I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I thought Smallville was okay. The SFX of the Zod/Clark fight unfortunately screamed "TV Budget!" though.

Not super-thrilled about the unknown alien/Kryptonian menaces unleashed on Earth, though.

I just had to shake my head in disbelief at Lana unpinning herself. I just don't buy her being a badass, no matter how many times the show tries to make me think she is.

And Jimmy being Clark's age or older still bothers me, even if he is very Jimmy in behavior.

As for Supernatural, I also wasn't wowed. Though I was completely annoyed with last season's cliffhanger, so that probably bled over. Dean's conversation with the reaper was interesting, though.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

My question, though, is -- did Dean actually sit through Ghost?? I mean, not really his thing, you know? Unless he was hoping that a weepy girl is a girl whose bones are more easily jumped.

Then again, that movie came out when he was, what, 15?

There is a funny story in there, where Dean has a secret adoration for weepy girl movies, and when he is not listening to Metallica he is watching Lifetime Television for Women. This is the heretofore-unknown why he picks up women so easily: he can converse coherently about the career of Jaclyn Smith.

Yeah, the "Full-on Swayze" line was probably the best line in the show.

I can't believe that they killed off Daddy Winchester!!!

Dean was like, totally barefoot in most of this episode.

Surely, there are screencaps somewhere.

That was a good line, and as much as the thought of Dean secretly watching chick-flicks amuses me, I think it's more of an American culture thing. I'm actually hard-pressed to think of another easily-recognizable film that featured ghosts/a ghost and I've never even seen Ghost.

I thought that was pretty cool.

This was my first episode, and I thought it was kinda boring.

Wow. There was so much pay off in this episode about the family relationships.

I guess it was a bad first episode. I thought it was really good.

Yeah, I could tell that it was probably interesting if you knew the characters and their relationships.

My Tivo, despite having a Season Pass for SPN, and despite having nothing conflicting with it, did not tape SPN. I am both spoiled and annoyed.
