Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'


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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

When we have the second season*, can there pretty please be an episode where nanoids eat everybody's clothes? It would make up for the tragic lack of nakedness this season.

Yes, I know there would suddenly be an outbreak of strategically placed furniture, plants, and props, but even so.

* If I keep saying that, it must come true, right?

"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 know what these words mean and yet...

I think it means the SciFi execs were terrified when they saw the season finale of Dr. Who and are now overcompensating.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Literally they said it was "too homoerotic"

Did you not explain to them that the slashers need but a bit of suggestion and one pivotal scene and they are off? And that all of this slash is FREE PUBLICITY the show?

I actually didn't mind the Jack/Allison in this episode. I thought that it was much subtler. Which, admittedly, isn't saying much. I thought that she was reevaluating her relationship with Stark, but the prospect of Jack leaving made her think about her feeling for him.

My biggest issue in this episode is the complete irrationality of BRAD (and that's how I handwaved them staying in the house -- SARAH didn't kill the pizza guy, BRAD did). Anyway. Brad is an interrogation program, right? So, what is the point of "surrender"? The goal of interrogation is information. And if SARAH was so completely gone, why was BRAD following her primary objective? And why, when faced with "false surrender" was the idea to kill the subjects? Why did Jack and Allison get cold, Fargo and Beverly got hot, and Stark and Henry got nothing?

Okay, I'm done, I think. I loved Jo and Taggart, especially "when I go after your flank, you'll know it"

I think Henry and Stark were in danger of getting poisonous fire-suppression gas. At one point they were trying to forestall that possibility by pulling out panels looking for wires to cut....

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It was the scene when I'm naked anyway at Bev's.

My eyebrows may have tangled in my hair. Ahem.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because you don't like it when people who don't know you well call you Bev, right?

That must be it.

I was wondering if BRAD had the same detection capabilities as SARAH because if so...

wouldn't BRAD know what everyone was thinking? sort of? by calculating blood pressure levels, surely he'd have known everyone was lying before Bev spilled the beans. I don't think they could have actually pulled the wool over BRAD's eyes that quickly.

But that's my only real complaint. This was a GREAT one.
