How often do you hear about football practice bystanders having their heads knocked all the way round?
Yeah, that bugged me, too. She seems to get into more trouble than Dawn Summers.
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can buy that the same thing that makes her heal makes her loose, if you know what I mean. Nothing in her body should be brittle, so her head must be swinging around all the damn time. She probably dislocates stuff in her sleep.

It turns out, though, that GE, the parent company of NBC/Universal, also makes garbage disposals. I would imagine that their competition would be a little chuffed.
