I never watched Alias, so I wasn't weirded out. :)
Also, you don't have to whitefont in here once the episode airs.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Thoughts on Heroes:
So it seems the Horn-Rimmed Glasses Man (AKA Mr. Cheerleader's Dad) is tagging the supers. Still betting he's in the "Not Totally Evil" category, although I suppose we'll find out some next episode.
My wife totally called that the Cop's partner was banging his wife.
Hiro and D.L. saving people out in the desert was nice. Really, the way this story's set up, they don't get many chances to actually be heroic, and D.L. it seems is more and more unambiguously a good guy. (And Jessica is a lame name for an evil alter ego. She'll always be ikiN to me.)
More seems to revolve around Linderman and his evil chocolates machinations as it does Mr. Cheerleader's Dad and Sylar.
My wife thinks the new super they've found will be the bomb that blows up New York. I think she's right.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Oh, dear heavens. I was looking up something about CKR, and I just learned that he was the original choice for Krycek on "The X-Files."
That would have been interesting.

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.

I was thinking the same thing. It would explain why the scene with the nuke in a van was removed from the pilot.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Anne, that's interesting. I can't quite pull him up as "guy in suit", in my head. Doesn't compute.
eta: Heroes was, IMO, an exercise in, "yes, and this is news how?"

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I just learned that he was the original choice for Krycek on "The X-Files."
You know, I concur. Although he could pull off later slept-in-my-clothes Krycek, I don't know whether I'd buy him as fresh-faced Evil. The whole point of when Krycek was introduced was that he was all puppy dog and "Can I go collect the purple goo? Can I, can I, huh huh huh??"
Which was funny, because you could tell from the start he was a spy, but there are spies and then there are opportunistic murderers, you know? The Krycek they ended up with, it was really shocking when he killed that tram operator. Which was coooool.
(CKR was in one episode of XF, as some minor character in S1. XF was the original Canadian actor recycling bin, though.)

For me, Heroes was an exercise in "you can't spend five minutes on the internet learning about radiation?"

It's comic book radiation, though. It's the same principle as Magneto's magnetism.

Ah, yes. Comic book world, were they have "anti-radiation" pills and measure radiation exposure in curies.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
That's the version where it's easier to freeze a robot by forming a vortex that draws down subzero rarified air from the frickin' stratosphere than to just pick it up and drop it, right?
