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.

Now if he just got the Little Nicky hair lopped off.

well, if Sylar takes his skull off, that means that the hair will go, too, right?

Daniel! I was thinking that Peter was becoming Superman too! He was very Supes-like in this episode.

He was very Supes-like in this episode.

Well, in a "Superman is a dick" kinda way.

I was strictly thinking of the types of powers that he's using - stopping darts, flying. . . that sort of thing.

What is even happening?

So like if Batman was Superman.

Whoa, Cindy just blew my mind.

The floppy forelock adds to the superman impression.

To me, the floppy forelock adds to the Dick Grayson dimension.

Oh, yeah, I can see that, now that you mention it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

When has Superman stopped stuff with the power of his mind?

He didn't have to touch Claude to see him, and I don't think he and Matt touched when Matt was trying to read his mind and vice versa.

But in both cases, isn't there an element of those powers that requires some kind of contact with Peter's mind? Proximity alone might not be enough if their powers weren't acting on him in some way (like Matt reading someone else's mind in his presence, for example.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

If Matt had tried to read Peter's mind, that might count as special contact -- projective powers that affect him in some way also count?

At least if I was running a GURPS Heroes game, it would.
