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.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have a wacky theory about Niki/Jessica.

One of the things they have shown us is that Syler can somehow absorb powers from the brains of his victims.

What if Jessica and Niki were supposed to be powerful twins?

It would be interesting if, in a moment of self-preservation on the part of Jessica's brain, it downloaded itself into Niki's brain. (Paging Dr. McCoy!)

And? because it had to fight it's way to the surface (See Jonas Venture, Jr.), plus the trauma of dying and the transfer? It came out wrong.

or even that Jessica was the stronger personality force of the two of them, and that's who Niki "channels" when she needs to be strong. Not What Would Buffy Do, but What Would Jessica Do?

She now has the strength of a grown woman and a little kid!

What is even happening?

Daniel, I think your theory is as likely to be right as anything else. I think there really is some actual Jessica in Niki. I don't think she's just a person with MPD, who's grown super-powers along the way. I think this, because of how Micah sees Niki-as-Jessica as a different person.

I wonder why Not!Forrest didn't react when Micah told him that the woman who is not his mom is named Jessica?

I still haven't seen the whole episode, but when they flashed back to Niki and DL at Jessica's grave, it made me wonder the same thing, Vortex.
