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....

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

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?

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
It's the Rashomon plot, right?
Along with such classics as the Repeating Day, the It's a Wonderful Alternate Reality episode, evil twins, and so on.

Well, it's a little different from the Rashomon plot. In Rashomon, you get three or four different stories independently (cf. "A Trip to the Dentist"). With "Bad Blood," you get two different stories that are constantly being revised and updated during the storytelling process. (And even if it's the Rashomon plot, who was the first to use it on TV?)

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
The "Supernatural" talk is really making me regret not buying it at Best Buy when season 1 was on sale for $20. I haven't seen any episode of the show but for that price it wouldn't have hurt. Guess I have to wait until I can Netflix it.
I keep changing my Livejournal because I can't decide between Sylar or SciFi for my header.
I also kind of want to use this Torchwood(spoilery pic) one.

Aw! Now that I want the DVDs, I regret missing that sale too.
