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 else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh. That doesn't sound good. Hope he gets better.

NYT positive review of Reaper

OK, now looking forward to this, especially with Ray Wise as the Devil.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Ironically, I've recognized Michele Fazekas's name in opening credits for years -- I think she worked as a co-EP or something on Homicide, and then on one of the L&Os -- and it's only in reading that article and finding out she did scutwork for The X-Files that I realized I started recognizing her name because one of the Victims of the Week on that show is named Fazekas. (I think it's one of the first 5 episodes of the first season.)

Yes, hello, onomastic autism.

Sadly, BBCA has informed TV shows on dvd that Torchwood isn't coming out on dvd in the US in January -- they still think it's coming out in the first quarter of 2008, just not January.

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

especially with Ray Wise as the Devil.

This is what tipped me from "Oh, that looks cool." to "OMG WANT TO SEE THIS NOW!"

Nice - most complete Torchwood promo I've seen and it's on Scifi. Meanwhile, I saw a very nice Dr. Who (season 3) promo on BBCA.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I love the look on Ten's face when he saw the Dalek. They make such a mockery of everything he's lost and sacrificed. Tenant bristles well.

Yes, he does.

And Ewww - human/dalek. Icky.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Back to Eureka:

I'm on the not liking Abby much too train as well. (Plus, Zoe's underage, so shouldn't they have some kind of custody agreement? Not just, "hey, I'm taking her now.")

For a therapist with a doctorate, Abby is definitely short on coping skills I was learning how to teach people as an undergraduate (never completed the degree, so that's even more telling against Abby's skillz) - I believe Daniel had to rewind a bit of the show after I ranted long and hard about how Abby should have been saying, "Ok, I can see something important is going on, and our conversation about Zoe has to wait. So let's make an appointment to sit down and talk - let's say when all this is over plus 45 minutes to fill out the paperwork. If you skip that, you'd better hope Lupo's as good as you think she is, because I'm betting she won't be able to find your body." I'm also terribly curious as to why Abby would adamantly blind herself to how appropriate it is to include Zoe in these negotiations, as she is 16. At which age, family court judges are generally inclined to allow the minor a huge say in custody agreements. Ah well, the cobbler's children have no shoes.

I'm not taking this too seriously, am I?
