And we live to fight another day.

Mal ,'Objects In Space'


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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'd been mentally adding "And they have a plan" to the 4400's new pre-show montage thingy, but after last night's ep, I think I'ma have to stop, because I don't think they do.

Does someone want to tell me what the frell happened with Kevin? Was he faking being sick, or did Isabelle's promeicin make him better? And why exactly should I care? Is any of this going anywhere? Did everyone else already give up on this show weeks ago?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I gave up on it, Jessica. It just doesn't hold my, admittedly ADD-like, attention.

Jessica, the 4400 i don't think the promeicin Kevin has is Isabelle's. it's some that he produced chemically.

my take on it was not that he was faking it, but that he really is developing 4400-like powers and he was able to shed his skin and look normal again.

it's going somewhere, but i'm not sure we're going to care by the time it gets there or if it's going to be very satisfying.

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

Kevin was sick from the promycin, but it was a process--it ran all the way through and he sloughed off the big skin he'd developed. I don't think it had anything to do with Isabelle and the promycin she's been giving to Webb.

I still like it.

I'm trying to hang in with 4400 but, truth be told, if it wasn't for my Season pass catching it, I probably wouldn't bother.

So he and Tess weren't outside Peter Coyote's office at the end? That was just a badly edited coincidence?

Not that it matters, of course, since next week Everything Will Change.

I want to like it, but it's being very frustrating this season.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I still like it.

I mostly like it, but the whole Isabelle thing has become very irritating, and I miss the focus on the various 4400s and their abilities.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I concur with tiggy and ita. I've just binged on S3 and I've liked it, mostly, although Isabelle should DIE already OMG she's so fucking annoying. She's making Shawn and Richard boring and irritating by the virtue of proximity, and I used to like these two. Well, Richard more than Shawn.

I really dug the Kevin & Tess show in the last episode, which may have to do with the enormous amount of residual goodwill I have toward Summer Glau and Jeffrey Coombs. They're sad and wrong and clearly doomed, so of course I totally ship them.

I think so, Jessica. At least, it never occurred to me.

Oh, I like the characters too. I just don't understand their narrative.
