'Out Of Gas'


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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Is it this one, from Spoilers proper and not lite? Fiona "Spoilers 3: First Mutant Enemy, Now the World" Apr 2, 2007 4:01:37 am PDT

I seem to recall a different casting spoiler for DW as well.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If that\'s what Fiona is referring to (and it must be), then... Neat!

Art Crawl!!!

Oh yes, I read that along time ago. (And the spoilery thing appears in that promo that Betsy linked to.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Following DWC: Yeah, Fiona, I caught that too. Seriously, could Russell be more of a fanboy? He basically confirmed this huge OTP that, for all we saw onscreen, could have been played off as unrequited. But instead he says with the enthusiasm of anyone on time_and_chips, "Rose met the most fantastic man in the world, who happened to think she was the most fantastic woman in the world, but how often does that happen in real life?" I swear to god, you know that man has a stash of Rose/Doctor fanfiction on his hard drive that he desperately wishes he could have put on the show.

Also DWC: Dude, totally didn't realise it was Tony Head narrating until the credits. Oy. Also, Face of Bo! Who doesn't love the Face of Bo?

Is DWC=Dr. Who Casting? (trying to figure if I want to read the whitefont-trying to stay unspoiled!)

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.

Hey, did anyone recognize Jim Butcher? Apparently, this was the episode that he had a cameo in.

Yeah, his cameo was really brief. He was in the background in the morgue. Tall dark-haired guy with a beard and glasses wearing a labcoat.

I believe the episode moved up and then down and then back in the rotation a bit, and was considered as the season finale for awhile, which means as originally written, she could be referring to "Things that Go Bump", which is next week's episode, most of Harry and Murphy's conversation in the episode still seemed to referring back to "The Boone Identity" which was originally written as ep 4, not ep 2.

Debet, (sorry I'm too lazy to go back a page and quote) the difference is Murphy of the books was never in denial about the supernatural (I keep wanting to capitalize that word) existing, but instead was simply not aware of how deep the rabbit hole went. Their book conversation was more "I know I've been kind of vague and less than truthful with you on occaisions, because knowing everything would put you in danger, but me not coming clean is pissing you off AND putting you in danger, so here's how it all works." And her reaction was pretty much "Well, crap. Oh, and the White Council is a bunch of dicks."

I think the problem with the scene, is they haven't really shown Harry and Murphy's friendship in the series. They bicker and banter and obviously like each other, but it doesn't come across as any deeper than that.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

You know how in the LotR movies they took lines and reappropriated them? It felt like that. Like it wasn't even necessarily between Harry and Murphy originally.

they haven't really shown Harry and Murphy's friendship in the series

They really haven't. In the scene where she's questioning him about his uncle, and he makes the comment about talking about it with a close friend, my thought was, "She not? Oh. That was supposed to be a dig."
