I think Ned's father's real name must be Hank Summers.

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.
Want to talk Razor. Can't.
There's always the spoiler thread...
Daniel - wasn't that fun?
I wonder what other tv and movie Super-verse people they can bring into Smallville.
Well, they have already had Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, and Dean Cain. Oh yes, and Annette O'Toole
Hmm, they need Terri Hatcher. Maybe Gene Hackman as Grampaw Luthor. K Kallen would be neat. Gerard Christopher would be a tough sell. He played Superboy for 71 episodes and then originally cast as Clark in Lois and Clark, and then they decided they wanted someone "new" to acting and cast Dean Cain. Stacy Haiduk played Lana in the Superboy series.
Lots of alum still alive. Noel Neill and Jack Larson from The Adventures of Superman (1950's). Oh! John Shea. Luthor in L&C.
Re. Ned not being able to eat any of his pies:
So is he all, "first chew, everlasting flavour! Second chew, rotten flesh, forever!" with every fruit that he eats? Or just the ones that were rotten to start with that he revived to freshness?
The notion that Ned won't be able to eat any of his scrumptious-looking pies he make is almost as sad as his not being able to touch Digby and Chuck. (I'm developing a habit of baking a pie every Wednesday to be consumed along with PD. I'm having a left over slice of a cranberry apple pie right now AIFG!)
Or just the ones that were rotten to start with that he revived to freshness?
This is what I would think since he's able to touch people he hasn't brought back.
But isn't all picked fruit dead, even if it's not rotten? I mean, once it's off the tree, what's keeping it alive?
are plucked and harvested fruits of all kinds technically "dead", so even fresh strawberries would be unedible to Chuck? I'm having an icky vision of Ned biting into a burger and getting a mouth of rotting cow meat...
*shudders*
Um, let's not count processed foods and "freshly dead" meats, fruits and veggies into the equation. Gross!
So, does Ned always use rotten fruit, or just sometimes when things go bad? Cuz he's paying for the freshly planted window boxes in his kitchen where he saves on getting possibly free rotten strawberries.
(although I'm pretty sure that with the flame-throwing horsie, these are things we're not supposed to think about. I don't think PD is that show. Still, fun! (and gross))
eta dead fruit x-post!

Chuck could just make his pies!
But yeah...
But isn't all picked fruit dead, even if it's not rotten? I mean, once it's off the tree, what's keeping it alive?
This. Bringing a fruit back from rotten implies that it dies sometime after it comes off the tree.
And by that theory, what does he eat? I could foresee meat being a problem, if everything that was ever dead ever comes back to life when he touches it.
eta: Juliebird! Weird meat x-post!
I'm thinking Ned's meals are all heavily seasoned with handwavium.
