We should discuss Venture Brothers here....
I'm trying to work "snickerpuss" into my vocabulary. And Jesus Jones.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Wouldn't the inexplicable reason be to kill Blade?
They've said several times that silver doesn't work on him.
I'm disappointed Chase is alive. Not because I dislike her overly, but just because it was a dumb tease, and ruined by the previews anyway. Now I feel like none of the main characters can die. And that's including Boone.
Yeah. When it happened I went "Holy shit, they killed her off." and then of course they took it back, which is lame. Like you, I don't have anything against the character, but showing someone engulfed in flames in an exploding building, during daytime, no less, and then having them survive is a cheat.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
SG1 and SGA ALWAYS goe on an extended break from Sept - January. So, this isn't new.
There is some talk at the moment that they may be on hiatus from September through March, though.

I think that we just got used to Joss and Tim killing off major characters. That doesn't happen in most shows, it's usually a cheat.

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

I completely missed that. I thought he was just sunlight proof. So what does kill him?
I think the silver knife is bogus anyway. Way too easy. Is silver a standard part of vampire killer lore? I associate it with werewolves mostly.

Oh, that would be so mean.
Also, Colin! Welcome.
I hesitate to admit that my computer is down again... mostly I hesitate because it's my fault. Did you know that the latest Microsoft service pack doesn't play well with all laptops? Yeah, neither did I. Hello, O/S restart. Anyway, the point of all that was... how excited was I to see more than 200 posts in Boxed Set? Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis excited. That was fun to catch up on.
I enjoyed Sateda for the cool action video with fun character moments that it was. I adored Carson cowboying up at the end!
Insiders had Ba'als, so that was happy making. I honestly thought Sam was pulling a fakeout somehow with the planet addresses. Ah, well.

well, there is some stuff about how since silver is a "pure" metal, it's harmful to vampires. It doesn't kill them, it just hurts them.

I'm confused by the Blade mythology. Not Hex!confused, but unclear nonetheless.
