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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I thought that she was dead from the moment they entered her body and from then she was essentially a spirit animating her own corpse.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

But they entered her back during the seance, as well, didn't they? I suppose the overload of being the bridge...yeah, I could buy that.

The animating her own corpse thing seems like a cop-out to me.

Yes, but gross!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

That was interesting. Preparing for the finale of 4400, I was listening to the cast interviews over on the USA site. I had no idea that Jacqui McKenzie was Australian (or Jenni "Meghan" Baird either) and hiding an accent. Wow. She has such a strong presence that I'm reminded of someone like Katherine Hepburn. She just comes across as supremely confident.

I was also gratified to hear Joel Gretsch talk about Tom's relationship with Diana. I think because they didn't try to force something romantic with the two, the characters have a stronger friendship and perhaps ultimately a stronger bond. Just thinking out loud.

Hee! I wanted Marco to hold up his hands as the camera spun around and yell, "I did it!"

Art Crawl!!!

Hee.

Blink: I LOVED IT - and it was creepy as hell. Right up there with Hush in my book. I plan on making it regular Halloween watching.

Didn't bother with Highlander. I suppose I could catch it later on.

Also I watched Bionic Woman, Chuck and Journeyman On Demand. I found Bionic Woman strangely mushy and not hard headed enough. Does that make sense? I REALLY enjoyed Chuck - I was worried that it would be all about laughing at his ineptitude as a spy or something and that's not what it was about at all. I loved 'Buy More' and the "Large Mart" and there is something insanely wrong about seeing Adam Baldwin in that "Buy More" uniform.

Dead Zone - hey it looks like the Stillson apocalypse is back in the picture.

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

Okay, just finished watching The Source. It's like someone took a "Highlander 2??? I can totally top it." dare.

Sheesh.

I was willing to give them fight cinematography points, and then there kept being fight scenes, so that was out of the question. And then there were just no more points.

The Guardian, guy....what was he guarding? The eclipse? Of the universe?

At least Methos lived. And I love the idea of him in fringed leather, but that was more a Village People kind of a thing. But I'm flexible.

Back to the Guardian--for a while it sounded to me like all his lines were someone else's. Like, he sounded like Christopher Lambert for a while.

I dunno.

Weird.

And incredibly craptacular.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Agree with Sumi -- I enjoyed Chuck way more than Bionic Woman. Although Chuck has some goofy bits, it's no more than you'd find in a typical Buffy ep.
