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.

It seems like if there's a brunette, it's pretty likely she's monster bait and will die within two scenes.

Huh. What I got from S1 was that the brunettes were actually cooler and less victimy. Hailey from "Wendigo", Sarah Blake from "Provenance" and ... one of the girls in "Bloody Mary"--all brunettes, all a little snappier and more memorable than the run of identical starlet-type blondes with long hair.

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

It seems like if there's a brunette, it's pretty likely she's monster bait and will die within two scenes.

It's because she doesn't taste of the bleach.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

That's good to hear, because that is one of the things that has been bugging me while going through S1. Also, why are almost all of the female characters blonde? It seems like if there's a brunette, it's pretty likely she's monster bait and will die within two scenes.

We need a blonde-to-brunette meter!

Mary, Jess, Layla: blonde and doomed.

Hailey, Andrea, Sarah: brunette and not doomed.

Oh, and Cassie, brunette and not doomed.

More seriously, the show does a lot with visuals, and the recurring doomed blonde theme seems to be a conscious echo of Mary's death and the start of this whole thing.

The S2 recurring female characters thus far have been an even split between blonde and brunette. If we get to see Ava again, brunettes pull ahead.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Don't forget about Cassie! Or maybe do, because it's Cassie, but still, she fits in the second group.

eta: Hee!

Hee! Cassie crosspost!

I like the idea of Cassie. Thought the actress, though stunning, wasn't quite up to rising above the script, but I have Cassie fondness due to the coolness of the concept of her.

I like the idea too, but not the execution/actress. Plus I wanted to smack her mom.

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

And that possessed woman from Crossroads.

Hot!

What, I'm allowed to be shallow too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, and Cassie, brunette and not doomed.
Excellent.
