'The Message'


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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Why the senator as opposed to anyone else?

Oooh! I have a Liese-paranoia-theory; something is wrong with the senator, for reals, and their mind dysfunction allowed them to see it. (Hey, I was right about W&H planting bugs with their exterminator at the Hyperion. Paranoia is good for you!)

But as far as in the text of the ep, Spencer evidently interpreted his helicopter as his spaceship, so equally interpreted the senator as alien. And yeah, it makes sense about the movie they all watched characterizing the specifics of your mind control ray effects. I got nothing about the crop circles. Other than, I really really like crop circles. I want to go make crop circles. But we don't actually have crops out here in the desert. Maybe I could make sagebrush circles. But that seems like work.

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

I think Spencer created the crop circle because he was convinced there was an alien invasion and he'd been abducted, and crop circles happen when the aliens come, and since there wasn't one there, he had to make it and then forget that he made it. In order to reinforce his own delusion.

He needs better, more fully-functional delusions.

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

Says the woman who bemoans the lack of crops in which she can make circles.

Don't lie. You vacation in Kansas.

They have fields of stuff in Kansas, right?

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

Shiny new Doctor Who pictures and info. I'm sort of 'hmm' about the new blue suit. I'm in favor of not wearing the same suit all the time, but I'm not in love with the new one.

How's this to throw in :

Maybe the distribution of the paranoia inducing monkey beam (via hijacked signal) was not optimum and the full effect of thee paranoia could not be experienced which would account for the cohesion of the group.

FYI, Shayne (who plays Spencer) asked many times ".....and WHY do I have to be naked sitting in a crop circle."

I can't remember if it made the podcast but the movie was supposed to start with the unversal logo but universal legal couldn't clear it with universal in time for the universal logo to be used in a universal show.... we all stood there silently and nodded.

Oh!

And we've been back to Sci Fi about the Comcast and Direct Tv situation. No one is very pleased but they are aware of it now. Gracias.

And the numbers came in. We're holding over a 2. So we're stoked! - especially with the scheduling gaff.

The ray was in beta. That covers a lot of sins.

Brilliant!
