'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Something about the last half of "Journeyman" grabbed me and I ended up liking it more than I thought I would. Tim Goodman, critic in San Fran said that the second ep is pretty good, where the second ep of "Chuck" is bad bad bad.

So I'm hanging on through the 2nd ep to make my decision. Pilots are such weird beasts that they may or may not be representative of a series.

I couldn't get into Chuck, but in all fairness I was setting up an wireless router, and technology hates me, so I was distracted. I'll give it proper watch, since y'all liked it.

I caught the last half hour or so. I didn't hate it. I see fun hijinks with not!Danny at the store

Journeyman was predictable and dull. I did appreciate that he finally managed to convince his wife. I might give it another couple episodes to see if it finds its feet.

yeah, I think so too. The ex showing up randomly is an interesting twist.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Huh. I didn't make it past the first half of Journeyman, but I'll try to catch the second half to see if I like it any better. My McKidd-love so wants it to be good, but what I saw was dull, dull, dull.

oh yeah. sheer laziness and the lack of anything else on kept me in it, and then there were some interesting bits.

I'm trying to give the new shows at least three episodes to win me, unless of course I loathe them after the first one.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

SJA adventures was very well done. More or less the same as the pilot. I'm getting tired of the Slitheen , though. They're very boring villains.

Tom, were the baby slitheen cute as they were in their picture ?

I hope we get to see SJA here. I really enjoyed the pilot.

To my eyes, the child just looked like a smaller version of the adults .

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

Now begins the debate of whether to record Reaper and watch Eureka, r vice versa. What are other people doing?
