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.

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

If only, Matt. If only.

Dresden: Huh, okay. The emotional denoument didn't really pack a punch, did it? Which is too bad because I suspect PB of having more to deliver.

I thought that Harry's murder of his uncle would be more premeditated than that. Like, I kept waiting for the cutaway shot after he and Justin first greeted that would show he was getting ready to murder him. Instead it's this semi-impassioned action that doesn't ring quite true.

I did like the stuff at the end with Bob, though. Clever ghost-man.

And particularly, I thought the scene with Murphy at the end was played well. If only because I like that there is a friendship there, a kinship, and Harry really does believe that Murphy makes him a better person; but it's not sexually or OTPish at all. It just a very strong friendship that happens to occur between a man and a woman, that--for once, like, ever (XF, anyone?)--isn't being lead down shippy paths. I appreciate that, and I don't think you see enough of it.

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

But, airing in the US means region 1 dvds with all the stuff from the UK airing back in.

The two aren't related -- home video is a separate department from the channel.

There goes my internal rationalization for why it was okay to ahem Torchwood. Please don't ask me about my internal rationalization for why it was okay to ahem Dr. Who.

You were saving yourself from the commercial reversioning! (Which I guess doesn't apply if you have BBCA On Demand, but um...yeah.)

Exactly, but they were much less likely to make or sell region one dvds w/o the show airing in the US.

I guess they could have made region 1 dvds to sell to Canada. Did it air in Canada already?

Also, BBCA airs Footballers Wives, does Torchwood really have as much that "couldn't" be aired here as Footballers Wives does?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Heads up Dresden Files watchers!

According to TV Guide Online, SciFi is showing two eps back to back on April 8 and April 15. A rerun airs at 9 and the new ep at 10.(Which puts it opposite Blood Ties. Grrr. Don't they realize people work on Monday mornings. Ah, well...dueling VCRs it is)

I guess Jake 2.0 didn't work in that spot. . . and they are clearly hoping to prevent people from going to Blood Ties.

Well, at least TAR's schedule won't mess it up as much.

Yeah, yeah! That's the ticket. Whew. Buffistas to the rationalization rescue.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

This is not the case for Life on Mars (grrrrrrr)

I wonder if the fact that there is a US version of the show being created means no US release of the British dvds of Life on Mars.
