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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Torchwood:

Wow, Ianto totally offered to have kinky stopwatch sex. Hello.

I felt like this week, they finally got the emotional feel of it right. The plot was still a bit of a stretch -- Susie set up all of these elaborate plans on the theory that she'd die and they'd not only bring her back, they'd find a way to keep her alive? But for once, at the end, I wasn't rolling my eyes. I loved the way Jack shot Susie without a moment of hesitation, then shot her again and again. And I *loved* Ianto's observation about gloves coming in pairs.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I definitely think Eden disabled whatever the blocking mechanism was when she tapped out whatever on the security panel.

Ooh, good point.

Also, as everyone in the vision is running away from him, Nathan steps up and confronts him. ??? Is Nathan the only one who can save/stop him from going nuclear?

If Peter's about to go kablooey, Nathan might be the one who can prevent him from blowing up everyone else by getting him far, far away.

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

Am I the only one who got Nathan-as-a-bad-guy vibes from the flashforward?

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

Nope, Scola. Of course, Nathan's always pretty sketchy, so it's hard to tell.

Dana is me re: Torchwood. Which should come as no surprise.

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

Am I the only one who got Nathan-as-a-bad-guy vibes from the flashforward?

No, but then, I think that scene can be interpreted a number of ways.

If Peter's about to go kablooey, Nathan might be the one who can prevent him from blowing up everyone else by getting him far, far away.

oooh, good one. This saves the city/world, but they both die as a result. Which could explain the grim expression on Nathan's face. He can't save his brother, and in one last grand acceptance of his powers, he'll also sacrifice himself to save others.

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

A fun interview with a couple of writers from Heroes from Comic Book Resources: [link] (Note that they talk about who the Big Casting Spoiler from Spoiler Light is supposed to be about 2/3 way down on the interview.)

But, if you look at the bulk of the names on the show… Isaac. Matt. Peter. Gabriel. Micah. You might see a connection – or you might see a connection that we didn’t see.

Heh. Did they deliberately pick all those names from The Bible? I doubt that the names have deeper meanings, but this will probably get people speculating all the same.
