If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

Buffy ,'Selfless'


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.

I was goign to say that Daniel was in Vala's place, but Debetesse is right--it's not a straight swap, more of an overlay. So presumably he wasn't conscious for most of it.

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

So Daniel was there all the time? I totally don't remember how it worked last time--what happens to the body at the machine?

The body at the machine goes unconscious when the consciousness is transferred. So presumably Vala's body was slumped over.

Does the host body's consciousness remain alert?

Supernatural question: The previously for episode 16 (this last week's) shows a blonde scrying with blood. Which episode was that? I thought I'd seen them all.

Given that Daniel sounded completely confused at the end of the episode, I'd say no. Otherwise, it's a bit too much like Goa'uld possession for comfort.

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

I think that was the one with the creepy ass scarecrow.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I just watched Raptor. I think that means enough really bad scifi for the week. Now on to horrorby reading Stephen king's The Cell.

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

I watched about five minutes of it. The scene where the truck driver gets killed by the raptor and we see the reflection of the killing in the chrome "sexy woman" mudflaps amused me.
