Wow, Amazon is cheaper than DeepDiscountDVD.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Damn, that's pricey for thirteen episodes, but it looks like there are gobs and gobs of extras.
Frankenbuddha, are you thinking of "Back and Back and Back to the Future" ?
Betsy, I thought it was good and appropriately emotional, but I guess I was expecting more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Someone wrote up (paraphrased) what Moore said in his keynote at GDC (don't know what that is): [link]

"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
They lost the Star Wars/Star Trek 'populated universe' idea. He was tired of having lots of alien races. Philosophically, he wanted a drama more than s/f. No aliens, no time travel, no evil twins.
Well, two out of three ain't bad.

If I only had a brain...
FrankenB, I don't remember "Back and Back and Back" crushing my heart into little tiny pieces the way "Father's Day" did.

I suspect he's talking about "Different Destinations."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Strega is correct. I found ... Different Destinations to be heartbreaking in entirely different ways than Father's Day. It's less directly emotional, but the collateral damage seems even greater. And it's all tied up with how badly John and Aeryn are functioning at that point, with the damage from earlier episodes, and with showing that it's possible to restore the timeline and still screw up royally along the way.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I suspect he's talking about "Different Destinations."
That's the one. All through it you're thinking that by the end of the episode, they'll get it sorted out for the better, because that's the standard trope of those sorts of episodes, but, this being FARSCAPE, they don't.
Isn't "Back and Back and Back" the one with the horrible jazz-dancing-fu fight? That pretty much mitigates any chance for an episode to do any breaking (other than throwing me out of the ep).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Mock not the jazz-hands fu! For you shall soon be smited with their wrathy twinkle!
...in that episode's defense, that was the first time it became clear that (a) human-alien relations would be distinctively un-virginal; (b) teh craxxy was in effect; and (c) violent death was always around the corner.
So, really, a pretty good thesis for the whole show. In extremely silly format.
