Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Okay, over the past week or so, I finished up this season of Dr. Who.

I am so glad that other people were scared by The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit, because I would have hid under my bed, had it been convenient. Dr. Who is usually sci-fi scary, but this was horror movie Aliens scary, and I was successfully creeped the HELL out.

It was almost impossible to avoid what the big spoiler was -- when everyone is talking about "the big spoiler", it's a pretty easy guess that someone's leaving the show. So I spent the whole of Doomsday waiting for it to happen. Big props to Billie Piper, though, who is aces at being utterly miserable. *sniffle*

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

Evil-shrink-lady murdered Susan #2, and made it look like suicide, if that helps. Which brings up a point. Did anyone do an autopsy on Susan #2, or even investigate the fact that it might not be a suicide?

Well, evil shrink lady spread some pills around, probably the same substance that she poisoned her with. Her husband had just died after almost destroying the universe, so I can see how they might have chalked it up to suicide, especially if the Evil Shrink had said something like "I can't share out sessions, but I'm not surprised"

Susan #2 may not have contacted her parents because Walter told her she couldn't because they were moving to Eureka. I mean, if I moved to a top secret town, I wouldn't be surprised that I wasn't allowed to talk to anyone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Had a convo with Colin...the producers know that the Sarah thing is creepy--they like that. And [thematic spoiler] it will be referred to later on in the season.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Remind me what the Sarah thing is?

Art Crawl!!!

The house. It's S.A.R.A.H.

(I can't recall what the acronym stands for.)

I'm sad that they're not repeating Eureka on USA tomorrow. I told some friends (who are scifi-less) that they were because they did last week.

Oh yeah.

Duh.

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

Excellent! As long as the creepy is intentional, I'm all for it.

I didn't realize *that* Colin was "your" Colin, ita. That's a strange feeling: the imaginary people in my Internet know the imaginary people in my tv. It's like a fandom crossover, where you can't quite imagine how the characters will look standing next to each other, and the lighting effects are all different.

Wait! I didn't mean Sarah. That's what I get for posting while on the phone. I meant Susan. D'oh. No brain. They know Susan is creepy.

I hope I mean Susan.

Zenkitty, it's a strange feeling for me too. But more than any other time, the guy onscreen doesn't make me think of Colin most of the time--perhaps because he's so relaxed in what he's doing, doing stuff that plays to his strengths. He's been able to make me forget it's him...in 5 minute snatches in a smoky comedy bar with people chatting all over--because he was doing his thing. He's doing it again, and I'm so happy for him that I could bust.

I was wondering about that. Susan made more sense.

How do you know Colin, ita?
