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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
We so totally would. I would have been burning things to disc and sending them to you.
And when I got them in the mail I would have called you and made you listen to me watch them.
You're forgiven! For flashfic? What challenge?
Something set between The Returns. Could work for the Earthside challenge OR the Phone Calls challenge OR Buildings and Food. Want me to send it when I'm done? I don't know how much internet access you have.
Definitely send it. I'll be on and off, depending on the day.
Holy cow. They're showing
The Day After
on Sci-fi right now. I barely remember anything from the movie - I more remember how hyped it was. And Jason Robards. I think I have to watch. Was it a mini-series, or two-parter or something?
Yeah, that'll get you in the Christmas spirit, alrighty.
I'm pretty sure it's just a longish movie. The original showing was all in one night, IIRC.
I tell you what, good thing it was hyped as much as it was back in the day, because half an hour in? OMGSOBORING. Yet, I cannot look away.
ETA: Missiles firing? Always. Creepy.
Why is it that every week Smallville gets a promo and Supernatural doesn't? Plus, why won't they announce when the next new SPN episode is?
Well, I went back and read the posts in the last thread. Am, like many of you all were back in July, broken. ::sniff:: Held it together by force of will while watching, as I was not watching alone. Am now sniffly as Hell. I mean, they seeded it with Sarah Jane, but, still. ::Big sniff:: I guess the Face of Bo is going to be a longer-term thing. Loved the final Bad Wolf callback.
On a lighter note, my brother and I are going to play "Exterminate", "Delete" on Christmas Eve: confuse the Hell out of the relatives, plus, fun!
I miss having lots of discussion after episodes air. It seems a little pointless to look up months-old posts of those who ahemmed.
It was sad. I was a mess, actually. Glad everybody else in my house was in bed so no mocking of me, crying at the tv.
Yeah, I did my blubbering when I got home, got the Internets, and indulged in some poking of the bruises (we on the Internets are really good at that). I am now up because I can finally write the fic I've had in the hutch for...oh, 6 months.
Also, "Put her in the fucking TARDIS. You idiot."
I'd love to see if there were other cuts of the last scene, or if they knew exactly which way to go on each decision.
I'm thinking I may have to ahem the new Christmas special. I don't know, though. I'm...torn. Because, unlike last year, nsm organic with the "hey, look what's coming!" and, thus, more jarring.
Wah! *sniff* I actually ahemmed this several weeks ago, and did my crying then, but that turned out to be a bad decision, because none of the friends I had been watching with were up-to-date with the ahemming, and thus I was all alone in my misery. On the other hand, though, I'm now sufficiently recovered to feel like I can watch the new Christmas special now without feeling emotional whiplash. I needed some time to grieve.
I just really loved Rose, and it's going to be hard for me to watch the new episodes and not wish she were still there. I mean, I totally understand why the character had to go, and I expect I'll like the new Companion a lot, but it's just not going to be the same show for me without Piper OR Eccleston. (All you longtime
Who
fans probably see it differently, since the revolving cast of Companions and Doctors is kind of integral to the show's whole concept, but... I'm not used to it! I want them to stick around and be together forever! Or at least for another season or two.)
