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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Bionic woman:
The creepy boyfriend is dead! Wheee! I spent most of the (not-so-great) pilot wishing he'd drop dead already. By the time we got to the bit where he was talking about naming a son Coltrane and a daughter Billie when Jamie wasn't even sure if she wanted to keep the baby (man, what a pretentious douche, on top of being a creepy, controlling freak), I was thinking that a simple gunshot wound would have been too good for him. He should be eaten by a mountain bear! I was gonna skip the ep. 2, but I might keep watching since they had the good sense to kill him off.
On a more pleasant note, Pushing Daisies was just as lovely as the time I watched the leaked pilot for the first time. I'd like to declare, in case there might be any confusion down the road, that Lee Pace is MINE. We're all clear on that, right? Right.
I missed PD, so I'll have to go find it. Am now watching Bionic Woman. I've seen the pilot, and I thought this was the second show, but now I'm confused about an apparent character death that I'm pretty sure didn't happen in the pilot. Hmmm.
ETA: Ha! Ex-post with Vonnie. So, then, he's dead. Do we know how? I mean, I'm glad he's gone, too, but I just want to know how. ETAA: Oops. I didn't read carefully enough. I did miss ep2.
I hope Swoozie and Helen aren't just in the pilot.
They aren't. I hear they figure prominently in a future episode.
There are so many great lines in the PD pilot. I love "Bitch,
I
was in proximity!"
OMG, I fucking love PD!! Love, love, love! I wasn't nuts about Chuck, at first, but she grew on me quickly. I hope they can sustain the combo of cute, funny and morbid. And that all those folks with Nielson boxes like CFM.
So, then, he's dead. Do we know how?
Starbot (tm TWOP) shot him in the pilot through the window and he was being rushed into an ambulance. I guess this was a way of showing us that he didn't make it. (Hurrahhh! /bloodthirsty)
Will ANTHROS. So that's why they are called Anthrocytes! Great. I hate him even more now. (Well, OK, that was probably named after Badger, I mean, his father.)
OMG that's hilarious - I didn't remember that he got shot in the pilot. So, this is ep2 then? Clearly I'm not precessing well tonight. But, in any case, yay dead idiot!
Starbot. Excellent.
OK, I'm watching BW on TiVo-delay, and the "consulting producer" credit just scrawled over with the name "Darin Morgan" after it. DARIN MORGAN? The "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" Darin Morgan? Holy shit! I thought he would be, you know, either a billionaire somewhere or in a mental institution by now. This show just got itself a couple of more episodes from me.
On the other hand, I heard Glen, his brother, got kicked off the show as the showrunner because he was going over budget, so who knows if Darin will stick around? Hmmm.
I missed PD, so I'll have to go find it.
It's repeating this Friday. I've got my DVR set for it in case this turns out to be another Wonderfalls in terms of episodes aired (but ABC seems to be a little less yank-happy than Fux, so I hold out hope of at least a short run if it's not a sleeper).
It's repeating this Friday.
Oh, good! Thanks.
I'm liking Isaiah Washington's character in BW.
So, I DVRd the later episode of EUREKA last night, and (I'm guessing due to FRELLING wrestling) it started 6 minutes late. I saw Beverly about to zap herself in the machine. Can someone give me the synopsis of the rest of the episode?
