I like the one after. Has my favorite quote " Everybody lives! "

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Daisy Jane, I love that too.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That's what I meant by the next one. I'm just horribly unclear when I'm sure you people are reading my brain.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
P-C, I use that quote whenever things go unbelievably, wonderfully right (usually for a change).

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
the Haitian dude
...look, this has been bugging me. It might just be a reflection of my own cultural-centric-whojamaflipness, or something, what with Haiti being nowhere the hell near my country, and thus my exposure to Haitian dudes being zilch zip zero nada not a bean.
But - WTF is with everybody describing him, just from a wee glance, as 'the Haitian-looking guy'?
What is so screamingly Haitian-looking about him that every person, regardless of their social/cultural/blahblahblah background describes him thus? That nobody just said 'scary black guy' and left it at that?
I just - I don't get it. Some people saying 'Haitian dude', fine. But nobody saying 'black dude'?
I mean, okay, in Britain we've got a higher proportion of us who are of Indian/Pakistani/Kashmiri/OtherBitOfTheIndianSubcontinent extraction than you have across the pond, so I get that most of the viewers of LOST don't stare blankly at the screen and say 'but...why is everyone calling Said an Arab as soon as they see him? He looks a damn sight more Indian than Arab. WTF?' And the answer is, I guess, that most of the viewers don't see the difference, although it seems honkingly obvious if you're used to seeing Indians and Arabs that they don't look the same. (I can handwave it, because there are plenty of variations of physical type in the Middle East, and okay, Said could look like that and still be from Iraq - but Neveen Andrews is not an Arabic looking guy, so having people assume he's an Arab on the basis of skin colour and features was always a bit bemusing.)
...So is this Haitian thing an equivalent? Am I being the LOST viewer person here now? With the not-noticing-a-hugely-obvious-thing that EVERYONE in the US would see at once? It boggled me a bit.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

That's how he was identified by IMDb, and then it was revealed that he had a Haitian accent.

I think Eden also referred to him at one point as "the Haitian."

Our wings are not tired.
They refer to him as the Haitian in the show. My city has a huge Haitian population (including my SIL), and I didn't think Haitian when I saw him.
Of course Andrews being Arab is another matter all together. As in, huh? Didn't I read above that Ando is not Japanese either.
I don't know if Haitian dude is really Haitian, or just scary black dude.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I seem to remember Ted(radioactive guy) telling Matt about meeting a Haitian student just before the blackout that brought out his powers. I'm assuming he actually talked to the guy.
