On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

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

When I finally get a real job again, it's the first thing on my list. I'll buy a new Tivo before I buy new furniture. Seriously.

This sounds like a perfectly reasonable set of priorities to me.

I've left Suggestions on -- at least on the one TiVo with extra space. Occasionally it has spit out stuff that I've really enjoyed, for instance I picked up Stargate because it kept stubbornly recording it every weekend. The TiVo runs 24/7 anyway, so it might as well be useful. :-)

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

This final season of Highlander is really quite boring. I'd heard it was an exercise to find the right female character to spin off, but I'd had no idea so many episodes would feature little to no Duncan or our regular (and hopefully getting paid) friends. I'm not surprised when Sandra Hess proves flat, but I'm disappointed in Claudia Christian's so far.

I didn't think I loved Duncan, but we're 37 minutes in, and he's not around.

Art Crawl!!!

No Duncan at all yesterday. Are we getting the series finale today and tomorrow and the third from the end on Monday?

Also - - I know that they've been showing Farscape season 4 on Sunday nights -- but check the scifi schedule -- it's not on this weekend nor in October except for the two marathons. And they stopped at that mid-season break -- and repeated Prefect Murder this past weekend.

Also, I wish I'd known that they were showing Ultraviolet!

I'm pretty glad I didn't watch S6 as it was airing. I was big into Adrian Paul at the time, and this would have pissed me off way more than the 1/2 RDA we're getting in Stargate. Not down with the random female immortal thing.

And can I just say? FUCK ADELPHIA AND SPIKETV. Their juggling of Indiscretions means there's no 1am repeat which means I don't get it.

If anyone feels sufficiently piteous towards me, maybe they could send me a tape?

Why are they messing with the episode order? So that they don't have the two-parter hanging over a weekend?

This makes no sense.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

When does Indiscretions come up, ita? If it hasn't shown yet, I can grab it for you. (If it has, it's been deleted. I'm only keeping one episode of Highlander at a time, and haven't actually been watching it.)

Yes, but has it told you if you're gay or not?

Mine thought for some reason that I wanted to watch Baywatch, so apparently it thinks I'm a straight man. I gave it thumbs-down with abandon, and Baywatch went away. (Watched the episodes first, since I'd never actually seen the show. Funny in a terrible, terrible way. Man overboard! Fat-woman-wants-sex humor! Pamela Anderson's tragic gambling problem!)

Next Monday, at 4, Katie. I'd be so happy if you could. After sitting through much of this season, I need some Methos comfort.

Man, I'm eager ...

Monday at 4. Got it, e-mailed home to remind myself. Send me your address - my profile e-mail is good.

(Sad but true - I very nearly typed --Katie at the end of the e-mail to myself as a signature. Stopped myself in time, though.)
