Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape  

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

That's, like, archvillain power.

There was much speculation on Kryptonsite that Seth magnetic mutant boy was supposed to be Magneto and I have read spoilers that indicate that another Xmen character will be on this season. I am now not recalling which one - I think the power is voice related - Syren? And Clark spoiler that the episode with the voice mutant will be the one where Clark realizes he has super hearing. (Oh how dull that is to write much less to watch.)

It is not clear that these characters are supposed to be nods to comicverse characters or the actual characters themselves like Perry and Morgan Edge. Or just super blatant rip offs.

eta: I got my birth year post #. And I am super fuzzy on these spoilers. I read them months ago - I should go double check. And I will.

Go team memory!

From krypton site for Smallville 3.10
* "Whisper," eh? How much do you want to bet this is the "Clark gets super hearing" episode? * The episode's FOTW, Nathan Dean, has the power to emit a loud shriek/scream, much like Siryn or Banshee of the X-Men.

"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

They make a point of naming the Marvel Comics characters that sounds similar to, but DC's Black Canary got there first .

Yes, Black Canary was first.

IOtvShows...

So, this remake of Battlestar Gallactica they're running on Sci Fi next month?

They've decided to make Starbuck female, so there can be sexual tension between her and Apollo. Obviously these people haven't been watching Smallville. They didn't need to turn Starbuck female to accomplish that...

And thinking of it now - there was PLENTY of sexual tension between the original Starbuck and Apollo.

B.G. was my absolute favorite show as a kid. I SWORE I was going to name my first daughter Casseopia.

I don't like the idea of Starbuck as a girl. Is she gonna be big ho? Because Starbuck was all about the easy lay.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Has anyone found a decent OC transcript site? Because I've decided that I really need an exchange from last week's ep, and of course I've already trashed the file, and Google is giving me no love (but giving me repeated hits on an ugly-assed site with exactly one transcript up).

Sigh. I've been so spoiled by fandoms full of obsessive geeks with actual skills.

What exchange do you need, amych? Mebbe Kat and/or ita and/or tina f. have committed it to memory?

t etf spelling, and note that I don't know of any transcript sites

I've been so spoiled by fandoms full of obsessive geeks with actual skills.

Yesterday I was searching for Jane E.'s next GG ep. Nada. Then I realized GG doesn't really lend itself to the obsessive geeks who build spoiler sites.

I have been able to find one transcript for ep 2 of the O.C. and that is it.

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

smonster is also uncannily retentive in that regard.

Same one I found, tina. And, yeah, we really are spoiled by the culture of Jossverse fans including ourselves.

Anyway, the exchange (and, are we surprised at all?) is the one in the kitchen at breakfast, where Ryan is talking about wanting to find some kind of extracurricular activity to go out for in order to get more involved in school. Seth has come in the middle of the scene, but before this. Anyway, Sandy says something like,

Sandy: What about Archery? The Harbor School is really good at Archery!
Seth: Archery, dad?!
Sandy: Or fencing!
Seth: Dad, your Jewishness has doomed me to a life of unathletic blah blah...

or something to that effect.

And, umm, yeah. Me, laughing my ass off. Like there's any big surprise there.
