Yes to Byrne's solo.. especially because he's a pro musician. But I wish the rest of the episode had been up to it.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.

I don't think I saw that Xena episode.
Two episodes, actually. But I remember one being a lot better than the other.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The thing that reaaallly bugged me was the volume of lead balloons they launched.
The musical interlude with the heads of the other houses, for instance. When that was going on I got all, 'It's a pandemic!' panicky. But no. No follow through.
YES. yes.

I think the first had original music and the second was all covers. I thought the one that used original music was better.

Didn't the second have the Joxer music video sequence? That was a thing of beauty.

Okay, so, Due South. I've always seen it in the tag for this thread, but I've never seen an episode of it before. The complete series is currently available on Amazon for $16.49. I'm tempted to get it since I normally love most things that Buffistas love. Why do you guys love it so much? And I've always been curious why it's included in Boxed Set since the description doesn't seem Sci Fi/Fantasy?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not a huge spoiler or anything to tell you the factor of it that's fantastical--do you want to know? If so, highlight below:
Basically, ghosts are real. Fraser sees the ghost of his father.
Other than that, it's straight up buddy cop with a heart. And a deaf dog.

Once Upon a Time - with this episode, Dr. Jiminy has rocketed past Hot Sheriff to become my favorite character.
