Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Host ,'Why We Fight'


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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And then we closed on a shot of Niki bleeding out on her bedroom floor

Oh, that's why people are talking about her being injured. Stupid running long.

Art Crawl!!!

All the eps have been up but Comcast's numbering is off: they counted the first two hours as 1 and went on from there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I didn't notice she was bleeding -- I thought she'd just been knocked unconscious.

What is even happening?

Dana, this episode ("Better Halves") is repeating on Sci-Fi on 11/3 and 11/6 at 7:00pm, Eastern.

I saw Niki lying on the floor helpless (and DL scooping a horrified Micah out of there), but saw no bleeding.

I saw Cheer Dad walk the actor-parents to the car, and Cheer Mom tell Claire about the other time they tried to find her bio parents.

I saw Eden talking to Cheer Dad. I then saw her showing up at Isaac's, right after he uncovered the insignia on one of his paintings. My recording cut out right as she was saying she was an admirer of his work.

I would not be surprised to have Niki dead until Hiro changes things.

They put up the preview for ep 3, but never put up the episode itself. I think I'll call them and see if I can find out if they're ever going to put it up, since I've been using the OnDemand versions to tape.

So weird: I got ep 3.

Punishingly Intricate

They put up the preview for ep 3, but never put up the episode itself.

I thought that's what my Comcast OnDemand was going to do too but they finally put up the actual ep on Monday night.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of that.

Interesting question: was Peter unaffected by the stopped time on the train because of his Rogue-ish abilities, or could it be that anyone with powers would be imune to Hiro stopping time? The former seems more likely, but the latter could be interesting if Hiro tries for a do-over and runs into ikiN.

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

was Peter unaffected by the stopped time on the train because of his Rogue-ish abilities

That's what I assumed. If not, why not just go back and warn the cheerleader herself?

I think it's the former. That said, I agree it would be interesting. We don't really know Mirror!Niki's (I can't do ikiN, I just can't, because it makes me think of 'other kin' or 'otherkin' or whatever, and I'm not even sure what otherkin are, except I think it has to do with one of those things a lot of Buffistas know about and I don't, and am happy that way) limits.

Were there any previews broadcast?
