'Time Bomb'
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
t waves the obligatory Portmanteaux Are Evil, m'Kay? banner
Not that I have any strong feelings about the subject or anything.
Actually, I think I have another puke-worthy fannish trend I hate more than the portmanteaux. The whole "keeper of ____ " crap, like "keeper of Jack Carter's boots" or "keeper of Daniel's new glasses" or "Sheppard's hair" or whatever-the-fuck. I know we're all about fannish appropriation and all, but whenever I see one of those in a sig-line, I want to bash someone's kneecap with a crowbar.
(Why, no. I've never been a 14-year-old.)
More on topic: if I wanted to talk about Life on Mars, would I do it here or over at the Natter?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've never seen this "keeper of" thing and have no idea what it means.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The whole "keeper of ____ " crap
I don't even know what this is. Of course, I limit my fannish online time to here.

OMG, is that still around? Puke is right.
Life on Mars
Seems like it would fit in okay here, but I hesitate to say, given the current Lightbulbs discussion.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
LoM has been brought up here before. I wish I were caught up watching it -- I think I have 2 eps sitting on the Tivo right now.

I suspect it will never die, although LJ might be helping it along. It was really tedious when fannish discussion was largely on message boards and mailing lists, and you had to see "Keeper of Blair's curly hair!!! Keeper of Jim's elliptical machine!!!" in someone's sig every single time they posted.

It's when some 12-year-old girl thinks, for example, Jensen Ackles from Supernatural is totally hot, (a sentiment I have no issues with) then disclares that she "claims" a part of his anatomy or the character paraphernalia, like Dean's boots or his left pinky or his ingrown toenail or whatever. Then whenever the said person posts on a message board, there is a 10 line sig/tag underneath each post listing all the crap she has claimed. I thought this died out, but the other day, I've run into this on a message board that's actually populated by alleged grown-ups. One weeps for humanity.
Seems like it would fit in okay here, but I hesitate to say, given the current Lightbulbs discussion.
I think it fits well with the spirit of the Box Set (buddy cop setting, slashy, some fantastic elements, etc) but I don't know if anyone else is watching/wanting to discuss the show, so I thought I'd ask.

Art Crawl!!!
Buddy cop/slashy = Due South - yes?
ION, the folks who brought us Finding Serenity are now bringing us So Say We All - a collection of BSG essays.

Yep! And Jacob (TWoP recapper) has an essay in it!
