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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I know they used the hybrid baby blood to cure Laura's cancer but is she still..er..taking it???

I think that's meant in the sense that she's living due to the hybrid baby--that she has a life at all because of the hybrid baby. Not that she's continually doing so.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

We didn't see the other flying scene

That was the rooftop scene.

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.

He drew the rooftop scene while in the hospital. I didn't really pick up on the significance of that at first.

Ah. I missed that.

yeah, but the thing that takes time is the practice. If he seems to pick up everything perfectly the first time he tries it, he won't have any problem finding teachers.

I suppose. But it's really easy to practice wrong, especially when you're first starting. So he would have to be very careful. I took a 12 week class, practiced on my own, and then when I took the same class a year later realized I'd been doing some things wrong and it's taking me forever to break those bad habits. Granted, Hiro doesn't have to take quite so long between lessons but it's not as simple as "Go to class for a week, practice for a month outside of time, go to class for a week, practice for a month outside time, etc."

On the other hand, since he's not likely to get in a sword fight, just learning how to cut properly without damaging the sword or lopping his foot off might be all he really needs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Claire in the "Graphic Novel" seems a lot more interesting than the character in the TV show.

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

Hiro doesn't need a teacher outside linear time. He can spend five years practicing sword fighting and English and then jump right back to 2006 and keep going.

Colin's costars are Lara Flynn Boyle and Mark-Paul Gosselaar.

Now I'll be able to evaluate the MPG CF resemblance nice and close.

The ever since and the vampire statement sure make it seem like the writer is describing a continuous process.

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

Really? I just read it, and I got pretty much the same vibe. But then, I like Claire. I love that she has such a keen grasp of her situation, and that she obviously has a lot of conflict between being fascinated by it and aware that it makes her "a freak or a lab rat."

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Claire's eyes were doing the cloudy thing when she was "dead".

That's not unnatural when someone is dead.

If the eyes remain open after death, a thin film forms on the surface. The potassium content from the breakdown of red blood cells enters the eyes and within two to three hours, they look cloudy.

I think that her dead cloudy eyes were different than Isaac's blind cloudy eyes.

Punishingly Intricate

The ever since and the vampire statement sure make it seem like the writer is describing a continuous process.

Seriously! And NOOOOOOO if that's true. I mean I dig the moral ambiguity even with a character I love like Laura but that would be too much.

??? Do we know that's happening? I know they used the hybrid baby blood to cure Laura's cancer but is she still..er..taking it??? I don't remember that at all.

We haven't seen any evidence of Roslin still needing the baby's blood. The initial injection cured her cancer. We haven't heard any discussion since of the baby's blood or her cancer. Roslin is so determined about keeping the baby away from the Cylons because it's a hybrid and they want it, not because it's keeping her alive.

Well, except for the fact the world is going to be destroyed in 5 weeks. He'd have to jump to an alternate timeline where the world wasn't destroyed, train for 5 years and then jump back to keep the world from being destroyed.
