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"

I'll also raise a very enthusiastic hand for a pilot podcast! I hope they get included in any future DVD set, they add a lot to the experience.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

And apparently, clowns kill.

Ha! I love when they snark on each other. I also loved Sam not wanting to sit on the clown chair and being all uncomfortable. I really liked that episode, killer clowns notwithstanding. Nice bit of CGI: when Dean discovers that the blind dude is the demon, and he smiles really creepily and it turns into this exaggerated, elastic, inhuman clown smile before he disappears.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Finally saw the finale of EUREKA. Poor Henry. Poor Jack. I think it was pretty clear that he remembers everything, and Henry at least remembers enough to try to save Kim. It's going to be mighty uncomfortable between them, I figure (and as Colin thought the next season might detail).

I would like to know how Kim fit in with Henry's plans to leave Eureka, but that aside, I didn't mind that she's been off doing other things (in town or elsewhere).

I had a scare, as my tape went black right at the beginning of the scene with Taggert and Jo out in the field nekkid, but it must have been a cable glitch because it came back on (though after the Taggert/Jo scene, dammit). Did I see green on Taggert's face, as in they were having another round of paintball (so to speak)? I hope the nekkid came afterwards, because otherwise ouch! and "Paint! Paint in new places!"

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I think the green on Taggart's face was zinc oxide, or some other heavy duty sunblock.(It was on his nose)

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, I couldn't understand Smallville's portrayal of Ollie. I mean, he's a good guy. I guess we're supposed to expect the good guys to randomly kidnap and torture people now?

I thought that the clown had different makeup everytime they showed it. Perhaps I was hallucinating.

I think that Alona Tal did a very nice job -- and her character on SPN is, so far, quite different from Meg.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I would like to know how Kim fit in with Henry's plans to leave Eureka, but that aside, I didn't mind that she's been off doing other things (in town or elsewhere).

I was wondering about that, too. Was he going to ask Kim to come with him? What if she'd said no?

I guess we're supposed to expect the good guys to randomly kidnap and torture people now?

Well, it's the law.

I AM going to miss Kim, though, if she doesn't make a re-appearence at some point. Poor Henry.

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.

Also, what's up with Ollie using a compound bow? Since when does the great Green Arrow need "training wheels"?

It looked like the same clown to me every time.

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

Since when does the great Green Arrow need "training wheels"?

Since Metropolis got all hip and modern. Frankly, I was glad they went that way because an old-school bow and arrow would just look ridiculous and out of place.

Sort of like his costume next week. (Minor promo spoiler)

I am leaving. You are about to explode. ~Teal'c, 'Talion'

Shrift! Yo! (Wow, didn't realise how many people I already know are here.)

I would like to know how Kim fit in with Henry's plans to leave Eureka

Frankenbuddha: Yes, my question as well. Because I'd assumed, I think, that Henry was leaving to go find Kim (otherwise his sudden massive discontent was a bit out-of-the-bluish even with the "truth pollen"). And which seemed in character, despite my desire to nail Joe Morton's shoes to the floor of his trailer because I adore him as an actor. So when Kim was just suddenly there in the finale, as if she'd never left...foot on non-existent step. I think that kind of threw me off for the whole ep, emotionally, particularly when mixed with the disappointment of losing another character/actor I really liked. Sort of an odd parallel to the show, I guess...sacrificing Kim to keep Henry, which made it all uncomfortably sad on a number of levels. Also...harbinger of the nine month hiatus. Sniff.

Sumi: 'Regenesis' is a Canadian show actually set in Canada (whoa! fancy that!). It's basically a cutting-edge VirusOTW scientific procedural, but more character-driven than the CSI-style stuff. The OS is at [link] if you want more info. It's really good.

Oh, and since it's all I've got these days.../Fi empties the pennybox into Colin's Pilot Commentary Beer Fund.
