So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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.

What is even happening?

I had profound character commentary to make after seeing "Night Shifter" and "Everybody Loves a Clown" and possibly "Playthings," but "Houses of the Holy" won't let my brain work.

Oh, but I remember "Night Shifter" hurt me than it deserved, because Ronald = Vincent (from Eureka).

It just occurred to me that Cindy hasn't seen CSPWDT. Now I have to stuff my fingers in my mouth or sit on my hands or something to keep from squeaking at her.

Go ahead and squeak. I think my proclivity for spoilers is why I'm fine watching this season in such a jumble.

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

Hee. Nice, Julie. You reassure and then re-wobble me all in the same post.

You need to watch CSPWDT, Cindy. All the way through, yes.

I can't believe how distressed I am that you've missed the arciness of S2. I just want to shout "Stop, stop! Don't watch any more till you catch up and have all the backstory!"

But I'm a nosy, bossy Bitch, and so will cram my fingers in my mouth or sit on my hands and not, you know, actually insist.

Because books.

The end of Night Shifter is just ... Oh, BOYS.

Yeah, this shows really lends itself to articulate discussion.

"I like Beverly"

"Sorry, who is she?"

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ah... Yes. Thanks for explaining the supposed heresy. I'll admit, that Dean has hooked me harder and faster than most fictional characters ever have.

I'm not missing it, though. I mean, I'm not getting it as intended, but watching it out of order like this sort of highlights it. I watch a second half episode, then a first half episode, and go, "WHOA, they set that up back then. On purpose."

I can't not watch the new (well, reruns, but newer than 2.08) episodes as the CW re-airs them. I don't have that kind of restraint.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, but I remember "Night Shifter" hurt me than it deserved, because Ronald = Vincent (from Eureka).

I don't watch Eureka yet, and Nightshifter (which is how the credits spelled it, I swear, even if my iTunes purchase separated the words) hurt me plenty.

It was the show on its A+ game, and I think it may be Edlund's best hour of TV ever. (I've thought this since first air, despite the fact that they'd done something in either lighting or makeup that made Ackles look way prettier than he normally does on the show, which had the effect of pulling me out of the story periodically. Rewatch, where the brain-blanking effect was dulled by familiarity, only solidified this opinion.)

Also? Works just as well frame-by-frame. Especially the phone conversation.

Mrgfrllghp! Um, that is, I'm just happy you're watching and discovering Winchester love. However you go about doing it Wrong! Wrong! Hssst! Hush!, that you've drunk the Kool-Aid is the important part. Another glass, perhaps?

Julie, Plei used to do the same thing to me--she'd be talking about, was it 90201? as the Bev, and it gave me whiplash sometimes. Huh, what? Call my name?

Yep! 90210 was called "The Bev" at Evergreen, back in the day.

The Cooper Point Journal (the TESC paper) had a regular column called "The Bev Report."

It was Olympia. We made our own fun.

And yes, I do recall a mass of the campus chanting along, "Donna Martin Graduates!"

Our dorm room was PACKED for that.

(Hey, I can almost connect to boxed set, seeing as Mr Tori Spelling was on due South and all!)
