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 am the fly who dreams of the spider

costuming: Was that outfit (brownish trenchcoat) in the vision something typical of Peter? Suddenly had this crazy idea that Peter absorbs all of Sylar (who perhaps has absorbed Ted), or that Sylar consumes Peter's soul, and he's trapped inside. I know, I know *puts down crack pipe*

Also, we definitely first see Peter start to cough when Mr. Bennet is out of sight but very close to his room, so I'm really starting to wonder if this idea that Mr. Bennet(t?) is making him sick (doing something to try and take Peter out of the equation) has some merit.

Cuz I don't buy that he's internally injured and never got a chance to heal, and I just don't think he had enough exposure to different powers to overload/get sick.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

But, before, when Peter dreamed that he could fly, he couldn't, though, not as much as he dreamed he could. It was really more Nathan, and I think this may be the same thing, maybe.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

The dream with Simone's dad seemed like a combination of himself, Nathan, and Simone, the things that were said and done. So, yeah, maybe this is more of the same.

BREATHE, Peter!

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.

Pretty sure he was wearing a brown trenchcoat in the pilot. It's what he's wearing in Isaac's painting of him flying/falling.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Since the original co-starred ASH, I thought I might mention here that yet another UK show is getting remade in the US. Manchild will have director/actor Kevin Smith in a lead role.

What is even happening?

And Suresh is very close to Suraj, which means sun. But, ah, Suresh looks to be synonymous with Indra. Otherwise known as the Destroyer.

Haaaaaaa. Mohin means attractive.

I thought I found Mohinder was synonymous with Indra, earlier. Tricksy Indians. Tricksy Google. Tricksy brain.

eta...

Tricksy Polter-Cow.

This site [link] equates Mohinder with Indra (which makes more sense, soundwise).

It says Suresh = Ruler of the Gods [link]

Art Crawl!!!

Peter was wearing a trenchcoat when he was at Homecoming.

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

Hokay. Here's what's left that I don't remember seeing anyone mention:

  • Why is Claire apologising to Peter in the vision?
  • Why is Simone in the vision? She's the only unpowered (apparently) one there, right? Wait--was Ando there?

I adore Hiro.

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

No! Not another one! When is Hollywood going to learn that (with the exception of a few of us) Americans don't appreciate the irony and subtle humor that pervades most British comedy. Those of us that do get it are much happier watching the originals on BBC America. Even in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre, shows like Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and H2G2 would lose much of their impact and quirkiness if you stripped them of their essential Britishness. I don't even want to think about a fully Americanized version of Harry Potter.
