Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.
'Serenity'
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.

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 don’t even know where to start. You’re about to be critted by a wall of text.”
This cracks me up to no end.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that seeing his ex kissing someone totally sends him over the edge.
Okay...that cheerleader? Could she be clumsier? How often do you hear about football practice bystanders having their heads knocked all the way round? I could buy it if they were examples of her being careless, but that and the stick in the back of the head were just plain bad luck.
I loved the Nissan product placement. That's how it should be done. It's perfectly in character for Hiro to insist on, and you shift the clumsiness of the placement to the comic, for which you're not taking responsibility.

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

Yeah, that bugged me, too. She seems to get into more trouble than Dawn Summers.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
Maybe along with gaining the power, she's lost the 'oh my god going to die must put out hand to break fall' type reflexes? Like people who have no pain sensation are more likely to get burned badly?

Hasn't most of it been of her own making though, what with the suicide leaps and running into fires and careless reaching down an active disposal?

I consider the neck break to be so out of the ordinary that getting that stick rammed into her head (now I need test data on how much force it takes to jam a stick through the skull pan) is enough to make me roll my eyes. Everything else? Not even a factor for me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
careless reaching down an active disposal?
Speaking of product placement: [link]
The company that makes In-Sink-Erator garbage disposers is suing NBC, claiming that an episode of the new show "Heroes" makes the product look bad.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
HA HA HA.
Because in reality, sticking your hand down a garbage disposal is PERFECTLY SAFE.
Oh my God!
Emerson's suit claims the scene "casts the disposer in an unsavory light, irreparably tarnishing the product" by suggesting that serious injuries will result "in the event consumers were to accidentally insert their hand into one."
Is he...I mean, is he seriously insinuating that serious injuries will NOT result if a consumer inserted his hand into one?

Well, if your garbage disposal is crap, then it's safe. Maybe that's the angle that'd work better for them.
