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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Why don't you think that next week's show was intended to be the season ender?

I thought Robert Hewitt had said that What About Bob? was supposed to be the season ender. For a while it was listed that way on the SciFi Channel episode listing.

Vortex, where was it said that Justin was a Warden? I don't recall that.

DF: It was said in the "What About Bob?" episode that Justin was either a Warden or a member of the High Council. (Can't recall which.)

They really don't seem to like the Morningways; I'd be real surprised if they made one a Warden.

The bad guys always get the coolest names.

He was a member of the High Council. I thought that all of the members of the HC were wardens? Or am I craxy? (which is not just possible, but probable)

DF: Is it a matter of rank? I mean, you start off as a Warden and then they choose HC members from amongs the pool of Wardens?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My impression (backed up by having read no more than 3 pages of the books so far) is that it's the other way around: the High Council seem to be the movers and shakers (however they attained that position) who appoint the Wardens to enforce their policies.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

DF: I think Matt's right, having read three of the books. The Wardens are the police/enforcer arm of the Hi-C.

I think a Warden might become a Hi-C member, but (not so sure of this) a member of the Hi-C may or may not ever have been a Warden. Basing that last mostly on not being able to believe that Justin Morningway could ever have passed the vetting process to become a Warden.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

DF: how come the dragon/Not!Murphy didn't attack until it was discovered? If it was so badass that Mai was willing to sacrifice all of them to destroy it, why would the dragon bide it's time trying to get all the wizards to destroy themselves? Doesn't sound above-average for a baddie. Unless Mai would consider mass suicide a fair trade to kill a couple of vampires cuz she's just that dedicated...

I almost feel like I'm flapping my hands in the dark trying to find the water to swim in. On one hand they hit us over the head with the simple stuff "I can't find peace/They all hate me" but then leave so much grey area around other things that you could wank a dozen different backstories, one of them being "the writers just don't care that much".

/high on paint fumes and a bottle of chianti and perhaps a little depressed that there's only one ep left and I won't miss it so much if I make myself hate it/

The evil is this way?

I assumed that the dragon wanted to get rid of a few of the wardens first in order the even the odds. It may be badass but it might not have been able to kill Mai with Morgan and the 3 redshirts all defending her.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

DF wank alert: Mai said in Storm Front that there were only three wizards in Chicago powerful enough to do that heart-busting spell: her, Morgan, and Harry. Maybe the dragon attacked Mai near Dresden's place knowing that she'd probably run take shelter there, and his plan was to wipe out all three of them at once (with bonus newbie wardens). And while Mai might have known what it was, Morgan was totally surprise; he didn't know it was a dragon. So Drake (my ex's last name!) could probably have killed Mai then; but instead he let her run to Dresden's, got there first like Red Riding Hood's wolf, took Dresden's memories of Murphy to create his disguise (wank, wank) and get past his wards, and meant to off them all except Mai dropped them into hell. So he played along as long as he could (Mai apparently being the only one who could get them out of hell again), and then when outed, took the direct route. She was willing to kill them all and die herself in order to kill Drake; maybe he was willing to die to kill her, too.

I'm wanking this so hard my wrist hurts. I don't care; I love the show anyway.
