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.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Loved Sgt Silar's "why does this always happen to me" crack. I thought the face of Daniel!Marrionette had vaguely James Spader and Michael Shanks features.

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

Fuck, I loved 200.

The Farscape, the J/D, the quotage, Teal'c PI, invisbling Jack, the whole deal.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, I suspect I will catch more bits each repeat viewing of 200. So much fun. So much content.

I tried to watch the Eureka episode I missed while we were travelling this week, but the boys howled at me for watching without them. So I have only seen the first few minutes and I'm trying to be a good mom and wait until they watch with me tomorrow. Grrrrr. If they sleep in I am watching without them. So there.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Andi, here's the full quote for you.

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.

Ah, thank you, my darling .

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I was thinking about using that as a tag, too, because, really, on that show, he's the one who has to say it. I mean, with the meta and everything. Just too perfect.

"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

As I saw someone say elsewhere, this episode was that rare love letter to the fans that actually got it right. I laughed through almost every minute of it—so much so during the puppet sequence that I hurt myself. Though for some odd reason I was cringing at the Trek spoof.

Boa vs. Python is on at 5PM EST today, for those of you who might have a thing for that David Hewlett guy.

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

I think the problem with the Trek scene was that it was a bit too much like Galaxy Quest, so BTDT.

'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"

On a second rewatch, I noticed that Martin Wood is also playing the director of the 200th episode of Wormhole X-treme....

The Trek sequence was funnier for being very short -- mercifully short, you might even say.

Notice that Vala thought Daniel into the John Chrichton role?
