A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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.

Well, RTD is a Buffy fan.

Cause he clearly stole the Polgara demon.

My love for Ianto continues to grow. I love him to the point that I've named the iPhone Ianto.

his snark was lovely. That's all I got.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Out of curiosity, Matt, did you watch the SciFi or BBC cut of the ep?

SciFi. Though from what I've heard and seen of the excised portions, they would have only solidified my opinion rather than changed it.

The evil is this way?

Seriously, did they get Joss in to write Ianto this ep? Because the snark had a Whedon-esque flair to it.

My thought, too. I know Russell Davis is a "Buffy" fan, but I've rarely seen a character getting to say that much snark outside a Mutant Enemy show. The actor delivers it well, too.

Vortex, shouldn't that be iAnto?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Did anybody watch Eli Stone after Lost this past Thursday? A co-worker recommended it and I've watched up until the opening credits so far, and hullo Johnny Lee Miller and a title card that looks awfully similar to Eureka's (back of a pretty head and a blue sky with fluffy clouds beyond).

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

I'm not sure it is a "Boxed Set" kind of show, but I watched it. It was entertaining, but I'm not sure I'd stick with it for 22 eps. Since it has only 7, it is a low commitment.

BTW, Victor Garber sings in the next ep.

Our wings are not tired.

I wasn't tempted until this. Now I might have to tune in.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

It's hard to tell at this point if it's Procedurals or Boxed Set, but visions of George Michael singing on his couch had me at Boxed Set. IJS.

It was amusing, although it didn't capture my heart, for all the JLM pretty and the inclusion of JD's brother as dear departed Dad.

It's no Raines. (Which, for all the wonderful external hallucinations, was probably not Boxed Set. Mmm, maybe grey there, too. Don't think I was around Buffistas for any Raines discussions.)

BWAH!!!

Victor Garber singing? I'll give it a shot. I am reluctant to watch it, because I feel like they will never resolve the issue of brain tumor vs. prophet. I will end up bitter and vengeful like after Quantum Leap.

Vortex,

Uh, I thought this issue was resolved in the first ep. He has an aneurysm.
