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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I was confused by that, too. We saw Matt "hear" that little girl's thoughts in Sylar's victims house before he ever got snatched by BGM and the Haitian.

Damn, that was good show. What was on those clippings that Mohinder found about SANJOG, Iyer? Something about continuing to learn in dreams? I guess I will have to watch it again.

And I love Mohinder, even if his story has been kinda slow up to this point. So. much. pretty.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, I wasn't sure -- but I was sure that it would be Syler.

What I don't get about Pixie Girl is why she couldn't use her power to loosen Isaac's inhibitions about doing those pre-cog paintings w/o using drugs. I mean, wouldn't that be more direct?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I just don't get what her power is . . . just really persuasive or is it some kind of mind control? And why didn't Isaac just give up Peter when BGM was trying to persuade him to go back on the smack? For all Isaac knows, those folks have been nothing but nice to him, helped him get clean, promised to help him learn how to tap into his powers without drugs. Why didn't he just say, "Hey, I know another way that we can do this. There's this guy. Very pretty, really annoying hair."

I cannot wait for next week.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Evil Pixie = The Pusher.

Isaac strikes me as talented, but kind of dumb. Also, Senor Contrivance dictates that Isaac not mention Peter until next week.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Maybe Isaac didn't mention Peter because he still doesn't entirely trust the mysterious benefactors, and he didn't want to put Peter in a dangerous sitch.

Maybe he's just brainfuzzled from coming off the smack.

Re: Torchwood 1.05

OMGWTF FAIRIES BBQ

Seriously, there was something off about this ep. I'm not loving anyone in it except for Jack. And there were times when he didn't feel right. I loved that he did what he could to keep the vow he made with Estelle. I love that we are given glimpses into his backstory. And I love the idea that he has lived through a fair bit of time. Wouldn't it be great to know when and how he hitched a ride back in time from post Game Station Earth?

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

What I would like to know (re: Torchwood) is whether Captain Jack was already immortal when he met and made his promise to Estelle or whether he met the Doctor later? Because it's OK swearing to be with somebody until death do you part if you're not the one who's going to be doing the dying... .

But I did like the lovely affection between Jack and Estelle; it was clear that he still loved her despite her age, and she knew it was him .

But what's up with Soldier Jack throughout the ages? WW2, Lahore 1900s? Was this before or after the Doctor? Because he was a conman from the future who just happened to end up in 1941 originally, wasn't he ?

I liked the story, liked the Scary Little Girl (TM). Though the ending was a bit confusing, yes. But Shirtless! Captain Jack is always good .

Our wings are not tired.

Why do I keep reading here when I have yet to watch the episodes. Crack it is.

And I love Mohinder, even if his story has been kinda slow up to this point. So. much. pretty.

Yes. This.

Fiona, about Torchwood:

I like the idea that Jack has a few more decades under his belt than however much time he spent cleaning up after the Daleks in PotW then jumping back in time to join Torchwood in early 21st century Cardiff. For his sake, and for the creep factor, I really hope it does not turn out that he has been kicking around looking for the Doctor for centuries.

As for his personal timeline - it feels to me as if the incident in Lahore came after he became immortal. He did not show any surprise that he was still alive after his men were killed.
