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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

a BIG touch of Tim Burton (via Barry Sodendfeld, I guess).

It reminded me of Big Fish.

The only thing that bugged (and it's the littlest of quibbles as I lovedlovedloved the show) was Jim Dale's repeated use of "z years, y months, x days, w hours and v minutes." I hope they drop that going forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Lee Pace is the MOST ADORABLE THING EVER OMG.

Yeah, the over explication was a bit much, but I hope they keep Jim Dale as narrator (and, possibly, introduce him as a character at some point, perhaps).

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Lee Pace is the MOST ADORABLE THING EVER OMG.

Isn't he just? When he looked at Chuck in the funeral home and said in the softest voice, "that's not weird. It's symmetrical" with this adorable shy smile, I swear, it broke something in me. I think it might have been one of my ovaries exploding. (What?)

I also loved the scene at Olive's apartment. The height difference cracks me up something fierce. Call me girly, but I love that Lee Pace is taaaaaaallll. He's a tall, cool, lovely drink of water. (And Olive's robe matches the wallpaper! Heh.)

On BW front: Someone on the show clearly is a Wilco fan, 'cause I heard both "Sky Blue Sky" and "What Light" during the episode. Also, they played the Noisettes during the training montage! Alas, the rest of the show failed to be exciting.

I'm only watching BW for reasons of nostalgia. Hopefully, it will be canceled soon so I don't have to keep TiVoing it out of pity.

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

Darin Morgan? I thought he would be, you know, either a billionaire somewhere or in a mental institution by now.

I was under the impression that, in fact, he'd been diagnosed with something pretty severe (bipolar, schizophrenia, like that), but a quick google isn't turning up anything definitive. Anyway, I think he's not a billionaire.

(Writing for television is probably among the slower ways to become a billionaire, after working at Bertucci's and advertising your putting-together-IKEA-furnitute skills on Craigslist.)

Art Crawl!!!

I loved PD too! It's sooo lovely and fractured fairy talesque and yeah, very, very Big Fish.

Lee Pace is adorable!

BW - has definitely improved but is still not that good. But you guys realize that it is beloved of the Network and will never be cancelled? BELOVED. They are already talking spin off with Isaiah Washington.

Oh and I loved seeing that one guy - you know - the Wheelchair Rugby Dude from FNL. (See, stealing BSG AND FNL folks one after another.)

Pushing Daisies is my new favorite. Charm, quirk, and good acting. And I totally agree they need to dial down the narration a tad (but not eliminate it).

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

Pushing Daisies was a little too charming for me to love, but I did enjoy it. I suspect they'll be killing people for laughs, which always goes down well.

Lee Pace is totally who John Cusack should have grown up to be.

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

The only thing that bugged (and it's the littlest of quibbles as I lovedlovedloved the show) was Jim Dale's repeated use of "z years, y months, x days, w hours and v minutes." I hope they drop that going forward.

Yeah, that was my big complaint too.
