Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

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.

We shot 12 plus the pilot.

I like the Jack and Jo thing too! (we called it Lupo and Carter but I'm a convert - Jack and Jo sounds better) We wanted to make it more like siblings getting at each other and giving each other a hard time instead of just angry.

It's so hard! There is so much I can't say. But it gets better. I liked Purple Haze for their dymanic, myself, for Jack and Jo.

It's hard with Blink out of order. You arc stuff for an airing sequence but they tell me that Before I forget just cut together faster.

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

they tell me that Before I forget just cut together faster.

That's because John knew who he was writing for.

Of course, it's just possible I'm making stuff up.

When do you record the Before I Forget podcast?

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, very sibling like.

It's so hard! There is so much I can't say.

Sure you can.

By the way, Eureka is on a short list of shows that my family enjoys watching together. I watched the pilot with my 11 & 14 year old sons and they loved it. Husband asked me today if I had the 3rd episode for him to watch yet. (Don't tell that I watched without them. I'll watch again later when they get home.)

The air goes out of the building, she says goodbye and then I do the rest of the scene to a piece of tape stuck to a stand.

Am I alone in thinking that this might be one of the few perks of working with all the child actors on Seventh Heaven?

We recorded it at 3:30 and made the 4:30 fed ex drop last night - the Fed Ex guy waited while I wrote the airbill. Sci Fi NY got the mini disc at 10:30 this morning.

Hopefully it'll air tonight.

I'm talking to Erica right now (Jo) on the phone. Gotta go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There is so much I can't say.

We do have a spoiler thread....

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

I have to say, the mouthbreather from Wonderfalls being the voice of the house cracks me up.

Wait a minute. It's not actually the Mouthbreather -- uhm, let me look him up; Neil Grayston -- who's voicing S.A.R.A.H., is it? 'Cause that's some damn good female vocal impersonation.

You arc stuff for an airing sequence

OMG YOU SAID THE MAGIC WORD, "arc". We love arcs.

Count me in as one of the people loving the Jack & Jo dynamic. I think Jack bounces best off of (wait -- that looks wrong. Ah well) Jo and Henry. The rest of the cast is starting to gel as well, but these three are already *tight*.

It is! Isn't that hysterical? He's frighteningly good at it.

Wow. He is VERY [/Jim] good. That's kind of... hot in a funny way. And it's making me want to see him in a dress and eyeliner. What?

ETA: If Colin posts a couple of more times, we're going to need a new Box Set thread before Friday. Yay new thread!

That was something that took some work. (Neil deciding how to do SARAH)

They all got together on the looping stage (some via ISDN) and hammered it out. Neil said it took a really long time. He was sort of amazed how much dialogue she has.

But he got paid more for doing a "second character" in the show - which we loved because he always got screwed with turn around.

Turn around is the time between wrap and call.

There was one day he worked 14 hours and then got 4 hours off and was called back to do it again. He went home to his new apartment that had no furniture (he was moving), slept in an 70's orange armchair for 2 hours and came back.
