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.
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.
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.
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.
You mean the blades don't gently massage discarded food into manageably small pieces?
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.
I note in the opening narration, it says the cheerleader is 'invincible' which must be the new term for 'fatal accident-prone'.
Thing is, invincible makes me think of Superman. Her powers are closer to Wolverine's, in that she gets grievously wounded/"killed" and then heals.
Yeah, methinks the marketing people are the ones brandying the term "invincible" around, because that means "unable to be defeated."
Hmmm ... maybe knowing you can't be harmed makes you mroe rpone to accidents.
