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.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

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.

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.

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

Art Crawl!!!
I totally didn't recognize Leonard Roberts. . . and I'd JUST seen him in Smallville!

suggesting that serious injuries will result "in the event consumers were to accidentally insert their hand into one."
Dude, have they ever dropped a utensil down one? I've shredded a wooden spoon and completely spaghettied a fork. Ain't no way you stick your hand in and expect to retain wholly functional hand.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Her hand is growing back...
Invincible!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
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?
Yeah, I agree that the scene of Claire and her friend in the hallway was an odd thing for him to paint. I could have bought it as a panel in a comic book, but as a full-on canvas painting, it made no sense, except as a cool transition.
I continue to find Heroes alternately interesting and boring, even both at the same time. Hopefully it'll pick up once the characters start meeting up with each other. There were a few lines that were particularly eye-rolly last night, but now I can't remember them. Oh, I appreciated that Stripper Mom's superpowers apparently include the ability to dig a grave in the full sunlight of the Nevada desert without breaking a sweat. That's a power I'd like to have!
I didn't recognize Leonard Roberts either! Weird -- that's usually something I'm good at. Anyone know where I could find a screenshot?
Also, I'm surprised there wasn't more discussion of last Friday's Doctor Who. Come on, people, it had ninja monks and alien werewolves and Queen Victoria and the setup for Torchwood and David Tennant speaking in his Scottish accent! It's like I don't even know who you are anymore.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When does Torchwood start in the UK?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
October 21 is the word. From...sumi, I think. Someone answered when I asked a few weeks ago.

Just out of curiosity, exactly how many bodies do you have in the trunk of your car waiting to be buried?

I do give them credit for her starting to dig in the middle of the night and not finishing until well into the morning. So often on TV gravedigging seems to be a ten minute job.
I agree she didn't look like someone who'd been up all night digging in the desert, though.
