'Soul Purpose'
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.

Matt, if that's your problem, I'd still suggest giving the ep a try, if it's not much effort for you.
and helpless due to timidity or hypochondria rather than actual physical limitations
You don't consider OCD an actual physical limitation?
Gotcha. I think I like the actor enough that I'm predisposed to like his characters - I found Carl sympathetic.
If you suddenly developed the ability to heal and regenerate yourself with your mind, would your existing scar tissue immediately revert, or would you have to specifically think all your scars away?
or would you have to specifically think all your scars away?
