I just watched the Eureka pilot, and so far I like it a LOT. It's got a cool deadpan attitude towards all the wacky science misadventures that pop up. (And the wacky science misadventures themselves are, so far, very cool.)
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" 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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ep3, also good! (The press kits shipped with the 2-hour pilot, and the third ep -- my guess is the effects work on 2 wasn't in viewable shape when they put them together.)
The audio wasn't fully mixed yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again when it airs, but I really like the way the cast is coming together. Except for the chick who plays the daughter, the whole ensemble works really well together.

Well, that's excellent.
July 17th -- right?
Meanwhile, I wish that I believed that Tom on the 4400 could actually get rid of Isabelle.
But I don't think that's going to happen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How's Colin, Jessica? And don't hold back on my account--I'm genuinely interested.
Happy you like the almost-end product, too! Very happy. That I'll pass on to him regardless.

Ok, going against the grain of Who fans everywhere...
Actually, I agree: both Cybermen AND Daleks is a bit too fucking much. I remain to be convinced next week. But I completely fell for the build-up as to what was inside the sphere (I thought it was something Cybery, Lumic probably), so even though I'd read a spoiler that Daleks might be making an appearance in the final eps, the actual reveal was still a big surprise .
Oh, and so much for the spoiler that Freeman Agyeman is supposed to be the new companion, unless they manage to stuff back half of her brain... .

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Me, too, sumi. They need to do something about her. Omnipotence and invulnerability are getting boring real fast.

Omnipotence, invulnerability and cranky adolesence make a bad combination.
In better news: my DOCTOR WHO dvds shipped!!! Like 10 days earlier than Amazon.com predicted.

I liked him very much! He's a little stiff in the pilot, but so is the rest of the cast -- it's a very pilot-y pilot, if you know what I mean. (Not nearly as bad as Heroes was with the exposition!speak, but still very Here Are The Characters In The Town And Here Is What They Act Like.)
His character is exactly what you'd expect in a character named Jack Carter, which is just fine. He provides good Everyman snark counterpoint to the endless geekery in the background. Oh, and his co-worker is an ex-commando who can kill people with her pinky, which made me smile.
