Hey, evil dead, you're in my seat.

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.

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.

Maybe a mix of all three. I so wanted, during the locker door chucking scene, for Peter to unconsciously chuck one back at Sylar.

I wonder if the painting Isaac made is of nukeboy detonating.

If Hiro disappeared from the past 4 weeks ago, after spending 5 months in it, I wonder if maybe there's a limit on how long he can stay in one time stream before having to return to his own. Or maybe he caused a "rift" and that's why he 1) hasn't returned to Ando yet and 2) left the past before he could save Charlie.

I figure he's got to cause at least a minor rift at some point so future!Hiro knows what they are and what risks causing them.

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

My love for that scene is now tempered by the fact that Jackie later saved Claire's life by telling her to run for it. It was a selfless act.

There is that, and I thought that was a nice touch too, especially because Jackie was being such a bitch just before that. The punch just emphasized Claire's embrace of her outsiderdom so much, it wasn't really who she punched but the why of it that made me go "YEAH!"

I so wanted, during the locker door chucking scene, for Peter to unconsciously chuck one back at Sylar.

That would have been excellent. Though maybe he can only retain one power at a time, and maybe he keeps it until he uses it?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I wonder if the painting Isaac made is of nukeboy detonating.

It's been posited. Also, if you think about it, Claire's the only one who could probably survive getting close to him. Thus, no Claire, no saving the world.

(And sidebar, but what kind of a high school has an amphitheater like that? I just find it a little odd, but whatever.)

Everything's big in Texas.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Snerk. Not in Odessa, unless you count the water towers. It's a very cool set, though.

Well, I'm off to dream of pretty, pretty Mohinder. Do y'all think that his meeting with the little boy actually happened or was it all just part of his dream walking with the kid? At first, I thought it was real, but then when the same scene repeated between his colleague and Papa Suresh, I kind of figured that the whole thing was a dream. Maybe the little boy is young Papa Suresh reaching back from the great beyond.

I was referring to the painting he made tonight. It looked like a man on fire or made of fire or something. I think we've all agreed that nukeboy is the one who destroys New York, I was just speculating what Isaac's new painting meant.

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

Godferdamn. My TiVo copy was for crap, for some reason. Can someone give me the gist of: Claire's convo with her dad at the end, Pixie's convo with Sylar (who was recognisably the actor cast, if you know it's him), the six month earlier bit in the cafe, and the preview for next week (I did catch the tombstone which explains why ikiN has such a mundane name--it's not like she got to choose it)?

I'm glad that Peter didn't flip back the locker doors, somehow. I'm guessing he remembered the power thing during the second confrontation, but there were the previous reception issues, so I can't be sure.

Missed Jackie telling Claire to run. Hmm. Jackie sure deserved the punch at the time, and I agree it was cool how the perfectly in character point for them way back when bore fruit tonight.

I do remember thinking the pictures were a little cartoony, so how could you be sure who was who...but it never crossed my mind that the one pic was Jackie and not Claire.

That future wasn't changed right? Just the bits after Peter arrived, I assumed. I got a little shiver from seeing Mr. Bennett's shadow cast on the stairs just like one of those paintings.

In some strange way I like Nathan obscuring the painting. He's not nice, but like Mr. Bennett wrt to Claire, he has no intention of being selfish.

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

Pixie's convo with Sylar (who was recognisably the actor cast, if you know it's him)

Really? Is it who IMDb says it is?? Because I thought that was a rumor, and it didn't look like him to me.
