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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Like the latest Dresden better than the first. Still adjusting to changes. I spent the whole scene where Dresden and Murphy are arguing in her cubicle waiting for the computer to crash. (In the books, magic and technology are non-mixy things and wizards have an aura that has a negative effect on technology, particularly when they are stressed or emotional. The more high tech and/or fragile something is, the more likely it is to fail. It's why Harry drives an old VW bug in the books and a Jeep on the show. Older tech, durable, and very easy to repair.)

We got some more snark, which is always good. The pacing was a lot better, IMO, and we didn't have the Doombox-ex-machina ending. Valerie Cruz's reaction to cutting herself was way over-the-top, but her fidgeting with her bra after getting possessed by Boone (suddenly having breasts and a bra would definitely be a bit of a shock for a man, even when expecting the switch) was a nice and amusing bit.

BSG was interesting. I could have done without the love trapezoid stuff (though the final scene with Lee and Dee got to me) but I enjoyed the rest of it. After going back and forth so much this season, it was wierd not to have anything happening on the Cylon ship, though it makes sense now that Baltar and Caprica Six are with Gallactica and D'eanna is boxed.

Oh, in Supernatural news, apparently some fans have discovered that Sam's FBI badge identifies him as Special Agent Han Solo. There's speculation that Dean's badge says Chewbacca, but I couldn't read the signature in the screencap.

The TWoP recaplet reminded me of something I thought when I caught the bonus scene after last night's BSG. I'm really hoping that, since we now have Caprica Six on Galactica, they'll do one ep from her POV, and include Imaginary!Gaius, or even better, have the ep from both her and Baltar's POV, and have dueling Chip!personas, maybe in the same scene!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've missed Imaginary!Gaius.

Oh, I forgot about Imaginary Gaius. I hope she still has him.

have dueling Chip!personas, maybe in the same scene!

I would love this as long as they don't actually interact with each other, because that wouldn't make sense.

Exactly! Having two sets of Sixes and Baltars in the same room, with Caprica dealing with both Baltars, and Baltar dealing with both Sixes, but the imaginary versions acting like little devils/angels on their charges' shoulders completely oblivious to the existence of the other in the same room? An incredible chance for some fascinating acting challenges for both of them (as well the director in how to stage it).

That would be fun.

Also, I am where ita is WRT to Baltar and Dee.

I'm enjoying The Dresden Files. Haven't read the books, so no worries with changes. I do find the thing you all were talking about with the not using words for spells weird and the reason lame.
