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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

They've been doing that all along, if memory serves.

and it annoys me every time. SO unrealistic. But then, I've never been in a Vegas interrogation, so maybe that's the way they do it out there.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I don't think there's anywhere but television where crime scene techs interview people. The Georgia crime lab is roughly nine months behind. I think you could argue that CSI is taking place in an alternate universe.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

BSG definitely needs to bring in a male sexbot Cylon. I think that Gale Harold (Brian Kinney from Queer as Folk) would fit the bill quite nicely.

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.

House is sci-fi, too.

Totally. Only in an alternate universe would doctors have the skilled technical training to run diagnostic equipment like the MRI and mamogram machines. Also? I am soooooooooooo glad the universe they live in finally cottoned on to the not-putting shit in the mouths of people who are seizing.

ETA: Obviously the medical insurance racket is not as powerful there than it is here - imagine four doctors devoting their attentions to a single patient for hours on end, without getting warning notices from the patients' insurance companies saying they need to start being more efficient with their billed hours.

If I only had a brain...

Note that on House Cameron runs all of House's lab tests, and all of them run their own MRIs. I don't *think* so. [x-post!]

I am a very bad BSG/GG fan. I totally missed this incident of Lorelai Gilmore using the word, "Frakking".

Apparently the word "fracking" is more widespread than we thought: [link]

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Ever notice that nurses are almost entirely absent from the House 'verse?

Also, 24 should be consider SF just on the strength of Jack's ability to maneuver around LA during rush hours. At least this season with the curfew, there's a reason that he might be able to get somewhere fast.

Oh, HEEE.

HOUSE has nurses only when Wilson is boffing them.

Thrive to spite them

They've been doing that all along, if memory serves.

CSI started out at least having a cop in the same room and mostly running the interrogations with the Grissom, Kat, whoever present and asking questions but not really running the show. The last few times I watched it was just the CSIs.
