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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, the bonus scene rocked it, and would have made that whole storyline so much more interesting.

Mostly I spent this episode being awkward about where I was expecting Starbuck to be. I really only feel her loss through the reactions, and that means, of course, Adama (O, Bill) and Sam.

I'm worried about Sam, though, because I don't really see where he'll fit into the storyline without Starbuck. Poor Sam.

I'm ignoring the whole major plotline (except for Badger! Yay, Badger!) because Baltar is driving me nutty. In an in-character way, I suppose, but still.

And anyway, I was still busy feeling yanked around by the show.

When Lee opens his law practice, Sam will be his paralegal! They'll fight crime! Or defend criminals. Whatever.

Oh, Sam could be Lee's hired gumshoe.

Oh, oh, much better. Because now I'm picturing Sam in a trench coat and fedora, and it is good.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee! Sam could absolutely rock a trench coat and fedora.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Do you think trenchcoat, or police procedural? Because Bill = Al Giardello, Sam = Tim Bayless, Lee = Ed Danvers, and figuring out who gets to be Frank is going to make my afternoon so much more procrastinatey than it was before.

BSG: I've said it before and I'll say it again. Why are we getting these one-off eps when there are major plot points still in limbo??? Where are the Cylons? What about Hera? Why are Helo and Sharon acting like nothing happened when they were lied to about the death of their child? This season is annoying me.

Limpkin (or whatever the fool's name is) bugged the crap out of me. If I were Lee, I'd have popped him a few times, what with the stupid sunglasses, the riddle talk, and just the all around smugness of the fool. Hated him. A lot.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Torchwood: Has anyone heard a workable theory as to why Bad Wolf was in the graffiti at the ballroom? I mean, I can easily come up with vague thoughts that tie into the (seeming) return of the TARDIS at the end of the season, but nothing more specific than that.

Vortex, I watched "Blood Ties." The other big change I noticed, other than those you mentioned, was the complete absence of Tony. I suppose it's not unusual for them not to include a character from a book, but Tony is a major enough character that he was spun off into his own series. I'm waiting to see how they handle the romance angle -- in the books Vicki was sleeping with both Henry and Celluci. That's unusual for a heroine; they are normally forced to pick one hero or the other.
