Welcome to the Hellmouth petting zoo.

Buffy ,'Beneath You'


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.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

What was the exact translation of the exchange between Grandma Petrelli and the Haitian? She said something about security, and the Haitian said, "Ecoutez. J'ai fait tous ce que je peux," (listen, I did everything I could) and I couldn't quite make out the rest -- I think it was something to the nature of "she was going to find out about it anyway" or something.

I normally don't read this thread, but I figured someone might want this translation so I transcribed it last night:

Grand-mère P: Au moins maintenant elle sera en sécurité...et pas grâce à vous. [At least now she'll be safe...no thanks to you.]

L'Haïtien: Ecoutez, j'ai fait tout ce que j'ai pu. Elle aurait bien fini par trouver sa propre voie. [Listen, I did everything I could. She would have eventually found her own way.]

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

Or the VERY fast laptop/biolab that evaluates DNA in a millisecond.

That was so goddamn ridiculous I didn't even bother trying to understand it. His dad had been working for MONTHS trying to isolate the proper genes, and Mohinder comes in and does it in, like, five minutes.

Holy Moly, Batdude! Their advertising must cost a bundle.

Our wings are not tired.

I thought it was Isaac in the painting.

I have confidence in MM doing a great job with Linderman. He was quite sure of himself turning his back on Nathan. Of course Nathan was in a corner. Linderman likely has his own power.

Mama Petrelli also most likely has power.

A rewatch of the whole series will be the plan over the break.

I had a microbiology course once where our professor had us watch Outbreak and MST3K the science. All you need to survive Ebola is a shot of monkey blood!

Mama Petrelli also most likely has power.

Raise your hand if you want to see a Mama Petrelli/Linderman smackdown!

Thanks megan!

They spent 4.5 million - rumors say.

Yowza!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

what's the significance to that roof?!?

Obviously, they can't afford to build yet another set!

I also have the sneaky suspicion that the main reason that Las Vegas got renewed is so they can offload some of the costs onto that show.

I thought it was Peter in the painting.

I think the Firefly pilot was 10 million, but that was two hours long.

What is even happening?

I was thinking about a rewatch too, Laura.

Wow, that's a lot of money for 42 minutes of TV.

I always have to handwave how quickly people get from TX to NY or NY to Vegas, etc.

I think it is Isaac in the painting. That makes the most sense.

I wonder if Sylar has to kill to get power, or if he just chooses to. Peter has a few powers that would make Sylar too powerful.
