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.

You see downloading along a telepathic link. I see a skinny Christian Bale.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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.

no, I just rewatched (at home because my roof is leaking), and the scene with the FBI guy patching his wound very clearly shows several tufts of hair/ears of different colors next to a briefcase filled with spray bottles and a set of pliers. If there was no ritual, why would they bother to keep them and possibly incriminate themselves?

Have we seen either of them interact with the other outside the context of a reflection before?

no. and remember that Jessica looked startled when she passed the reflective floor sign and didn’t see Nikki. She then turned and looked upstairs to talk to Nikki, there was no reflective surface in sight. I think that since it was originally Nikki’s body, she is the strongest, but Jessica’s personality is stronger, so she dominates. When Nikki gets upset enough, she can separate the two.

I thought Jessica's reaction to finding out that Matt could hear both of them was interesting.

yes. And he seems to be able to determine the difference between thoughts and sounds now.

Mohinder! Watch out! Get a freaking clue!

yeah. I don’t know how Mohinder would know that it wasn’t Zane. I mean, he has the powers, there’s no reason to know that it’s Sylar.

BSG is renewed for a 4th season but according to Syfy Portal they haven't decided whether it's going to be a 13 or 22 episode season. But whatever they decide (and apparently syndication packages have something to do with the decision making process) it probably won't start 'til next January. So - hiatus from March 25th 2007 to sometime in January 2008.

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

I hope Mohinder was cottoning onto something there...if he gets played by yet another user, one who played his dad...well, it's not watch from the hall like Hiro and Ando were this week, but that's because I don't much like him.

Sad about Ando being played so easily. Confused about why Hope was crying in the kitchen in the first place--was she hoping for Galahadlike kitchen staff to come and rescue the fair maiden? Hatehatehate the sexy woman who plays the rube, and wipes away all his (sensible) questions with a kiss. Ando seemed a bit more sensible than that. Fuck, if I thought kisses were that powerful, I'd be running through car dealerships and outfitting my fleet.

Not sure why the Gaming guy would care about Hiro--I hope that he actually cares about Hope and will be using Hiro's help.

Heh. Hope called Hiro Sulu before she decked him. But somehow I didn't like his Vulcan hello.

No, I am surprised. I didn't have any reason to think he was a blithering idiot--he seemed far more sensible than Hiro, for all that he went along with him. In fact, I thought of him as the sensible one of the pair, looking out for his friend.

Fish out of water doesn't account for his behaviour here--maybe she reminds him of Niki? I don't know. He's acting like a moron and it reduces any sympathy I might feel for him.

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

BSG renewed:

In a press released issued by NBCU, the company said SciFi has ordered "a minimum of 13 hours," indicating that it is a partial pickup order giving the network the option to order more episodes based on ratings and other financial and industry factors. "Battlestar Galactica" producer David Weddle told SyFy Portal Monday night that SciFi Channel is still deciding on whether Season 4 should be 13 episodes, or possibly a 22 -- making it the longest season yet for its critically-acclaimed series. "We should have a decision on that soon," Weddle said.

Huh, this is interesting:

"Taking A Break From All Your Worries," which the network publicly was not happy about since it was supposed to be a lighter episode, brought in 2.5 million total viewers to the show, plus 1.6 million adults 18 to 49, the largest audience for any BSG episode since the Season 2 premiere, network officials said.

Okay - SUPERNATURAL Fans you must RACE to the CW website and view the Director's cuts - not only does the first one have the Mouthbreather from Wonderfalls but the second one has Dean and Sam wrestling on a bed.

IJS.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It looks like this week's Supernatural is their homage to the XF episode "Syzygy".

I have a lot of opinions for someone who doesn't watch the show.

Well, he did imagine that he could have a real relationship with an Internet stripper.
