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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I know it's too late and all that but we wanted to be complete.
Convienently we tend to lean toward the obsessive. So going back to listen is always an option.

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

I, for one, welcome the new Daniel Craig James Bond.

It's possible that, despite having read all the books and seen all the movies (every one since my teenhood in the theatres, first run), that I'm not a proper fan. Bond casting news has never done other than make me curious.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with an early-in-his-career Bond. Definitely an interesting way to shake up the franchise.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Hi Colin!

Wish I could listen to the podcasts, but I have an old computer and can't run the appropriate software, alas.

Art Crawl!!!

I'm happy with Daniel Craig as Bond -- it should make for a more interesting Bond.

I got an email from MGM about tonight's new SG1. Isn't that odd? I never have before.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

We're gonna commentary the pilot this weekend we think (aka 101 + 102). I think that's how they number anyway. I know it's too late and all that but we wanted to be complete.

Excellent, since that's the only one I've seen so far.

[Oops, was that out loud?]

The others are Tivoed up for this weekend, the first one in yonks when I won't be stuck at the office.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I, for one, welcome the new Daniel Craig James Bond.

Same here. Even moreso, if he really were an alien overlord. Alas, he's just British.

(Although, and this really belongs in Movies, nobody but nobody looks comfortable or natural playing baccarat any more, the way people don't look comfortable in tuxedoes. So I can't imagine how they'll pull off the first 20 minutes of Casino Royale, before they get to the stuff-blows-up parts. I saw the trailer and was like -- dudes, it's a card game. My grandma could kick your ass at this game.)

You are exceedingly harsh. Just as I lay my entire fate at the feet of Mr. Craig, I also hope that they've hired actors who can act like they're comfortable and natural in tuxedoes as well as playing baccarat.

It's a fair trade.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Tuxedoes are as unforgiving on a man as lingerie on a woman: exposing not external flaw (those can be hid, artfully) but internal bold smoove.

Actually, I bet in the alternate universe where boys go to finishing school instead of girls, learning how to wear a tuxedo (or any bespoke outfit) would be a whole semester-long class.

Harsher still. I have definitely seen men carry off the bespoke in recent days, and have no more beef with men in tuxedoes than most women in white or black tie attire. And, honestly, lingerie's not a big attitude problem for me either.
