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.

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

It really wasn't just about the bank robbery, it was about the characters we met there.

I never got the impression that they sold it as a LOST clone (other than it being lumped in with all the arc-y shows this year), but they definitely sold it as "the show about the bank robbery" which is why I suspect people didn't tune in.

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

And I'm happy that we at least got to find out what Jeremy did.

That was a good scene.

I never got the impression that they sold it as a LOST clone (other than it being lumped in with all the arc-y shows this year),

They sold it as following the Lost formula of "information about a central Mysterious Event will be doled out over the course of the season in very small, very annoying doses and nothing else of import will happen, ever."

I'd missed that The Nine had officially been cancelled.

Technically, it hasn't -- it's on the same kind of "hiatus" that Karen Sisco was put on. Three years ago.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Man, Karen Sisco. That was a great show. Stupid network and their trigger happy fingers.

I still remember the bit about "our friend from Chicago" and the duplicate shots of the plane flying overhead of two different hitmen. And Karen coming back to an empty apartment all banged up from a chase, then downing a glass of scotch in the dark. That show had such style.

I've watched a handful of episodes of The Nine and thought it was quite good. Also, Tim Daly is hot like burning and really should be on the show that doesn't get its promising legs cut off from undernetah. First Eyes and now this? Poor thing.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

And they were great characters, and I'm very cranky that it got canceled when it did. They could have at least let it run through the full 14 and given the writers time to tie up some of the loose ends.

WORD.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They could have at least let it run through the full 14 and given the writers time to tie up some of the loose ends.

NBC/Universal is doing that with Kidnapped. It makes a lot of sense, especially if you're going to sell a DVD boxed set.

*sigh* I'd almost forgotten about her. Another one that they should DVD but they haven't.

I'd missed that The Nine had officially been cancelled.

Aww, and just when it was starting to grow on me.

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who

Man, Karen Sisco. That was a great show. Stupid network and their trigger happy fingers.

At least it's being shown in syndication. Caught an episode a couple of weeks ago on one of the myriad cable channels my service provider offers.

I don't mind if a ton of folks watch it and it's popular. Kinda sucks when you have a shiney cool show and they don't advertise it and cancel it after one season

Heh. Couldn't agree more. I was being, er, understated in my glee - for effect. I am quite thrilled that Heroes is hugely popular. Gives me a warm fuzzy, in fact.

The evil is this way?

And I'm happy that we at least got to find out what Jeremy did.

What was it? I missed a couple of episodes of "The Nine" and now it looks like they'll be no reruns to catch up.
