The conversation of the test kids during "The Christmas Invasion" was delightful.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, wow! Good for Who ! Although I found "Father's Day" a little disappointing. The other two noms I heartily agree with, though.

If I only had a brain...
I thought Father's Day was spectacular, and am busy explaining to my writing board why it's a case of excellent construction and execution.
It's really hard to write the classic "we altered time, now we must fix it" story without being obvious and pedestrian. Father's Day pulled it off, and then some. It's like doing an "aliens made us screw" story and making it GREAT.

Betsy, how does it compare to the FARSCAPE ep., the title of which escapes me, but where every time they tried to fix the past, they just kept making things worse.

smonster, thanks so much for the link. It'll come in handy. I love the comments/reactions during the episodes from the Fear Forecasters.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Should I ahem the Doctor Whos, or wait for them to be shown on SciFi?
I don't think I can wait. What's the likelihood of their being released on DVD (in the States)?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Zenkitty,
Supposedly, the box set comes out in the US in July.(Hmm, after the eps have all aired on Sci Fi. How conveeeeenient.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Didn't somebody upthread mention that there were DVDs (pricey ones) available through Amazon.Canada? Don't know if that region plays in the US though.
