'Sleeper'


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

The next episode is called "Come Together," so I imagine -- pure speculation here -- that we finally begin seeing the Heroes find each other. (Starting with Niki and Hiro, it seems. Which should be interesting, as their stories are the most opposite of each other's.)

From the previews, it looked like Nikki somehow..ahem..hooks up with Adrian Pasdar's character in a hotel. Maybe he goes to Vegas on campaign business/celebration?

I couldn't quite swallow that the Clea Duvall character would so readily bring GG along with her (damn, what is the deal with not being able to remember half the character's names!). I was also thinking Nikki's trunk is going to be DNA-fest for any police she comes in contact with, but that particular angle played out differently than I thought it would.

etaaq: Nikki is the Ali Larter character, right?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Niki is indeed the stripper/single mom.

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

After all -- assuming that was Sylar in the bar -- it seemed Matt couldn't read his mind.

I don't think that was Sylar. I mean, we didn't get a good look at Sylar in the shadows, but...I don't think they would have done that and then shown him in good light so quickly. Of course, I didn't expect to see Sylar at ALL this quickly! Per the promos, Mysterious Black Dude seems to be working with Evil Dad.

SA, nice post! Didn't think of the Powers connection.

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

I was thinking that the guy could be Niki's husband.

D.L.? Possibly. We've not seen him yet, and there's a lot of questions surrounding him, so odds are he'll turn up eventually. One question being, did he really kill those guys in the desert, or did Niki's alter ego do it? And is their kid just regular-old super smart, or is he super-powered like his mom?

I'm not sure the guy in the bar was the same guy we saw trying to kidnap (or whatever) the kid that Matt and Not!Marcie stopped.

  • head thonk* MARCIE. I've been trying to place her all day. Of course.

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

And I think Mysterious Black Guy is played by the guy who played Forest in season 4.(The actor gets around. In Smallville he played one of the nasty Kryptonians in the Phantom Zone, who was sent there after landing in the ship a year ago.)

Dude! That was HIM? And this is HIM? Are you sure? I thought I would recognize him!

Leonard Roberts, what do you know. And FUCK. Don't go to IMDb, because it TELLS YOU WHO HE IS. So I hope we fucking find out next week.

Did NOT recognize him at all. Nor did I notice his name in the credits (but given he had no dialog, he might have been in the after show credits that no network actually seems to let you read any more).

It's as though all actors in genre shows must pass the Test Of Buffy in order to get their chops for everthing PB. (Post-Buffy.)
