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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Do we know what the Haitian dude is up to with not mindwiping Claire?

I just posted about this at WX. My guess is that Eraserhead is more loyal to Linderman than to HRG, and that HRG\'s \"private use\" of Eraserhead\'s ability (on his own family, etc.) is something that Linderman had not authorized. More than that, Eraserhead and Linderman might know that it\'s important for Claire to know who she is. HRG is letting his personal affairs get in the way of The Mission (whatever that may be).

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I was ridiculously happy that Claire managed to re-establish her bond with Zach (it's Zach, right?), and I fervently hope the writers don't subject these two to their own personal version of GROUNDHOG'S DAY.

That was my favourite bit from the episode. I love Claire a lot a lot A LOT. That's one resilient teenager, and not just in the obvious physical way.

Claire would have to be careful about hiding her newly-reestablished friendship from her father. I did wonder about what Bennet would do if he found out -- he could force the Haitian to Eternal-Sunshine them again! That would be tragic.

Also? "FLYING MAN!!!"

Right? And the exchange over the pronunciation of "villain." Nathan+Hiro=Adorable.

HRG is horn-rimmed glasses? I know who he is, but I've forgotten how he got the HRG designation.

I loved the bit with the hand gesture! So well timed.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I love Claire a lot a lot A LOT. That's one resilient teenager, and not just in the obvious physical way.

I read an interview with Bryan Fuller (of WONDERFALLS, DEAD LIKE ME, etc.) who is working on HEROES now, and he said Claire has become his personal favorite character to write for.

'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"

For the record, I want credit that I called the Hiro-in-the-museum-with-the-dinosaur.

Wait, Fuller is on HEROES? How did I miss that!?

I liked the scene between Claire & the Haitian more. It really made you feel for Claire, and it showed real empathy from the Haitian.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I don't know. That's part of the reason I watched it. He's a consulting producer, and he also writes for Claire. According to him, the different writers are in charge of specific characters.

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.

That's a brilliant strategy, I think. After all, they've obviously got their story arc planned out, and this will keep the characters' voices far more consistent than in some other shows we might mention (s2 of New Who, for one).

And yes, that was my first ep. of Heroes. I'm not sorry I didn't watch before, but I'm not sorry I started now.
