Okay.

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'm pretty certain I'd scream more than Leela did. Didn't it take some alien beastie biting her in the head to finally make her cry out?
I don't think I've seen Leela in action. Though, from what I've heard/read, I'm sure I'd be in the same boat as you, screaming myself hoarse while she just rolls her eyes. At me. And at the monster.
Oh my.
Finally watched Doctor Who last night. The first one was all right, given that it was essentially a pilot. The second one I couldn't sit through. It felt like it was trying too hard, and I couldn't care less about Rose's angst, and after the first ad break I went into the office and just half-listened while I played a game on the computer.
But the one by Mark Gatiss is next, right? That will probably decide things one way or the other for me.
Oh, and what Matt said about Leela. She ruled.
The next one has Simon Callow!
Eps 2 and 3, I think, were the weakest of the season. Still, I liked them enough to keep coming back for more. "The End of the World", yeah, I didn't quite get why Rose would get all wigged about the Earth finishing its life cycle in its appointed time. But then maybe she hadn't quite grokked that bit of science before. Still, and even as big a fan as I am of kewl explosions, I'm not 100% sure I'd dig a date who took me off to see Earth Death.
ETA: Who am I kidding. If the Ninth Doctor showed up on and offered me a chance to be his Plus-One at that event, I'd be all for it.

I think it's one thing to know that your planet and species will die out someday, and quite another to see it. I think it would be a pretty upsetting experience.
Plus that "last human being" -- yuck.
We watched last night. Dr Who is a different show - I can't quite take it as seriously as other stuff I watch. But it was fun. I have more thoughts, but they don't seem super coherent. I think I need to see more shows.
