Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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 am the fly who dreams of the spider

I took it to mean that Pixie had been some wasted, drug-addled lowlife one pill/drink/snort/needle away from the gutter, and Claire's dad found her, cleaned her up, and showed her how to use her powers (possibly showed her how to use them without whatever she was damaging her life with, just like she promised Isaac she'd do with him)

Then again, I watched a bad copy on an old tape and the volume was all muffled and I may have misheard the few tidbits dropped.

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

I want to know how Glasses Guy's organization can find these people, and what that has to do with Mohinder's father's research. I also really hoping that Glasses Guy's organization is NOT an evil conspiracy, because I am so sick of those.

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

They are a good conspiracy. I call them OWI (Organization Without Initials).

I wonder if OWI is sort of a Switzerland, neutral, "we're just looking" organization for the sake of curiosity or science or something, because right now I can't figure an angle. Pixie did say that they weren't going to let the explosion in the floor mural happen, but I think she was just saying that to pacify him, because none of their actions so far have seemed to go anywhere. It seems to be all catch and release.

Granted, Claire's imminent danger is making this personal for Daddy.

And maybe I'm a little glad and relieved that their game isn't immediately transparent, because I think the writers have something good up their sleaves. Unlike another show (that will remain nameless) where I doubt that the writers know what the game is that they hint at and then contradict...

OK, because I read the comics whitefont, I would now like to know what Hyde did to the Invisible Man . In an I don't but I do kind of way.

Now I'm going to rewatch last night's Heroes ep.

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

Was it explicitly stated that the MBG is the Haitian? I know it's unlikely and messy if he isn't, but I was still wondering.

Yeah, me too. It's clear they know where they're going, and they're deliberately moving pieces around to get there.

No one has actually confirmed it, no.

Jen, Hyde ah... loved him to death.

Oh, my.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Jen, to be fair he also trashed him within an inch of his life before the rape (and couldn't see exactly how much damage he was doing, nor did he care). But I think the rape probably...sealed the deal, so to speak.

Also, he was returning a favor the Invisible man had visited on Mina Harker, although I'm sure he enjoyed it on it's own terms.
