Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) 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.
It's so refreshing to think somebody's actually driving the boat!
My only beef is whether to be mad at John or the writers. Because as much as taught the boys, as ingrained as certain habits and skills have become through his training, the idea that he never considered what would happen if he died -- which, hello, fighting demons, short shelf life -- bugs. Would he really never have mentioned the Roadhouse as a resource, or some of the hunters aside from Bobby? It seems like an incredible oversight for John, or a foolish hope that they won't need to know any of it, neither of which fit my perception of him.
Also, given the amount of people who had apparently met and/or worked with him, he really did leave those boys alone an awful lot. And that just ... makes my heart hurt for them.
1) Copy the link from the post number of the last post. You're on a PC, right-- you would get it by right clicking the number, which should give you an option to copy the link location or something along that phrase.
2) Go back to your first post, and edit it to say "this is the first post in the post and watch-- to go to the end, click here" or some such, and then paste in the link location.

Me too. I think John did the best he could, and better than some would, but he also managed to fuck up his sons a lot.
I've always held the opinion that John didn't tell his boys about other hunters, other than the few John considered friends, or the Roadhouse, because he hoped that when they tracked down "the" demon, their hunting days would be over. They'd kill it, and go home.
That they were all considerably younger when he made that decision I've no doubt. And that he never reconsidered because it wasn't relevant. Also, knowing what he knew about Sam, it's likely that he wanted to keep Sam under the radar of other hunters, who might feel about him as Gordon did.
Just my take on it.
Okay, it's did. Thanks for the tutorial!
Do we want to try Tuesday at 7:00 next week to see if that works better for people, or would that interfere with the Buffy post and watch for anyone?
Never mind Did the link instructions make sense, Beverly?
I can kind of see that, Bev.

Although this is saddening in another way, because it's so naive.
I'm the only one w&Ping Buffy. And uh, I'm going to continue watching Buffy at 9 Central. (MI-5 at 7 & 8 until Eureka starts.)
I can do Tuesday at seven board time, yeah. I got way beind on the Buffy watch and posts, and I'm sort of not in the mood lately. I've seen them all so often. I'm hoping for an Angel W&P at some point myself.
They did, and it seems to work fine, Lee. If anybody notices anything weird, let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Would 8:00 be better or worse for folks? I can do later on weekdays.
I reallyreally want to watch CSPWDT right now, and zzzzzip right through to Croatoan. I've been jonesing for Croatoan for days, now. But I'll be good and restrain myself.
