You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

Did you guys watch the webisode?

I guess it goes live after Midnight on the day it comes out.

It was about 3 1/2 minutes of story plus a 30 second season 3 promo. (Well, the reality is that it's ALL a season 3 promo, isn't it?)

I will whitefont because uh. . . people need time to see it and it seems courteous at this point: I love that it starts with the Chief and Tigh and that they get right into the badness of the situation. And the redheaded pilot! (Duck, I think.) And Cally and Jammer and the Chief/Cally baby.

I heard the scene with Jabba the Hut is really extraneous.

7:00/6:00c - "Heroes" (as of September 29)

Is that the NBC show? It's going to be on Sci-Fi as well? Or did NBC make the fastest cancellation in TV history?

So SG-1/SGA is going on hiatus at end of September?

Also, I think it's kinda ridiculous that Heroes will be showing simultaneously on two networks.

They've been doing the same thing with L&O: SVU on USA Network for some time now.

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.

Well, considering I get NBC in HD and not Sci-Fi, I know which channel my DVR's going to be set for.
