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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I knew Mr. Nakamura was involved!

And what the hell were they doing on that roof? That's Simone's father's building.

opps! xpost.

Shouldn't everyone who was in the house have radiation poisoning (except for maybe Claire)?

Mr. Bennett and Matt both had visible radiation burns,and should probably be grateful they've already done their child-fathering. On the bright side, with all the drama they may be killed by external forces before the cancer can get them.

DX, ooh, good call on Simone re: the promo for next week. And it would explain why he continued to hang out on that particular rooftop. (Why use that rooftop to begiin with? Just to clarify, that is the building Simone's dad lived in? Or the building Isaac's studio is in, or are they the same?)

Are promos fair game for discussion? I'll unspoiler-font if so: So if Claude was protecting Simone, perhaps he wanted to keep her away from Peter (he is the bomb, after all!) and not just cuz he's an ornery ole bastage. Or maybe he didn't know she'd manifested at all, and her dad'd had some power and it was he that Claude was hiding?

And, thanks for the clarification on "vivisected".

Art Crawl!!!

OMG! I totally didn't realize it was the same roof.

When I realized that Mr. Bennett was going to have the Haitian shoot him, I was thinking, "Man, HRG is hardcore," but then he tells the Haitian to "go deep" and Claire starts crying and I started crying too.

I can't imagine that next week's episode could POSSIBLY be as good.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh my. Wow! I don't know when I have seen such an interesting episode of television.

And now I have to go to sleep, but I anticipate complex scary dreams, with black & white segments.

Didn't see the promo. But really, I have enough to digest.

HSQ like Whoa!

This was so absorbing, I didn't miss any of the other story lines. Do you think Matt will become an "agent"?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Another question is who is the Haitian actually working for. It seemed to me that he sort of implied it was Claire's real family. If so, Nathan (or maybe Mama Petrelli?) knows a lot more than he's been letting on.

Of course, the baby may not be Matt's. And I wonder if he's going home any time soon. Looks like he might become a company man as well.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

With both of the Petrelli boys having powers, I think there may be a good chance that either Mama or Papa Petrelli also has/had powers. It could have something to do with the father's suicide.
