Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Buffy ,'Showtime'


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 then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I worry more about how Ned deals with his fingerprints being on nearly every murder victim in town. Post-crime, of course, but still.

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

The eggs were never animated though, were they?

Make Pie Guy touch all the eggs. The ones that don't turn into chickens, you know they're kosher.

Then, of course, you could cook the chickens and eat them, except if you served them to Pie Guy his first bite would turn them into an omelette.

Man, lock that guy in a kitchen with Alton Brown, and we've got a sitcom on our hands!!

Supermarket eggs are unfertilized, which I think takes them out of the dead/alive spectrum altogether.

But hey, shouting that while serving them in the dining hall sure made breakfast a lot more fun. I always loved it when we served veal...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Bwah! This conversation is cracking me up. This is such a Buffista conversation.

Huh. SGA is kinda creeping me out right now.

Oh, Ronon. How I love thee.

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

Okay--I have a PD backlog on my TiVo, but he has aging powers as well as killing ones? I mean, that's what freshening the fruit implies, or is the position that the freshest a fruit can taste is before it leaves the plant? And therefore it just doesn't translate to poultry?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I really liked this week's SGA as it played with the "Memento" concept in fun ways. Just LOVED Rodney writing on his arms and hands.

ita, not aging powers, just undeading. The freshening that been shown is just making a rotted fruit not rotted. "Alive again", as the recipe in the online comic says.

SGA: my new plan is recording and reading here for a tidbit of enjoyment, and I rather enjoyed that ep. Although with everyone knowing there was oncoming amnesia, why they couldn't have shown the characters being smart and at least have more of them creating reminders for themselves (or Carter issuing a mass-produced pamphlet that they could read and disregard). But, logic aside, I kinda enjoyed it. I'm curious, was Lorne and the other soldiers able to hang onto their last command because of the stims (which, huh?), or was it some slanted commentary on military personnel?
