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.

n 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.

And I think Mysterious Black Guy is played by the guy who played Forest in season 4

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).

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

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.)

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

BSG: on one of the other boards I frequent, someone just dropped the insight that this is the first casting of Dean Stockwell that really gets why he worked so well in Blue Velvet. In that movie, he was the guy who creeps out Frank Booth. In BSG, he's the one who creeps out the other Cylons.

'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"

In my house we refer to the Stockwell Cylon as Evil!Al.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Just how many pages are in Hiro's comic book, anyway?

How can the artist guy do 32+ pages of comics a month, paint all of those paintings, and still find the time to get high?

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

I don't know, but it would explain Alan Moore.

Well, it seems that getting high is what allows him to paint all those paintings, so that's an efficient use of his time. Maybe he does it all in his sleep, too.

I wonder why he draws what he draws. I mean, is the scene of Peter and Simone kissing really that important? The random tableau of Claire and the nerdboy? I like the visual transition because it's fun, but it's not like it was a pivotal moment in history. Surely, he could have painted something more important than that.
