Ben ,'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.

a placement without any natural defenses.
Defenses... from what? With Baltar in charge, it's not difficult for me to believe that the settlement was pretty haphazard. But I guess to me these seem like part of it being a TV show. Yes, we don't see the forest in establishing FX shots, but as your first post noted, it's obviously meant to be nearby. The wide shots need to match wherever they're actually shooting. And I assume that they're living in tents instead of making wooden buildings because they don't want to spend their entire budget on log cabins.

If it was a plot point that they set up in a ridiculous location, it'd bug me, but I don't see how it would have made a difference in the story.

They've also well established that his craven, short-sighted cowardice wins over any ethical concerns every time, and that's basically what happened there.
Balk, sure. But resisting even when there's a gun to his head? I think he's more complicated than that, anyway, but even in situations like in "Fragged," self-preservation has been his top priority.

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

I think you and Starbuck are somewhat different.

Yes, because I'd have shagged Lee by now. It's just that she is so full of despair now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

  • ** Announcement ***

I'm re-posting this here (and elsewhere -- sorry if you see it multiple times) from the Sunnydale Press thread (handily linked on the front page, your Message Center, etc.), since I think maybe folks who hang out around here don't necessarily read that thread regularly.

First of all, I really want to thank everyone -- regular posters and lurkers alike! -- who has contributed to the running of this board over the years. However, I need to ask everyone again to consider making a gift to the board. Our funds are running low, and we are the only people who can change that.

If just 10% of registered users gave just $10, we'd have enough money to run for over a year. If you've sent me money recently, THANK YOU. If you've never contributed before, please think about throwing in a couple of bucks.

To give via paypal, send it to donations at buffistas.org. If you want to mail me a check, you can email me for my address.

Thanks, y'all. We can make this work!

I just met (well, I met him a couple weeks ago, but just found out on seeing him again today) an ex of Tricia Helfer's.

I turned to him and said "Damn. Well played."

He nodded. I followed up with "That's a lot of woman."

He nodded again.

"Like seven foot worth," I continued. Then I remembered I had the option of being quiet and stopped saying stupid things.

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

I'm laughing with you, ita, not at you.

Possibly both.

From Waaaaaaaaaay back:'

The part I am confused by is that in the other timeline, Kim's death did not happen , so there could be no invesitgation for him to get fired over (at least not for that reason)

I seem to remember Henry saying some thing about how he had to take the job so that he could get access to the Artifact to build the time machine, so I got the distinct impression that he'd gotten Stark fired (and it JUST occured to me that Stark was running Stark Industries, like maybe with his UNCLE TONY)

Heroes thing: I thought that pattern looked like a bit of DNA--one side of the twisty ladder, and a few rungs.

Another Heroes thing: One of the guys at krav went to school with SuperHiro, and says he's a really great guy who's crazy good at a bunch of stuff. Which chuffs me greatly. Love him.

I saw the actor on the Megan Mullally show. He was great. Apparently used to do improv comedy.

Dude, he's not only an actor, but he's a digital/CG artist dude! He worked at ILM!
