We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

Must have been on the show Vortex, because I saw that too.

Still hating Cally with 1,000 burning suns-hate.

Guess I wasn't the only one hoping she got shot by the Cylons. Heh.

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

Maybe she's the Cylon.

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

Thanks, again, Kalshane! I appreciate your indulgence.

Also, I lied. I just bought the first book.

And, considering the "Heroes" logo/show opening, it makes sense. Why am I still whitefonting? It was the eclipse.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

yeah, that's always been my impression. what i'm curious about is the fact that HRG has apparently been doing this for years though. didn't he sort of imply that Claire's birth parents were "special" and that "studying" them became problematic and they were killed. (i can't remember if it was just the mother discussed or mother and father.)

That's true. but there have been lots of eclipses, so maybe a different eclipse activated people's powers previously.

'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"

Or maybe people with powers were extra-extra-special back then, and now the speciality has increased so that it's 0.01% of the population instead of 0.0001%

Art Crawl!!!

Two BSG promos. The first one aired after the Monday night repeat - the second one aired in Canada. Much more interesting than the promo that aired after Sunday's episode.

And there are two Director's cuts for SPN up at the CW website.

People were on the list and known to have the latent powers before the eclipse activated the powers. Hiro tried to manipulate time long before it happened. That's my story.

I think HRG had the list with Claire on it and something bad happened when he approached the parents. Or he stole her. Or something.

Hmmm, I'd forgotten about the eclipse. I don't think there were two, though. The one that Micah made the box for and that Mohinder talked about to whomever was present day and we see in SMA that everyone already had powers. So, maybe the eclipse is just what gets everyone converging, not necessarily their powers. Kind of like the instinct that sends animals migrating at a specific time to a specific place, like New York. Damn, I really need a timeline drawn out to see just what happened when.
