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.

Thrive to spite them

L&O as regular programming on SCI FI? I'm starting to think Dick Wolf sold his soul to the Devil, why else would the shows be on so often?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Matt, I think she (and the rest of the SGC) were pretty much always like that to him. It was only magnified by the whole "almost killed Teal'c" thing. And I believe that this is actual memory, and not just fic-incluenced.

The thing is, he was actually right about most of his suppositions (except Teal'c coming back wrong). They just lucked out that Carter's final solution only fried a DHD as opposed to leaving a Tycho-sized crater where Cheyenne Mountain used to be.

Is Simon the Eyes Guy? Cylon Doctor?

Yes. And he played a goa'uld, too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Ooh--he was the evangelising kraving "sacrificing ourselves for the cause is *good* masquerading as a Jaffa Goa'uld, right? I remember that voice.

That's the thing about SG-1. They're always right. In the end, it always works for them. Rodney's just too smart to accept that. At least, that's my theory.

That's the one, Bev. Capoeira!Goa'uld, as I like to call him.

(Bev? Do I call you Bev? Do you even like Bev?)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

To me, he will always be the guy from Magnificent Seven.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Once you bring out the dumb blonde remark, I don't care how right you are. (And that's a consistent flaw in SG-1; Kinsey's got some good points too.)

I dunno. I just have no patience for jackasses, and Rodney is a arrogant jackass to Sam from the very first scene he appears in, speaking badly of her competence for no good reason and clearly trying to talk up how much more brilliant he is than her. Arrogant jackass. No patience at all. Whereas Sam is under considerable emotional stress, and doesn't get nastily personal in the same way right off; I mean, she's a little defensive, sure, but she's not trying to tear Rodney down, she's trying to hold her own.

Looking at the transcript, he does do better in their second scene, but by then he's lost me. (And then Dumb Blonde happens, you know? That scene makes me want to hold the character down and kick him. Repeatedly.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

What the fuck?!?

That is all.
