knew what they were doing. Also, Fraser is even hotter than I remember. I don't think my twelve year old hormones appreciated him as much as they could have.
