La la la la, I'm still pretending to not hear that...
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
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 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.
They've said several times that silver doesn't work on him
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.

Oh. I'm so sad. I'm going to miss the thread turnover.
Unless everyone gets chatty... looks hopeful

It doesn't seem to be terribly consistent. Again, we are spoiled by Joss. The Blade target audience is more about blood, cool fights and sexy chicks than plot.

Cliff Simon, who plays Ba'al, is going to be at DragonCon. I plan to walk by him a few times and marvel at how stunning he is in person.
