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.

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

I didn't have a problem with the technical reversal of the mind control rays from space--I'd assume that the research would have come with an off switch.

It's the way Jack talked them down...it was close, but not enough. Some twisting of their paranoia so they had to follow him out would have worked for me--once they're out and restrained, whatever.

However, one needed the "I trust you" speech to Jo, I guess. It felt a bit whiplashy to me--"Distrust me instead! But now I trust you! You are trapped!"

I missed last night's ep due to Comcast big fat lies, as well. Oh, well, time to track down a rerun later this week.

In BSG news, they're going to do an hour-long recap show to be broadcast on all NBC-owned channels!! [link]

Comcast.... add them to my list...

The last scene: We got there at the end of a long day, we had no time, we got it on it's feet - 3 page monologue for me. And it flat out didn't work. They lit in 20 minutes. Andy rewrote it in 10 and I would memorize as he wrote. We the whole thing in half an hour with 2 cameras burning the whole time.

I'm really proud of what it didn't turn into but agree, we would have loved a little time to finesse it, had a bit more coverage to move them out a bit more. And we greatly look forward to getting an 8th day in second season. (first season was 7 day episodes)

I felt the "cuff'em" bit was for their own good. That they were only gonna be docile for a moment or two....

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

I liked that moment a lot. It was perfect.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That made me laugh, too. "So are they all okay...?" "No! They're ##crazy! Restraints, quick!"

Jack didn't say "bugfuck crazy" but that's how I keep remembering it.

The line was "they're freakin' bugnuts. Restraints, fast."

I'm not sure if it was "now, or "fast" or "quick"... but I like bugfuck crazy though.

I LOVED that part.

Does anyone know if/when SciFi is rerunning this week's Eureka ep? I just looked at TVGuide.com, and they don't list any "additional airings" of the show.

I didn't see one--but my DVR guide only goes up to three days or so. Don't they usually play a rerun over the weekend? Unless they're playing some of the juicier b-movies, like Alligator III.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The only repeat listed on Yahoo is the 11pm from last night, unfortunately.
