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.

Yes!

And also - WTF - why is NBC determined to burn them off? (Answer: probably the reality crap they put up instead of Chuck is getting them better ratings. Soon, they will only have reality tv and L&O and er.)

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

Not only that, but with an hour gap between them for some "reality" atrocity. If I'm home and watching (as opposed to just DVRing), that's when I'll be catching up on last night's TDS/TCR.

BSG appears to be doing the Clip show thing too (from the Futon Critic):

Sci Fi has ordered a pair of "Battlestar Galactica" specials as a build up to the show's return in April.

The half-hour efforts, dubbed "Battlestar Galactica: Revisited" and "Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomenon," will air back-to-back on Friday, March 28 starting at 10:00/9:00c.

Oh and look at the the films we have to look forward to in March:

And finally, look for the usual round-up of original movies - including "Ogre" (Saturday, March 8), "The Hybrid" (Sunday, March 16) and "Rock Monster" (Saturday, March 22) - all at 9:00/8:00c.

"Rock Monster" should have a theme sung to the tune of "Rock Lobster." And "The Hybrid" took me to a BSG movie place.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Rock Monster" should have a theme sung to the tune of "Rock Lobster."

Plus that new teen dance craze, "Do the Mansquito."

Or, "Land of 1000 Mansquitos".

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

Or "Mansquito" to the tune of "Maneater".

(I suspect it would be wicked easy to filk, but I fear the earworm) ...come on baby. Don't fear the earworm.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Or "Mansquito" to the tune of "Maneater".

you don't even have to change the lyrics much:

You only come out at night
lean and hungry type
Nothing to do
You've seen it all before

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

OMG, I am not sure I can resist a movie called "Ogre."

Found at the IMDB:

Hewlett-Packard has signed a deal with Sony Pictures to turn out DVDs from the studio's library whenever customers request them, the Los Angeles Times reported today (Thursday). The deal will allow consumers to order movies that ordinarily would not be stocked by dealers because they are too obscure or too old. HP indicated that it expects to sign similar deals with other studios. "We're hoping this provides another option to make available products that wouldn't necessarily garner widespread retail shelf space," Jason Spivak, head of strategic development at Sony Home Entertainment, told the Times.Added Doug Warner, head of HP's digital content business, "If studios can sell more catalog than previously, they can generate more money."

Hope for Farscape fans - for decent season 1 dvds - if this applies to tv as well as movies.
