Spike ,'Never Leave Me'


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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

The painting had him with the full sword, though, didn't it?

it had him with the sword in the scabbard, not a bare blade, I thought. Which is what he had.

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

Ah. I thought he was pointing the sword at the dinosaur. I guess I should just walk over and look, huh?

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

Hm.

Looks like the actual sword, and it doesn't seem like that's the image we saw in the museum.

Hm.

But then again, Masi Oka said:

I'll say it straight up the answer [to the dinosaur painting] will be given in episode twelve.

So I guess that's it, then?

Yeah, I think that's close enough. Isaac may have...embellished a bit.

Hrrmph. I went to all the trouble to screencap and everything. I do not, however, have enough energy left over to replay the actual scene and see if he's brandishing a sheathed sword. Because that's not what the picture looks like, really.

Isaac's painting looks clearly like an unsheathed sword. And we know the sword Hiro had was a fake, so it was sheathed. I'm not sure which picture you're looking at.

But the screencap doesn't look sheathed. It looks silvery.

Okay, did go back and watch. Need a job. At some angles the scabbard is pretty indistinguishable from a sword, because of the sheen to the wood.

Yeah, so we know now that Isaac's visions can be more of...impressions.

I'm willing to give him more credit for accuracy than that. There are some frames that look just like a sword. The scabbard is reflective all the way.

"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

And Niki seems to really view it that way, that Jessica is truly a separate entity.

Isn't that how people suffering severe dissociative personality disorder regard their other personalities, though?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Pardon for interrupting the Heroes talk, but can someone who's familiar with the books explain something about Dresden Files to me? What's the deal with Bob? I get that he's a ghost who's "stuck" with his skull and can't go far away from it. But where did he come from? Who made him like that, and why? Was he a magician too? Could someone else who was able to see ghosts in general see him too, or can only Harry see him? I'm sure all these questions will be answered, but I don't want to wait. I also don't want to read the books. Sorry.
