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.

juliana, that is not even close to being the most embarrassing thing I've watched for the sake of actor lust.

::stares at the Best of Alexis Denisof collection::

Me either.

I mean, I own the Hallmark Hall of Fame mini-series of Noah's Freakin' Ark. And First Knight.

Okay, I get that. I haven't had the time to cave and watch Dark Angel for the Ackles yet, but when I do, I'll be facepalming as I put it in the Netflix queue.

See, see... JOIN ME! I need to rewatch S2 soon. And, okay, Pollo Loco as well. But there's a good show trapped beneath the crap! It made me cry! Just understand that all the good parts have very little to do with the main Big Bad arc thing, and that they somehow sucked all the chemistry out of Max and Logan between S1 and S2.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Oh, *god*, you guys. This SHOW. I literally could not look directly at Dean's cookie-stuffed face, I was laughing so hard. Also, am very pleased to have confirmation that Dean really is living in a perpetual episode of Playboy After Dark.

What is even happening?

How -- did she stop going into heat?

See, see... JOIN ME!

I intend to! Soon! Dana just cleverly distracted me with Jonathan Creek, and I need to finish that first.

I literally could not look directly at Dean's cookie-stuffed face, I was laughing so hard.

I was on my bed hugging a pillow, shaking and weeping with laughter, my face shoved into the crook of my elbow. I had to pause and go to the bathroom for Kleenex. My eyes swelled up. It was AWESOME.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'll be facepalming as I put it in the Netflix queue.

Hopefully stocking up on booze at the same time.

Man, I still have Lady In Red going through my head....

Genetically engineered virus planted in Max and targeted toward Logan! Picture the dragged-out angst of S3 B/A with none of the occasional funny and genuine passion.

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

I liked this week's episode well enough, but it didn't make me laugh. A few very fond smiles, though.

The offhand "animal researcher=evol" thing really bothered me. And not just because my mother used to do animal research. That could totally have done with more setup to make him deserve it, and it really took me out of the mood of the show, even as lightly as I was getting it.

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

That bothered me too, ita, especially given the uproar over the animal research storyline on VM. I wish they had at least clarified that he was putting makeup on rabbits or something.

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

Season 2 is on my Netflix queue. I am a pathetic, hormone-driven woman.

Do you want to borrow mine?

I have the second and third disks of S1 Dark Angel at home, which I am planning on rushing through this weekend so that I can get to the JA parts, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

"Normal Again" was not the first time a TV show had done an "Everything You Know is Wrong" episode, but generally whenever it happens again, we make reference to it.

Now, the connection between "Tall Tales" and "Bad Blood" is evident because of the PTB pedigree, but "Bad Blood" couldn't have been the first time that storytelling technique had been used on television, could it? Can anyone think of a show that had done something like that before?
