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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Whatsername's sister sure was keeping them for herself.

Right, but she got her drugs from one of Jordan's homeless dealers. And while she's been presented as a character with repeatedly poor judgment, there was also a line around the block behind her.

I think the Isabelle-promeicin is pure enough that it takes fewer doses to develop powers -- it looked like everyone lined up on the street was getting three or four syringes taped together. Either Diana didn't get enough of the synthetic version, or they forgot that that was a plotline.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But that's as much as Jordan was giving to each homeless person. So where did the person who handed it to Diana's sister get so much?

I'm not so concerned about Diana getting powers. More wondering about the inevitablity of Maia's visions. Is she infallible, or can her visions be averted? Suddenly I'm not remembering any that didn't come true, save the "ugly" one, and I might be remembering that wrong.

Was it? It looked to me like they were getting much more, so that they could distribute it to others (that's why they were also getting travel money).

I think the ugly vision did come true -- when Diana was in the hospital, her skin was pretty bad. I chalked up the difference between her actual skin and Maia's picture to the limitations of the crayon box.

I was confused at the time (and no longer have the ep) about how much promycin it'd take to change someone, since he seemed to be giving out four syringes tops.

Did they clear up how many doses of the new stuff it'd take?

Okay, that I didn't remember. Thanks.

Maybe April went round to a number of different homeless promycin dealers.

Possible. I just didn't see any of the homeless people given enough syringes for a line of people. Certainly not that line.

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.

Speaking of Supernatural and promos, who the hell is in charge of CW's print ad/billboard campaign. So far I've seen promos for Smallville and Supernatural, and both feature extreme closeups of the male leads with incredibly stupid expressions on their faces. I fail to see how this would encourage anyone to watch either program.

The CW crap? I don't know!!

All that "Free to be" stuff -- really, really lame.
