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 tagless for your comfort.

Rick Overton and Kevin Pollak as the brownies. "Beeah! Hehehehee!"

I saw some HBO behind the scenes thing where they interviewed "the brownies" in character. They were sitting on directors chairs in front of a Barbie Dream House and complaining about the craft service table or something or other. Hi-fucking-larious.

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

I so wanna say something about "That's not the one with the horns on their heads, is it?" but I'm afraid to be revealed as a worse philistine than I already have been.

Heh. It's never wrong to make fun of opera. It's a mockable genre, because it's so freakin' overwrought, be it comedy or tragedy. And no, The Barber doesn't have women with horned helmet, thanks Jebus.

I've never seen the Bugs Bunny version of Barber of Seville! I want to, now. I guess Bugs was Figaro and Elmer was Bartoldo? Did Elmer want to marry/have his evil ways with someone? Was he lusting after Tweety Bird?

How much do I love YouTube? The Rabbit of Seville.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

YouTube is kind of scary in some ways, but more and more, it's pretty freaking awesome.

The one with the horned helms is "What's Opera, Doc?"

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

Did Elmer want to marry/have his evil ways with someone?

Yup, and it was a very progressive marriage indeed.

Eeee! Thanks for the links. I'm not at my desk and writing this on a computer without a speaker, but I'll check these out as soon as I'm able.

Come to think of it, almost any opera would be rockin' in a cartoon form. Or with puppetry. A friend of mine told me there is a special troupe in Austria or somewhere that tours with a production of Don Giovanni w/ puppets. Leporello's little black book/scroll made of felt! Puppet!statue of the Commandatore! It sounds too awesome to be borne.

Art Crawl!!!

TVGuide's post-Emmy party interviews with Jamie Bamber and James Callis. (Scroll down - they are there.)

The one with Jamie Bamber is not for the people who want no taint of spoiler to come near them. But you should watch it with the sound off because he's just so darn cute.

What a lovely couple of guys - personality-wise, that is. And otherwise, too, of course. Man, I'm practically salivating for this damn season to start.

Um, er, can anyone help me get my mitts on the episodes of Eureka? Y'see, we don't have cable, but after reading through Boxed Set, it sounds like I very much need to see Eureka (as does the Devilbunny. I think he'll want to move there).
