I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

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

Hmm. The vampire whose jaw got ripped off had been plucking teeth from nubile chicks and attaching them to his mask--also off camera.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Tom, if I read the Venture Bros. white font, will it make me need a whole bottle of vodka in order to watch? Or just feel like I've powerslammed one after I have watched?

OK, the Blade stuff is just gross. Ew, ew, ew.

You've more or less summed up all of Season 2.

I think that would require vastly more similes and metaphors revolving around halucinogenic drugs.

Oh! Daniel and I saw a blond mannequin head in a store on Saturday. The place had it on some sort of turn-table arrangement on the counter, and By Gum! it did look like Colin. There were also many electronic components, various electic motors, dentist chairs, marbles and baby doll limbs for sale there.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Catching up with Blink. "You overestimate me." Bwhahahaha!

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.

Watched BSG Season 1 (and the mini-series. Didn't realize it was included on the Season 1 box set, but glad it was since my gf hadn't seen it yet) this weekend with my girlfriend. We both enjoyed it (despite me being spoiled from reading watch and post stuff and discussion here) and I just ordered Season 2.0 and pre-ordered 2.5. Hopefully she and I can find some free time once the DVDs arrive to watch them before Season 3 starts up.

Starbuck still bears an uncanny resemblance to GF's former roommate, but she's now Starbuck in my head and not some odd doppleganger of a person I know, which is a good thing.

One of GF's current roommates can't stand Baltar, but I can't help but be bemused by his antics, even if logically I know they'd all be better off if he actually had something resembling a conscience.

I absolutely love the cast and characters, barring Tigh's wife, who I'm sure we're meant to dislike, but she's not even dislikable in an interesting way. Lee feels a little too much like generic hero guy, but he's still likeable.

I do find it a little hard to believe that the Galactica has pilots pulling things like security detail for conferences and such, when the pilots are one of their least-expendable resources, but I understand on a show it's a lot easier to have major characters involved in stuff like this rather than creating new characters to fulfill the role from both a writing and financial perspective.

The number of medium-build, dark haired 20-something males in the cast can also be confusing, as it's hard to keep track of a lot of the pilots and techs that aren't main characters at times. Vipers blow up and I feel like I would care more if I remembered who exactly it was that just bought it.

The increasing number of empty seats in the pilots' briefing room is kind of chilling, though.

Definitely anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new DVDs.

On a side note, the little production company bits at the end are seriously cracked-out. Nothing except the Grr Argh has made me want to sit through the end credits of a show.

So I'm watching some S5 SG-1, and even though I skipped Meridian, even Revelations is getting me all misty.

Anyone have any theories on why Daniel was so antsy/cranky/pissy in Failsafe (the Armageddon knock-off)? Everyone's all snippy with each other in that ep, and I don't get it.

(Though I won't get into how uneven the end of S5 seems, but I have a feeling that has a lot to do with the sudden departure of MS...)

You've more or less summed up all of Season 2.

And now having seen the ep in question, I would just like to say, there ain't enough booze on the planet to make me drunk enough to truly appreciate this week's Venture Brothers.
