Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

DX, possibly that's what happens when a goau'ld has to come up with an outfit for his jaffa and all the cool animals are taken.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

One of the lesser System Lords, no doubt.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm so confused.

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!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Chiming in late on the Doctor, Doctor and Frank's Place looooooove. It took me until last night to finish watching the Eureka pilot, which I didn't find all that gripping, but still well-done enough to hope it will improve. (I have a theory that you have to give most SF shows at least six episodes to settle down, as writers, producers, and actors figure out how the rules really work. There are rare exceptions that are good from the first show, but that's not the way to bet.)
