On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

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

Don't forget, Simone is involved (in love?) with Peter, so it actually seems appropriate that she's there.

Also, she's the daughter of a man who may have had powers as well.

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

Manchild will have director/actor Kevin Smith in a lead role.

I'm a KS fan generally, but that sounds just dreadful.

Is anyone else listening to the BSG roundtable podcast? I'm only about 2/3 of the way through, but it is cracking my shit up. (Spoilerphobes will want to avoid it, since one of the actors is a guest star from the last 3 eps of the season, and while they haven't yet mentioned any specific plot points, they do talk some about who his character is, and which other actors he has scenes with.)

Spoiler ho's, get thee to the podcast, for it is marvelous stuff.

Trouble is, The Office is pretty much the only one that has made it past a few episodes, so the track record is quite abysmal.

Well, in recent memory. But Sanford and Son is still a staple in syndication.

Red Dwarf was at one point attempted.

Crashed and burned before even being aired, but it was attempted.

Also, she's the daughter of a man who may have had powers as well.

Too true! I finally watched last night. Nathan looked exceedingly creepy during Peter's vision.

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

And All in the Family, Three's Company, etc...

If they try to export My Hero, I'm pushing for a declaration of war.

'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"

Fawlty Towers also had a pilot so bad that it's rumored that all involved committed suicide soon after.

. . . (Okay, so I rumored it just now. But it was supposed to be truly wretched.)

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

Simone's dad might have had powers? I'm blanking on this.

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

Simone's dad might have had powers? I'm blanking on this.

I think people have speculated that he could be some sort of dreamwalker like the little Indian kid, since Peter had that vision about him before his death.

Hmm. Now that Peter's dreamt about Ando and Simone (eta: and Mohinder?), is that still extant?
