Like I said in Natter - I'm going to give Eureka a chance cause it was a pilot. But not impressed with the pilot. Plot contrived. Don't believe most of the characters. Makeing ms. perfect pyschotherapist/sex goddes evil does not make her character more believable.
I'll be in my bunk.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Another Sci-Fi genre casting event! Link Hogthrob to guest star on SG-1. [link]
Okay, not really, but it certainly does look like an SG-1 location shot.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

One of the lesser System Lords, no doubt.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Eureka is going to be called A Town Called Eureka when it airs on Sky. So say the ads, anyway.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yes! I saw! It'll be here in August!

Good job, universe! Although, granted that will still only give me maybe two episodes before going to Thailand...still, housepoints for Sky.

Had lunch with a friend today, and he asked me if I'd seen Eureka and what I thought. He liked it a lot and says he will continue watching. He specifically said that he liked the lead and particularly some of his line deliveries. Then I started talking about how well it had done, blah, blah, blah, and he looked a little confused, since he'd brought up the show in the first place, though it made more sense once I shared the friend of a blinvisible internet friend thing. I totally one degree of separation name-dropped!
As for me, I liked it, too. Liked Colin and the guy who plays Henry the best. I thought Jack Carter was a good combinaiton of competent yet befuddled by all the weird. Nice. Oh, and the deputy woman - liked her, too. The whirligig machine thing reminded me of the machine from Contact. Love Greg Germann and am so bummed that he's not going to be on the show. I didn't love the character of the daughter (though the actress was fine)... I'd have left her in the jail cell, too. Then again, I'm mean.
I liked a lot of what they showed for the upcoming season, too. It looks like it'll be fun and with the danger and all.
In conclusion: yay!
