Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Willow ,'Beneath You'


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.

Thank you! That was driving me bananas.

not your mom's socks.

love. this. show.

singing sort of had me in the uncomfortable runtonextroomforsomethingimportant pose, but it was so campy that I rethought. Glad I did - the dancing made it even better, and weirder... first with Digby, and then with the floor guy who can't hear or see her [the staging sort of worked]. KC is awesome - she works this so-intense-and-driven-pie-shop-person friction in really funny ways. And OMG the toile.

the plot was pretty good - though not as twisty as the first one. Pure scientist done in by (WF for Jilli - hope ABC posts) evil marketing-CEO for fun and profit isn't unforseeable, but the way that they spun the characters and their secret lives around it was a good watch.

Color me awful, but I'm going to tire of the 'I killed your dad when we were 8 but can't bring myself to tell you because our relationship will fail though I really want to because otherwise our relationship will fail' thing long before the 'we can't ever touch' will wear me out. I like the tension in the second much more than the guilt-ridden impasse in the first.

starter catalog of secret lives that were hinging this ep -

    • knitting (Emerson)
  • odd banking practices with knitting (Emerson, again)
  • historical erotica collection in the cheese cellar (Aunts - want more Aunts!)
  • practically everything (Olive)
  • food - esp. PIE! (Jeanine)
  • practically everything (Ned)
  • where she keeps getting her dresses and accessories if the guys are shopping for her (Chuck)
  • language skills & ability to pickpocket ["with these things I call hands" bwah] (Chuck)
  • hidden geek ["and then I reprogrammed the card..."] (Emerson)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Still very good but they gotta stop the 15 years 4 months 2 days 17 minutes crap.

I thought that was much less overdone this week, though. I'll agree a little goes a long way.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You're probably thinking of Shelly Cole? She had a similar look but I don't think it's the same actress.

Yeah.

I was (and still am) a little unsure about the bulimia thing, but at least by the end of the episode, she was getting help.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Jeanine was on Gilmore Girls, playing someone named Juliet. [link]

She was also on Buffy once.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

the way that Lee Pace smiles in this totally swoon-inducing way everything he looks at or thinks about Chuck

Oh, teh word. I had some Lee Pace love from Wonderfalls, but here he is totally swoon-worthy. (Which I heartily approve.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This show makes me SO HAPPY.

This to the tenth power!
