I'm kind of sad that not one of you people made a blipvert joke after this.
I tried to, but I exploded.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
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 got no business being here, because I'm getting spoiled left and right. We haven't watched yet - stupid work schedule - but we will. It's a good thing I wasn't eating or drinking anything when I read this, or my monitor would be a mess. As it is, the cats are looking at me funny. And I'm trying to think of a way to work that into general conversation.

Is that first showing on August 13th only on the west coast? And no other East Coast, Central or Mountain NBC viewing?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Lastly, the easy reversal of the mind control felt a bit easy for me too. But I like harder roads and really clever science jargon... I think I'm the only one though.
Well, here is the right spot to let your geek out. Although we're pretty much resigned to the Bright World of Television Science, it doesn't stop us from nitpicking to our hearts' content. (hearts contents?)
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.
But wasn't it textually implied that it didn't come with an off switch? That they didn't know how to reverse it? And only worked it out (very promptly, mind you) for our heroes' benefit?
Some twisting of their paranoia so they had to follow him out would have worked for me
Yeah, this, though. But, okay, I'll take it as it comes.
Oh, and "freaking bugnuts" is an excellent and useful phrase, and a fine alternative to "bugfuck crazy."

Also - the Stargates are getting their lowest ratings ever.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Also - the Stargates are getting their lowest ratings ever.
Aw, poor gates. I'm guessing the 200th ep will bump those up a little.

Speaking of nitpicking...
I may well have missed this, but why exactly did they create a crop circle? And why did they need to use a satellite to beam mind-control rays from the lab to the lab?

I would, however, demand a walkon as Henry's cousin for payment.
