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.

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

A hero should not have to steal his weapon.

It's not stealing! It's a quest! To grab the symbolic weapon from the clutches of evil.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well, now that you mention it...

Maybe that's why he was not meant to get it from the museum.

Let me rephrase. I see Ando as emotionally older. Surely you didn't think I thought you thought he was 13?

Nope. But what I'm saying that a guy can be emotionally mature in other areas, and turn EMOTIONALLY into a 13 year old when pinged in the sex area. In other words in is not just a matter of sexual tastes. It is a matter of how you react emotionally. Its that whole 13 year old boy thing of "god I'd do anything to get laid by a real live girl - especially one who looks like ____".

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Wasn't Linderman the one who used Nikki to sleep with Nathan so he could keep him in his pocket? And now Linderman is using Jessica to kill Nathan. What's changed? Does Linderman no longer think Nathan can be leashed? I forget the politics of it, but I thought before that Linderman *wanted* Nathan to win the election so that he could have a high-ranking puppet.

Has Nathan's running around with Mohinder made Linderman believe that Nathan won't be so easily controlled? Has Nathan's career-risky behavior in visiting his old flame shown that Nathan is willing to risk the election for family, so the pictures of him and Nikki don't seem likely to keep him in check???

I know. And I see him as the sort that's older than you do. That's all.

Linderman tried to blackmail Nathan with the tapes of him and Niki, but Nathan got the tapes, instead.

Maybe Linderman is pissed at that, maybe something else.

oh, so it was failed blackmail?

I thought the hotel lady had copies to give to Linderman?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I hate to say this but Ando and Hiro acted totally in character.

That was pretty much my take, too. Ando also naively thought he could get away with scamming a casino.

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

no.

We have, actually. It was the episode in which DL came home, after they found the dead gamblers (the ones Ando had been playing poker with). Niki slumps down with her back to the mirror in the bedroom and starts talking to Jessica, who is sitting next to her.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Didn't we see both of them in the woods, after the attempt on DL's life? There was a puddle or somesuch on the ground, but I seem to remember both of them standing there.
