Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."  

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.

I thought, "Aha! Fed. Gun. Wow, that must be some big gun. And some damned good tailoring to hide it."

not possible. that jacket was too short and too form fitting. Plus, we've never seen her with a gun, and if she'd had one, she would have had it out when Jack drew his.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Well, that was my immediate wank of her being magnetized to the fence. But yeah, I don't remember her carrying a gun.

Both her wrists were, supposedly, stuck on each side of Jack, so I thought watch and bracelet--steel, I guess.

serial:

That's not right. She used her right hand to try and get her belt off or his or something. It was the left, and I guess her belt, that were stuck.

her watch probably. But, I still can't imagine that small bit of metal being that strongly magnetized. Maybe she had laundry quarters in her pocket.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Quarters aren't attracted by magnets. Canadian nickels are (at least they used to be) because they have a higher percentage of actual nickel in them than US nickels. So maybe she had a bunch of those twelve-sided nickels with the beaver on the back of them.

Or she has steel rods in her arms and spine from the terrible automobile accident she was in once upon a time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Or an adamantium skeleton! Not that adamantium, you know, exists or is actually magnetic, but it worked like a charm in the first X-men movie.

Hah, Wikipedia is our friend:

In 1982 the composition [of the Canadian nickel] was changed [from 100% nickel] to the same as that of the American five-cent piece—cupronickel (75% copper and 25% nickel)—and in 2000 it was changed again, to nickel-plated steel.

So, they both had a whole bunch of nickel-plated steel Canadian nickels on their persons.

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

Not that adamantium, you know, exists or is actually magnetic

Wait...it isn't magnetic? Magneto's used it to toss Wolverine around in comics too.
