am I the only one who thinks that she wanted him to fight for her?
Nope. I thought the same thing.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They didn't name them as divorce papers, did they? How sad is it that I was relieved they were divorce papers, and not some game being played with the audience?
I've been primed by too much easy TV.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The close-up shot definitely said divorce or dissolution of marriage or something unequivocal.

Did it open with the shot, or was it during the scene? I do remember hoping it was simply what it seemed it was, but not when I sat back and gave thanks.

During the scene. Allison brings in the envelop and hands it to Stark who opens it and takes out the papers. We could easily read "Dissolution of Marriage" on them.

Is this before all the dialogue? I need to work out how stupid to feel for my inattentiveness.
Annoyingly, the nap dialogue was obscured by bad reception on my part. I'm a power napper! That snippet was written just for me!

It was during the dialogue. I don't remember exactly when, but Stark had made some snarky comments to Allison and Allison replied and said she had something for him. He looked at the papers and they had some uncomfortable moments and the scene was over.

Stark asked if she was there to invite him to the dance. She didn't reply. He said she obviously wasn't there to invite him to the dance. She gave him the papers.
I still have it on tape if someone (ita) needs a transcription later.

Nah, I have it on my TiVo, but thanks. I thought the reveal was later than that, after she'd implied more.

He looked at the papers and they had some uncomfortable moments and the scene was over.
After we see "Dissolution of Marriage", Stark notes that she's already signed. She asks if there's a problem, totally giving him an opportunity to raise a fuss about how he refuses to sign. He declines, and says that they should have done "this" a long while ago, but it slipped through the cracks, little things. Allison is bitter on that note. He asks if she needs anything else, and she says she got what she came for.
