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.

Our wings are not tired.

When I notice the big jump in posts in Boxed Set it means suck and skim time. It brings a smile to my face to skim the flailing. It amuses, doesn't annoy. I may even watch the show some day.

The only time I get frustrated in this thread is when there is a lot of show discussion overlap. My brain gets confused! If SPN and Eureka add characters named Lee brain will explode. At those time a show note at the beginning of the post would be most helpful. If someone has a sudden Eureka or BSG question or comment in the midst of the flailing they should post away with a show tag.

Also, next week SciFi Friday returns! Whee!

My point about putting the name of the show in your posts is that you can then search through combined W&Ps for the show that you are talking about.

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.

I think it's more important at the start of a discussion, or when someone is posting about a different show (e.g. suddenly switching to Eureka when the most recent string of posts has been about Dresden Files).

Sometimes there is a flurry of posts on more than one show simultaneously, so there is occasional mix-n-match. If we work to develop the habit of labelling our posts, that will be less of a challenge.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

If SPN and Eureka add characters named Lee brain will explode.

How do you think I feel?

My SPN DVDs came yesterday! They're so shiny and wrapped in plastic.

They're still wrapped? You haven't unpacked them to at least watch the gag reel yet?

Scifi will be marathoning season 3 of BSG in mid-May.

The last paragraph is a bit confusing but I think that they meant to say that the 4th season will start shooting in May to be aired in early 2008.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I do tend to read through them myself (guessing at what is actually going on when somebody posts, "Oh no! Weepy alert!" or "If you make that face too much it will get stuck that way, Sam."),
a. Dean feels really, really bad.

It's like I don't even know you, P-C. Still wrapped?

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.

Article about Dresden Files:

While I agree with some of the author's points, I think he's being overly critical in complaining about the lack of Harry's various allies. One, Harry built up his allies over time and Two, the last thing you want to do with a brand new series is have a constant parade of new characters that the viewers have to try and keep track of. I'd love to see Michael, Thomas, the Alphas and have Harry deal with the fae as well, but I'd rather they be involved slowly so each can get the amount of respect they deserve.

Heee. I came home late after seeing Grindhouse, and then I had all these errands to run today before seeing The Namesake, and I just got back, and...I will gag soon enough!
