I just had Beef Barley soup at the cafeteria. I can't be the only eater, or they would cease serving it.

Welp, now I'm going to the store for b&b soup. And crusty bread.

Beef barley is delist, and I grew up with a wonderful cook of a mother who never forced us to eat things we didn't like (which was rare).

An UnAmerican detective series (which has been broadcast in the USA) had a scene with the lead character contemplating a snowy landscape with a pistol in his mouth. Spoiler: the star character of the series chose not to kill himself. Also, to perpetuate a stereotype, the show was indeed Swedish.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Apparently Elementary is also trying to get moved into Boxed Set.

long range surveillance mosquito, indeed.

Ok so they are bumblebee sized. And stay up for only minutes at a time. Still not sure that small of an exaggeration takes it into boxed set territory.

Anyway they've had wilder plot devices. Remember the mathematical formula that would make most security systems obsolete? Or the chaos plan that would lead to the end of the world by killing one child?

Except that packing in long range telemetry and the ability to also carry a video signal, and a dose of quick-acting poison able to kill a man, as well as guidance and power source, are incredible hurdles that will have to be overcome before anything near the mechanical mosquito will be practical.

We are talking on major advances in power storage and consumption that are still years away.

I'm neither here nor there, but does handwavium and bad/fake science count as Boxed Set material? Or is it actually legit fake science that is the stuff of science fiction that is forming the backbone of the show, or is at least a consistent element.? I'm also thinking of Due South where ghost dads were the extent of Boxed Set material.
