That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

"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.

That is some twisted stuff, that is.

Yes, well it plays out even more so.

See, the Invisible man's blood remains invisible until he's actually dead, so Hyde has sat down to a nice, polite dinner with Quartermain and Capt. Nemo when things become much, much clearer.

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

Less clear, actually...

All is well that ends in pizza.

Rewatching Heroes. Two notes.

1. When Hiro says "If I'm too scared to use my powers, then I don't deserve them," He looks more like Future!Hiro.

2. Claire thinks that banner is big? Not so much. Schools, churches and civic organizations routinely use paper three+ times that wide for banners, table covers and misc.

Yes, well it plays out even more so.

That part reminds me of a scene in the movie Fatal Vision, where the parents of the murdered wife (or maybe the suspect husband) go to sleep in the master bedroom after the crime scene there has been investigated - everything looks all tidy, but when they turn out the lights to go to sleep, it slowly gets sort of glowy green, and the camera pulls back as they both open their eyes to see that luminol has illuminated huge swaths of bloodstains all over the walls and carpets.

I don't know how realistic it was, but it was super creepy.
