I decided to tape the whole thing because the airings I could stay up for are at exactly the wrong time for other stuff I watch. It may just wind up sitting around unwatched, but it sounded (and from the previews looked) interesting.

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.
The Peter Krause character did several things that were not stupid, and I was pleased.

Thrive to spite them
I liked Krause's relationship with his daughter. Also I stopped watching around the time Juliana M was talking about her "second" or when the medical examiner guy was talking to the mental patient -- I can't remember which happened later. Actually, how did the medical exmainer end up there and talking about the objects, it seemed like he knew about them but I thought Krause's character only told his partner. Or was the examiner guy's knowledge indpendent of Krause's knowledge.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I thought it was pretty well done. I'm a little leery of all these factions being so centered in Pittsburgh (though they did say something about the objects drawing each other together) and of Pollack's and Bart's characters knowing so much about the plan that fits the objects together without being able to say what exactly is going on with the room itself. But it held together well and had some very good performances.
Who knew the network responsible for Mansquito had this kind of quality up their sleeves?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
askye, it was independent. He was following up on Iggy's personal effects, and he found out about the Order.
I like it so far, and I'm interested to see where it goes. It's a cool idea. I loved this exchange:
"What does the gun do?"
"It shoots bullets really fast."
Wait, we can blackfont this, can't we?

Yes, it aired last night so it can be totally blackfonted.
And really, the little girl is played by Dakota Fanning's younger sister and isn't all the creepy. Although she did figure out a bunch of stuff about that lost hotel on her own.

I loved the scene where she was all, "Pick any stuffed animal BUT OMG NOT THAT ONE."
Also, I noticed that Rob Kral is responsible for the score.

Scifi.com has a bunch of little videos about various of the objects and what they do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How gay is Zach? The article contains guesses about future Heroes plot based on casting news linked to upthread. Kring's comments.

That was an awfully lame response on the part of Kring. Why'd he bother?
