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.
TRANSLATION: They're no Jim Halpert.
Haha. I was going to add something about how no one has to justify their flailing and I am not one to talk since the thing that makes me the flailiest is a bleedin' half hour SITCOM fer crying out loud. But that's more succinct.
ION, my Life on Mars torrents are going to take *forever*.
Mines (both hours) have already finished downloading, but I'm here at work, instead of at home watching them. The world is a cruel, harsh place.
I have also caught up on SGA over the weekend and have enjoyed the last two episodes immensely, even though I don't really get flaily about that show either.
I started watching two days after IMToD, totally not expecting to have an acute case of flail.
I went all the way to The Usual Suspects without flailing, and then went back to the beginning to rewatch all of S1 in order. Somewhere in there the flail hit. Mostly, I blame the fandom, particularly Big Pink's "Red" and Nilchance and Beanside's "Of Bastard Saints", both of which bring on the emoporn like woah.
It's weird how much emotion I'm investing in these characters--it's like the wacky old Farscape days for me. Without the leather.
Suela, I referred to Red as a "full-on deep tissue emo massage" in IM with Jilli the other day, but really, that might just sum up my reaction to the freakin' show.

Heh. Yeah. For me, S4 AtS.
I think the whole family thing is a particular button that needs to be pushed in order to tip people over to flaily territory, and I just don't have it.
I knew I had that button (in particular, the "strained but undershot with deep love" father-son relationship), but I didn't realize how hard it could be pushed.

Totally worth it, though. See Sam go
to the dark side...

Also, some disconnect when
Marc Warren, aka Elton from "Love and Monsters", shows up as a ruthless gangster, but he manages to dispell any misgivings in a matter of minutes just by being a brilliant actor
.
I know exactly where my attraction for the brothers' relationship and theirs with their dad is coming from; I acknowledge it and I'm letting it run. It doesn't hurt that the leads are pretty, and talented.
For those who've read "Red", I think I read her "Old Rebel Yeller" first, and loved it.

yeah, that's a romp.
I have to admit, I'm a little dubious about "Dazzleland", but only because she and I really disagree on John. As a result I'll be cruising along with the story happily, and then she has a scene with John and I just screech to a halt. She really doesn't like him, and it shows. And yet, I keep reading, because everything else is so excellent.
People who missed the SCifi repeats of Jake 2.0 - they are marathoning the show on Monday February 19th.
ETA: Unfortunately the marathon won't include the previously unaired episodes. But, they will be aired during the Jake 2.0 Marathon that's running on March 22nd.
I mostly want to ruffle their hair and thwap them on the side of their heads when they're being stupid.
Hey, look at that! Vonnie just explained my reaction to the Winchester boys. Because that's *exactly* how I feel about them.
