Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I fell asleep so I've yet to see the recorded episode. Clearly, I need to kick DH off the tv since he's just watching the World Series of Poker.

Watch & Post is so much more enticing with Colin *right* here!

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

Yes, it worked! You didn't even need my instructions.

And now chimps!

Got it.

you can't play with the chimps. They are actually really dangerous. Apparently if they put one arm on your chest and grab your wrist with the other, they can rip your arm off without much trouble. And you can't get them too excited or they start destroying the sets by pulling the walls down and tearing everything a part. Having said that, yes I went in and tried to play iwht them. They weren't into it and then one smiled and I got scared and left.

More :

As I think back, there was only one chimp in that room. But he was very intimidating in his diapers and poker faced stare....

We use the same rules of approach with Ed Quinn.

Wow. I didn't realize that chimps used on a set would still be that unpredictable. I've studied chimps - they were pretty calm when they were with the humans they knew and trusted, but yeah, in unfamiliar surroundings, probably not so calm.

Still cool though.

Ha! Now I'm picturing Ed Quinn in a diaper and a poker-faced stare.

Don't tell him.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I believe there is a whitefont exemption around here for anything even peripherally involving monkeys. Monkeys! And yes, chimps count for the purposes of the exemption. Monkey!

Also, yay Toronto. Haven't been in way too long.

Yeah I think it's because of all the lights, the actors yelling at each other in the scene and the AD yelling "hurry up". And then the set tension and they - I'm told - start to freak out a bit.

Especially when people then start to approach them like they are little dolls.

But I'm just repeating stuff I'm told by the trainer.

Because if you didn't he'd sic a chimp on you?

The Exec. Andrew Cosby insisted on "monkeys" in the episode when the idea was pitched.
