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.

OK, I've got to go back to Disc 1, obviously. I did find the Matt Frewer thing and the practical joke in the RV. I must have not hit "Next" often enough or something. I've been all, "What deleted scenes?!??!"

Problem #2 is that I keep listening to commentaries as I'm drifting off to sleep. It's all a big weird jumble in my brain.

The thing where I grow to love a show even more on rewatch is happening to me with Eureaka in a pretty big way, too. I've decided it's because I know the characters already, so I'm more invested in them.

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

My dvds aren't here yet! Sad now.

Oh, that is hugely sad! Did you pre-order? I was actually surprised at how quickly mine showed up - way before they were supposed to.

(And crossing over from Lightbulbys, you know I ♥ you, too... for all the same reasons.)

This is my smiley face, can you see it?

No, I was stupid and broke and did not pre-order. In fact, I have *yet* to order, I just discovered, since my last order was something else...that I felt at the time was more important. How silly of me. So now, "...I'm WAIting!"

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

For me, as always, SPN likes carrots and I'm yonks behind. I'm (a little) unrepentant.

Cindy's watching SPN! Huzzah!

I think of all the lovely parts of Nightshifter, my very favorite is how damn PISSY Sam is through the whole thing. He woke up so far on the wrong side of the bed that day he was in another room.

That's why he is, weirdly, so much more dangerous than Dean.

Ohhh, this. Sam could destroy the world. And it would be really hot.

I have thoughts on the thread thing, but I'll go put them in the other place.

Because books.

He woke up so far on the wrong side of the bed that day he was in another room.

Heh.

And no, I don't know why I'm still up. I'm going to pay for this tomorrow, though.

What is even happening?

Partial Xpost with the voting thread (because I know some people interested in SPN's location won't go there):

I've eyeballed the July posts in Boxed Set. I am probably somewhat off, because it's early, and the math -- she is not my thing. That said, here's a rough idea of what we've discussed in Boxed Set over the past couple of weeks:

340 Supernatural posts

170 Eureka posts

90 Dr. Who posts

15 Kindred: The Embraced posts

15 Should-We-Have-An-SPN-Thread posts

10 Painkiller Jane posts

20 to 30 miscellaneous posts

NOTE: If there was a conversation organizing a Watch & Post, I counted it toward that show's total. Also, all figures are (way) approximate.

Someone might want to do a similar eyeball of a month where shows like SPN, BSG and the Stargates were all in first run. I don't know. I just know I'm not doing it.

eta...

If you take out the SPN Watch & Post posts, there are probably about 115 posts for the show. Of course, then you'd have to take out the Eureka W&P posts (which weren't marked, so I didn't get a feel for them, the way I did with SPN). Personally, I think it's senseless to discount W&P posts for either show, because W&P posting is one of the ways shows generate thread traffic.

I'm sorry you're cranky about the W&P.

See "cranky" isn't exactly the right term (this is what I get for posting and then going to bed). Especially with the links to skip the bulk of the W&P. It just seems like there's enough SPN talk to support it's own thread with a new season on the way. I was mostly hesitant in proposing because it's not a show I watch (regularly, at least), so it didn't seem like my place to propose it.

I think any decision on whether a new thread is made should be based on whether it is wanted by those who would actually use it.

I think any decision on whether a new thread is made should be based on whether it is wanted by those who would actually use it.

Which is why I didn't just go make a proposal; I asked a question. Per my last post in the voting discussion thread - if the folks who watch the show don't want the dedicated thread, this shouldn't even come to a vote, IMO.
