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.
Anyone have any suggestions to get me out of the flail loop and into actually writing up those thoughts?
I'm sorry. I can't even stop myself from flailing about how Dean+Impala+J-Turn=HOT LIKE BURNING, so I hardly can offer advice on how to handle the emotional content or thoughts on canon.
So I only recently started watching SPN (what with ony recently getting the channel and so forth), but I just wanted to post that right when Master Sargeant got stabbed by Shoulda Killed 'Im, my phone rang. I jumped rather significantly. And then (you know, right after the scene where everyone in the whole town had disappeared), although I could see on the caller id that it was my SO, the phone just sat there, silent.
I was freaked.
Turned out he was just putting it on speakerphone, but man!
I was actually surprised when the bad guy turned out to be the guy Dean didn't kill. I was so thinking it was the doctor. Though as soon as Dwayne said he had to make a call, I knew what was about to happen. Nice call-back to last season, there.

As far as I've managed to get, and this was pre-episode, at the concert Jilli and I were at last night, is to map the Winchesters to Blood (Dean), Love (John), and Rhetoric (Sam) based on the discussion in here about family units and John's sacrifice in IMToD. (It's so weird to think I didn't watch the show yet then. That was about two days before I got into it.)
And I think that really, really only makes sense in my head.
Weren't they both getting a painful feedback sound/feeling though?
Well, they were both looking into mirrors facing mirrors, with each one being a mirror.
The Jimmy/Chloe was very cute on Smallville.
Wow. Jane Espenson got to kill CAT.
That rocked.
Umm, are there 4 branches (divisions? wings?) of the Air Group?
And I thought that the Doctor was very enjoyable.
Dr. Where?
and
Finally! Kat is dead Kat gets the heroic exit she deserves
Except for her ever so annoying scenes, I really enjoyed much of this ep, I got a great, tense "33" vibe, thought HotDog was gonna buy it there (but I guess they had to save that heroic gesture for Kat, *fbpt*), and yes, as much as I couldn't stand
her
and the writer's need to drag up yet another "Oh I'm so guilty! I coulda been party to the Cylon infiltration of the Colonies" (and WTF with Kara's hashing up old grudges? Is she still doing that "wanting to tear everyone's eyes out" thing?) I still got a little weepy near the end. But then Adama putting Kat's name in the CAG position kinda irked. It seemed too... special? Sappy? Is my hate for her flavoring this episode like that "too much dill" incident I had back in highschool?
eta:
ah, I forgot. JE being said writer would explain the ending...
Well, I think so.
Of course, we could have had backstory on what things were like when Cat was CAG during the New Caprica backstory last week but you know, the good stuff just didn't fit.
(I guess Helo's back to being a pilot.)
I even forgot that Kat had ever
been
CAG!
Fifth looks hot as a former drug runner. All scruffy and stuff. Nice.
I think I enjoyed the ep. Kat was never a favorite of mine, so I'm not especially pained that she's gone. Starbuck's behavior is still sort of mysterious (not in the good way) to me, but whatever. I'm digging that Deanna's arc is finally taking off a bit. The preview for next week looks eeeeenterestink.
I also thought Hot Dog was in trouble there for a second.
Gaeta. Not happy the Colonel is back, eh? Yeah, I guess not. I sort of adored Tigh snapping at everyone to quit the effing clapping at get back to work. I totally missed what Adama and Tigh were cracking up about (I got distracted, so I didn't hear), but I did enjoy what I saw of it. Definitely had the "we're so screwed, but damn that's (whatever it is) funny, and we need a release" vibe, and who hasn't been there? That was nicely done.
Loved seeing Jane E's name in the credits!
