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'll have to give the episode another chance when I'm less stressed by deadlines and holidays.

I'm glad I didn't try to watch the episode this morning, beyond the beginning teaser, anyway. I'm not at my comprehending best.

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

I found the Torchwood ep showed character growth over time. Eugene isn't the same guy at the end--not only because we learn more about him as the plot goes on. I initially thought of it as similar to that DW episode, but then not really. It becomes a lot about Eugene, and a bit about Gwen. Very little about Torchwood or their mission.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Must. Not. Read. Whitefont.

More interview with Jane Espenson -- this one is about the episode.

On edit: it includes a teeny-tiny spoiler for another episode. The title and generally what it's about.

Heroes: I wonder if the MBG or Haitian (what are we calling him now?) NOT replacing lost time with other memories is a form of protest at what he is doing? Or just means that he can't add fake memories - just erase the ones that are there.

'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"

Or he just fuzzes up the memory with a strong wish to not think about it or even notice that time is missing. Which doesn't work so perfectly when it's apparent to all (like a cop missing his shift) that time has indeed passed.

If I were Cheer!Daddy, I'd try to time all my abductions on the weekends....

Ooh, completely different scene of this week's BSG sneak previewed during The Lost Room.

(There was also a new promo for The Dresden Files .)

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.

What? Dag. Oh well, I'm sure I'll catch it during BSG or Who this week or someone will YouTube it.

Heroes: I got home before 9 from the Company Holdiay party. Was full of glee. I could watch Heroes.... o wait... much sadness. Not for a few weeks.
