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.

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

Am I right in thinking Peter can only use one power at a time? As in, can't fly while invisible?

we don't know. He probably doesn't know. He can barely concentrate enough to use one power, let alone two.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hiro moved time back one second the first time we saw him, IIRC.

Jessica, I share your frustration with the (d)evolution of Cally. I used to actually like her, and she was this cute kind of little sister to the guys, and she bit a guy's ear off... now she's just a nagging wife. Same with Dee... now she just stands by her (emo, boozing, in-love-with-someone-else) man.

It just feels like BSG has gotten so unfocused. I can't quite give up on it, b/c of my deep and abiding Starbuck love, but it sure is unsatisfying these days.

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

Oh, very good point!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hiro and Ando walking dazed through the carnage they had hidden from was so funny! There were cars on fire and they hadn't seen a thing happen! And then, not a scratch on the Versa!

Poor Ando. I hope he follows Hiro to Vegas. It's destiny!

Who else mentioned destiny last night? Was it Nuclear Ted? Or Skylar?

Sylar was rambling on about destiny and karma to Mohinder.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It just feels like BSG has gotten so unfocused.

I seem to remember they had this problem last season too around this time -- they seem to flounder a bit in-between mini-arcs.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm getting a tad bit "eh" about BSG, but like Jessica says, it's the in-between eps that make me that way. I'm still into it, and can still enjoy some aspects of even the worst eps (last week's Helo ep at least had shirtless Helo in it, so I was still relatively happy). Unlike my disillusionment with Lost, which I haven't tuned into since they came back from break.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Sci-Fi.com has an "On the Set with Jim Butcher" video for the Dresden Files:

Art Crawl!!!

So, really a 13 episode season could be a really good idea. (Perhaps they should have just conceived of this as 1 thirteen week arc and 1 9 week arc - maybe they could have kept it focussed.)

sweet! Thanks Kalshane!

Did you see the "Ask questions for PB" thread?

sumi, I think I agree with that: if they're going to continue breaking up the seasons, make them into mini-seasons.
