'Hell Bound'


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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

And, in a Very Special Edition, Teyla comes over to take on the winner. Or Six, if she doesn't win.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I started watching Season 1 of Dr. Who and really enjoyed it, but lost track of it due to RL issues. I'm waiting for the DVDs to catch up.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

From the NYT review of Hex:

If you never liked "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," though you tried to like it but the dialogue seemed uptight...

The dialogue, uptight? Not the word that comes to mind, even if I tried to come up with a negative one. Overly zingy or neologistic, maybe.

and you never fully understood the connection between adolescent alienation and the supernatural because as a teenager you liked realistic stuff that told you how to get by, then you may have a chance to redeem yourself with "Hex."

(emphasis mine) ::blinks:: Like what, 90210? Saved by the Bell? (not that there's anything wrong with liking those shows) (well, there might be something a little wrong with really liking SbtB)

In any case, previews suggest that she is about to
have "Rosemary's Baby" troubles and be forced to bear a devil-child of some kind.

Her review + what y'all have said = me okay with missing Hex

Like what, 90210? Saved by the Bell?

Well, I suppose the Degrassi shows would qualify, but I don't see Hex as their logical next step.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

ok , so I didn't hate hex. But it really doesn't have anyrelationship to Buffy , except that it is real world ( ha) girls meets the supernatural world and has to save the world. So they are the same genre - but , um really that seems to it.

If it is close to anything it is more like a serious version of Charmed.

"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

Bwah! I just started reading the TwoP recaps for Farscape, and I think Couch Baron and I will see eye-to-eye on the show based on this:

Over at the Fleet of Eevil, Blonde Underling tells Crais they've got the image of the pilot. When they see Crichton, Blonde Underling is like, "He's Sebacean!" Yes, he is. By the way, I'm really looking forward to the end of summer, as it's been in the nineties for weeks, and that's way too Sebacean for my tastes.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

Are they actually going to recap the whole series? Someone said that on one of the Tubey's Kids threads, and I wasn't sure if it was true or if someone was just mistaking getting their own forum for getting a full season(s) worth of recaps. I couldn't find an announcement anywhere.

I don't know... I would think it odd that they gave the show its own multiple-thread forum in the "current shows" section rather than just an individual thread elsewhere if they weren't going to continue the recaps. Strega did one of them, so I'm sure she's the most likely to have the full scoop.
