'Serenity'


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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I believe it repeats shortly after midnight.

Hee, I loved the baseball. Almost better than "Spoon!!!"

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

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thanks, Zenkitty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This show is so charming.

Anyway, about that couple hundred mph pitch that Jack hit Dylan in the head with. How come Dylan wasn't killed instantly?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

How come Dylan wasn't killed instantly?

Jack's pitching arm isn't as good as he thinks it is?

I really wish this ep had aired in production order -- the relationships all felt like they took a weird step backwards. (Lines like "I'll never get used to this town," and the whole thing with Zoe getting used to the school, etc.)

Yeah, I thought the same thing, DX.

I liked this one a lot. They're really good at the funny.

Yeah, I thought Dylan should be dead, too. But that would be Not Charming!

And I agree about the out-of-order-ness, but I just slotted it in in my head, like I had missed it the first time.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Just watched the "Angels and Demons" episode of Blade. I'm confused--I thought they said that Chase was turned by a Leichen--her husband, played by Bacic.

I assumed her husband left Cthon to join the hippy blood-bath house, considering their big thing is they don't feed off humans. Would be kind of weird if they still killed them to make them into vampires.

If so, I don't get the house thing at all. And I don't see why they were all "Ha! You purebloods are not immortal!" when Marcus killed one with what looked like conventional means.

Well, considering the purebloods we saw in the movies died just as easily as any other vampire, I think it was meant to be more of a "Ha, we made something that kills you but not us, so how are you better?" sort of deal. Could have been worded a lot better.

What I'm trying to figure out is how Krista managed to get drunk, since I thought it was established earlier in the season that human food and drink just made vampires sick.

The killing of vampires is getting pretty ridiculous, though. I really doubt the tomahawk Marcus had in his office had a silver blade, and since when did slitting a vampire's throat (with a spike heel, no less)dust them?
