Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I googled (immediately, so they hadn't sprung up from the ep) and found many references, so I think the "fairer than death" line is from the book.

I'm telling you, the exact line from the movie is what's in the book. Just in a different context. Whatever was said on SG-whichever isn't from the book. I'll flip through and see if I can find it, later.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Right, P-C. But you're refering to the "Life is pain" line, right? I'm saying there's a whole other quote, which is what Shep was quoting. (Chapter 8, at the end of the book, according to Spark Notes)

Suela, clearly in a little garage off the Big Chimney.

Yeah, they get there, and Jack says, "Finally. I was expecting you hours ago. Give me that. I'm nearly done, anyway. Well, come on."

"Finally. I was expecting you hours ago. Give me that. I'm nearly done, anyway. Well, come on."

Oh, I would pay so much money to see that. Sadly, show not called Jack O'Neill Saves Atlantis' Ass, so I guess I'll have to settle for hoping that he doesn't actually need to be rescued...

Nope. Once I finish a paper, I want to go back and watch The Pegasus Project. I was in a hotel room with my family when it aired before, and the differences, depending on which set of charcters are POV, are fascinating. Although Rodney gets talked about as more of an ass the more the SGC is involved in any episode of SGA, too.

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

There's a pain quote, and fair quote. I sometimes cross-attribute them myself. Which means I need both a rewatch and a reread.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I was pretty happy - it's the first episode of SGA I've completely enjoyed with no reservations since "No Man's Land."

"...Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all." are the last lines of the book.

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.

There's more but I gotta go again. Very busy. Very sick.

Feel better soon, Colin.
