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.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

Hmmmm. That's what I get for playing with the computer more than watching the tv. (I really thought that the good werewolf morphed at some point.) I think I still have the episode on tape somewhere; when I get a chance I'll try to rewatch the end.

Yes, it was - and when she killed him -- that's when he said something like, "I guess I'm your number nine."

Thrive to spite them

It's the boyfriend that changes.

Harry calls out the girl's name, which is when the FBI chick turns around and slashes the werewolf's throat, but once the werewolf turns back it's the FBI's boyfriend.

I couldn't tell if Harry really thought it was the girl or was trying to trick the FBI chick.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I think I figured out the scalp/hair issue: it never meant a damned thing.

Really.

The two FBI agents needed to keep control over the murder investigations, so they connect all their victims and call it a serial and are able to keep all the local police away from discovering the truth. There was never a ritual involved at all.

Also, I watched it a second time round, and Harry most definitely, deliberately lied when he said "Heather, no!". It was like "Look, a zeppelin!"

Juliebird -- that makes sense.

I don't think that Harry knew that the boyfriend was a werewolf too -- did he?

he did, because when he chucked a silver stake at him, the guys hand burned and his eyes glowed yellow and he seemed pretty wigged, there was the whole bit where ?Bush? ripped open his short, tore off the bandage and revealed no wound, Harry throws a second stake at the FBI agent, either for good measure, or because "oh shit, werewolf!".

Our wings are not tired.

So I have Deal or no Deal on and they promise a preview thing in a few minutes for Heroes. My word this show is awful.

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

Upon rewatch, I concur with the conclusions drawn above. Including the need for more Bob. I love Bob. Harry really ought to take him out more.

I guess it makes sense that Bob can't go too far from his skull. Seems it ought to be a longer "leash" but that cocker spaniel joke was funny.

Let's hope the show does well enough to get a bigger budget for CGI. Those were some awful werewolves. Scary, though, when Bob turned around with the werewolf head on at the murder scene and growled at Harry. I wasn't expecting that. That's a cool trick Bob does, with the shapeshifting.

Also, Harry was really hot. Did he have his hands off Heather for more than ten seconds, ever?

I also wonder if Heather the Werewolf will replace Susan the Vampire, but they have cast a Susan, so either Harry will have two girlfriends he might have to kill one day, or they're changing Susan's story. I've divorced the show almost entirely from the books in my head. It's easier that way.

edit because i is not s

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

I thought he thought it was the girl attacking the FBI wolf at the end, because of how he yelped "Stop!"
