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.

Yeah. Juliebird's right. I was a bit manic in the podcast. I have calmed down since then.

And I totally agree, the scream off camera a-la-horror-homage just flat out didn't work. And they had other coverage (close ups and what not). Maybe if they'd just upped the volume to advertising levels or something. I think I agreed in the podcast as well - but I was in such a state it's hard to remember.

I'll watch Purple Haze tomorrow but won't spoil.

Colin - how long is the podcast for Primal? I've subscribed on itunes but the version I got was only 15 minutes long and that doesn't seem right.

I didn't know you could subscribe to the podcasts on iTunes! That would be easier than I had worried about, which is why I've been putting it off....

Spinering: The actors on ST:TNG were in so much awe of Brent Spiner's acting to blue screen creatures and situations that they came to refer to it as Spinering.

Please don't calm down for future podcasts, Colin! It's, well, fun, and I love that you're passionate about it. BTW, what kind of musician is Ed?

Podcasts & iTunes: I've found that it's easier to forget the subscription on iTunes and just manually download each podcast (either from iTunes or the podcast page on the official site). iTunes seems to still be wonky, cuz the subscription just sits there instead of automatically downloading, even when I hit "update podcasts" .

"Primal" should be 41:14 minutes.

How much does it cost to download a podcast from iTunes? I'm in a bit of a money crunch, and while I'd like to see all these nifty extras, I don't want to blow my budget.

A lot of podcasts are free -- I suppose because they're promotional, really -- and the Eureka ones are indeed free. So no budget need be busted.

Ok, see, now I'm pondering an alternate reality in which the Buffy-verse and the Firefly-verse were in the far more capable and committed to quality hands of the Beeb instead of Fox.

Seriously.

I bet the BBC would have been easy to talk into mini-series to flesh out bits of characters' stories. And the fact that I'm now salivating more over Faith: Behind Bars and Two-gun Wesley: A Man, His Boat, and His Girl in a Cage than over Spike: One Crazy Summer, Or How I Got My Soul Back and Lived To Regret It really says something.
