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.

What is even happening?

Now I want to read a comic book about a superhero called "Cockblocker".
When it makes it to film, can we agree to overlook his turn as the Bats, and have George Clooney play the role?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now I want to read a comic book about a superhero called "Cockblocker".

Wasn't that Mark Hamill's character in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back?

I was expecting us to find out that the waitress (what the frell is it with this show and taking forever to learn anyone's name) had died of the anyeurism rather than being murdered

Me too.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The waitress's name was Charlie. (I'm really sorry she died, too, short time to get to know a good character -- and poor Hiro!)

I guess we can start calling Syler "Watchman" now, huh?

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.

Kalshane, you were totally 100% right. Your getting psyched out by my doubt for an episode does not count.

Thanks. I was so happy to have got it right last night.

The Haitian Sensation appears to be able to dampen the effect of her powers. In addition to mindwiping people.

Yeah. We saw that with Matt in the bar, and then later when Mr. Bennet had him on the exam table. Though Matt was eventually able to read Claire's name in Mr. Bennet's mind, which means Haitian guy can only dampen, not completely block.

Which is still scary. If Sylar manages to get loose and de-brain Haitian guy in the process, he'd be completely unstoppable. He'd be able to dampen the powers of others, making it that much easier to kill them and steal their powers, and then he could mind-wipe any trace of him (and possibly even the victim) being there. Yikes.

Wasn't that Mark Hamill's character in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back?

Cocknocker, actually.

There's a waste of memory space. (The name, not the movie.)

So I'm listening to my iPod on shuffle, and it occurred to me that someone could make a wicked wrong Dean Winchester vid to "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" by Eartha Kitt.

Huh.

Yeah. You're right.

In a wrong kind of way.

I love being right in the wrong way. It's strangely satisfying, like happily chowing down on some comestible your dinner companion loudly finds revolting.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Now I want to read a comic book about a superhero called "Cockblocker".
When it makes it to film, can we agree to overlook his turn as the Bats, and have George Clooney play the role?
Yes, please.

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

I've realised that my main disappointment with Torchwood is its failure to illustrate the most interesting part of the Jack voiceover at the beginning of each episode.

Torchwood. Outside the government, beyond the police. Tracking down alien life on earth, arming the human race against the future. The 21st century is when everything changes, and you've gotta be ready.

I'm just not feeling that last part. I should be feeling it.

That having been said, this week's ep was okay. I'm disappointed that Tosh's crush was on Owen, and disappointed that Gwen's banging the nasty man. I'm also weirded out by Gwen's calm acceptance of her wrongdoing, and that she's not going to stop.

Actually, the more I think about the ep, the more it weirds me out. They're painting Jack as some hard core oddity, aren't they? Time for his POV episode.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jack and his whole came back wrong thing is by far the most interesting aspect of the show for me, and they're still at the "dropping hints" stage.

I'm torn on Gwen and Owen. I feel like I'm more interested in the pair than I should be and less interested than the show wants me to be.
