'Never Leave Me'


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.

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

Is Hex starting again? I totally watch that freaky, crazy show. Useless lesbian ghost and all.

I'm plowing through a backlog on TiVo, so I think it's well underway.

It's just...call me old school and by the book, but what the fuck are the ghost rules? Thelma eats, changes clothes, uses a video camera...what's the down side to dead, again? It's such a messy show...and I'm on my second episode of the night.

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 can't even jazzhand the using a video camera thing.

Oh, but she can only wear clothes from the dead. Conveniently, lots of fashion forward dead in the Hex 'verse, apparently. That's? Kinda a rule?

I suspect the ghost rules were made after the third or fourth bongload. And some peyote.

Hey, an ep starts in 20 minutes and then there's another after.

I should really scan the listings and see what else I am missing on BBCA now.

Hot shirtless boy wearing many necklaces is the kid? That's ... confusing.

Clothes from the dead...well, that's something.

There was a long shot in the last ep I watched that showed an empty swing, and on closeup there was a ghost in it. But that doesn't begin to explain the huge amount of object manipulation she constantly does, not to mention all the conversations with her in public.

Oy.

Oy.
I'll see your Oy and raise you and Bzuh?

I'm just wishing she'd change her ghosty hair. I hate it. Find a dead stylist or something.

And shirtless UsedToBeBabyTehHell? boy looks much better shirtless. I had to rewatch the beginning of this ep to check. And, yes, I prefer shirtless.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Hey, guys. Watched the SG finales Friday, then got really surprised when there was almost no discussion here. Anyway, my thoughts....

Atlantis: Well....wouldn't it be nice if the writers took the time to set up ongoing background threads so we didn't have to be anvilled with this is the theme and confilct for this episode in the teaser? *Sigh* Aside from that, it was pretty good, although knowing Torri Higgenson's change in status made the bit at the end with Weir annoying. And I must have missed some episodes, when did Jewel Staite show up?

SG1: I pretty much agree with what others said above about the non-interesting tedium and the correctness of the ending but....There's something interfering with my enjoyment, and it's called "The Locket". It says an awful lot that Farscape can do this in a throwaway episode and make it (IMHO) so much better. Oh well.

You didn't miss anything. This was her introduction.

I hate a lot of previouslies, since they give away so much about the episode.

I also think Weir was handled very clunkily--all of a sudden she's ready to quit, after going toe-to-toe with the military and the IOA so many times in the past? Bad writing, people! Bad writing!

Art Crawl!!!

I have a feeling that Hex is near the end of the second season. Uh, I don't know why they don't just kill the bad guy.

Ella didn't even try. And then the next thing you know Malachi is actually eating souls and killing things. And Thelma! They made Thelma go bad, but in a weaselly unfun way.

Also - I'm thinking of the lessons about sex that DA teaches. The one that season 2 of Hex teaches seems to be: have sex with the boy and completely lose all your power AND turn him evil.

Nice.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

According to an old website that purported to be run by his sister, JP's eyes are blue-green. I can't find the site now.

A really awesome murky green hazel, yeah. Blue green? I don't think so. I will have to do more research. Because I am a giver.

Forget the three or four bongloads, the show is obviously doing way too much LSD.

It's a good thing I don't watch it for the plot. Actually, why do I watch this show? It's like crackfic but with pictures.
