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.
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!)
Mr. Tori Spelling ain't bad-looking.
Not that I ever watched "Tori and Dean: Inn Love." Nope.
Don't worry, Beverly, I think there was a petition to save you.
And that always works.
Huh, what? Call my name?
Maybe we should call Eureka!Beverly "Barlowe" instead? Although this mistaken I.D. still amuses me.
I don't have one of those names that comes up in coversation very often, so when it does, my ears go up. Out. Yeah, exactly like Uncle Martin's antennae. Freaky, you should watch.
And that always works.
Sh'yeah. Me, holding my breath. No, wait--
Go ahead and squeak. I think my proclivity for spoilers is why I'm fine watching this season in such a jumble.
Oh, I missed this. Well, it's just that CSPWDT sets things up for, you know Croatoan and Hunted. And stuff later. And Bloodlust sets things up for Hunted. And, stuff. But if you're at all a Sam girl, the middle of CSPWDT will make you wibble, and if you're a Dean girl, the epilogue scene will keel you ded. Ded. I'm still ded from it. Not as ded as from AHBL 1&2, but ded enough.
I don't watch Eureka yet, and Night Shifter (which is how the credits spelled it, I swear, even if my iTunes purchase separated the words) hurt me plenty.
The phone call was fierce like whoa! I didn't mean to imply the episode didn't deserve to hurt me. It did. It earned it. It just hurt even more, because I felt very attached to Ronald because he's Vincent (and Ronald's death hurt me more because he's Vincent).
I really thought the federal agents in Night Shifter were going to turn out to be hunters, who'd come to rescue Sam and Dean under the guise of arresting them. Boy, was I wrong. I'm also a sucker for Lord High King Bad Vids -- because "Renegade" totally worked for me, at the end.
I love how Sam just had such contempt for Ronald while Dean was so simpatico. This is where I want to pull apart the characters, but I just can't. Oh, except to say I love that Dean is the "tough" one, but that he wears a huge, "KICK ME HERE" sign right on his heart, and all you have to do is talk two sentences of smack about his daddy to break him. Ooof.

Or his little brother.
On a lighter note, Sam's reactions to the bank teller's oohing and ahhing over Dean the Big Brave Hero were made of awesome.

Yup. I love Dean--he's so brittle and tough outside, but hit it right and it fractures, and then it's all marshmallow inside. And so much with the competence.
I know he's the Best Big Brother Ever, but I'm kind of glad my big brothers are not nearly so broken.
I have no big brothers! Just an annoying little one.

Dean has tremendous empathy for small children and outsiders. He's not as good with normal humans, with their various layers of socialization and strange customs.
Sam's better at the latter. He's got the toolset for normal human interaction, and has paid attention to the things Dean's never bothered with in that respect.
He does have a squishy gooey center. Like an m&m that got left in a warm place.
