Yeah... That went well.

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.

or there's an Isaac painting (or paintings) we haven't seen yet that Linderman has in his collection.

Oh, I like that!

Little Alex all grown up and chopping vegetables for a pot pie. Such a lovely picture (although cream sauce does not sound appealing in that setting - I'm a brown gravy girl all the way). Interesting that he cited making people happy as his reason for liking to cook. Seems like it ought to mean something sinister.

It didn't occur to me that Isaac's latest painting was anyone but himself until I came in here. That said, that wasn't exactly a recognisable face.

Ando's reappearance was just beautiful, and Hiro taking him with him was perfect. Hiro's experience with Charlie seems to imply that the explosion is going to happen no matter what, since Hiro has seen it. OTOH, he also thought he'd lost his power, and we know that isn't so.

It just occured to me - that stick in Claire's head must have damaged her brain, and she's fine now, so she (and tehrefore Peter) can regenerate some brain, at least. Oh, dear, that opens up a terrible Prometheus' liver sort of possibility. Ick. Wish I hadn't thought of that.

Oh, good lord, now I'm seeing Mama Petrelli as a Bene Gesserit prtototype and Peter as her Kwisatch Hadderach, though she thinks that it's Claire...

6 weeks for me to chase my own tail like this? Yikes.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

There was a gun on the floor near Isaac in the future. Hiro picks it up right before the police rush in.

And, I'd imagine, it's the same gun HRG gives him to shoot his ex-girlfriend Peter.

My reaction to Malcolm McDowell is "Ugh," so I'm not enthused about Linderman. Maybe once we learn something about him beyond "likes pot pie."

Liking pot pie is a big endorsement in my book. But I have enough faith in MM that I'm enthusiastic about Linderman stepping out of the shadows.

You know, thinking about it, putting Nathan in the White House after only 2 years of national experience -- either this is a great big Obama joke, or else Nathan is being tempted with the possibility of emulating... Gerald Ford.

Linderman: And you'll find yourself in the White House, a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Homer Simpson: Just like Gerald Ford ...

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Thanks for the translation, Megan! (Future perfects: even more confusing in French!)

Little Alex all grown up and chopping vegetables

I'm kind of grateful Linderman was waxing rhapsodic about cooking instead of music, because I'd rather not have flashbacks to A Clockwork Orange. *shudders* (Brilliant film -- I never want to watch it again.)

A mention of Beethoven in that scene would have been Too Weird.

This week's Heroes comic is interesting.

Has anyone looked for or found the "hidden secrets" in the comics? I barely have th patience to load the things, so I won't be searching for eater eggs, but I'm a little curious.

Worse - he could have started humming "Singin' in the Rain".

eta, anyone want to bet he was going to have a glass of milk with his pot pie?

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

This week's Heroes comic is interesting.

Huh. That would have been an interesting revelation to have on the show. I keep wondering how canon these things are because something like that is going to have to be addressed at some point, right?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I have confidence in MM doing a great job with Linderman.

Well, thank you.

Oh, wait. Right.

Anywhosit...I assumed the painting was of Isaac himself, which...well, I wouldn't mind so much. He's starting to annoy the holy hell out of me, frankly.

My reaction to the Sylar/Mohinder interaction scenes:

Drink up, little bitch. Yeah, there you go...night night.

A tuning fork? A TUNING FORK?! MOHINDER, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!!

Okay, seriously...FOUR genes allow you to totally defy physics? Wow, ain't nature grand? Also...I want a TV computer. I want a Heroes/CSI laptop that is faster than God's Corvette and has completely useless but pretty looking interfaces.

Yeah, that's right, Sylar. Someone's gonna shoot your ass and you ain't got no Claire-ity healing power, so...DAMN! MOHINDER REALLY SHOT HIM! DAMN! THAT'S SO--

Oh, Mohinder, you dumb fuck.

Later: Hey, Mohinder...I appreciate your love for Lionel Richie, but...anyway, that's gonna leave a mark. You dumb fuck.

I want Jack Bauer's cell phone, or at least the (a) batteries and (b) the coverage.
