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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I finally got through all of EUREKA. I liked it. Definitely very pilot-y, but with a lot of potential. I generally agree with a lot of you that the daughter isn't that interesting a character, though, well-played, and I'm a bit skeptical about the evil shrink.

The danger is it could turn into SMALLVILLE with "science" in for kryptonite and wackiness ensues. Hopefully not, though, and Colin seems a lot more interesting in one episode than Tom Welling and KK combined have for the entire run of that show. He's got a talent for the double-take followed by a dry, snarky aside.

Can someone tell me what happens after Colin gets the letter about the promotion, my tape cut off the very end because the wrestling (!) on right before went over. I assume he found out the promotion means he's now sheriff?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I just watched it too, Frank! You are correct about what happen after he gets the letter. In the next scene, he's wearing a sheriff's uniform and is in his office when thngs start shaking and there's a loud noise. He steps into the main room and there's a large scientific-y object that has crashed through the roof. He tells the deputy chick to call whashisname the "mechanic" dude. Cut to credits.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Put me down as another big fan of Doctor Doctor. I can still see and hear scenes from a couple of episodes. Especially the one with Robert Culp as the racist, and the scene where Frewer is standing there dripping water and saying, "my balls are wet".

I quite liked the pilot of Eureka but there is much room for improvement. They need to rethink Frewer's character's accent, however. It was quite clearly an American trying on a lame Aussie accent but only managing to suck and blow at the same time.

Thrive to spite them

I looked at scifi.com and the bio for Matt's character says: " A big brute of an Aussie (or so he claims)" so I'm thinking his accent is supposed to be suspect.

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

Hello everyone! I've been offline at Comic Con for the past 4 days, but I did manage to actually catch up here at the airport. I'm posting first in this thread because I wanted to say that I met Colin last night and he utterly failed to give me any dirt on ita, in spite of promising too early on in the evening. But it was a lot of fun talking to him, and he agreed with DH and I that the episodes of Eureka are far far better than the pilot, so he hopes people keep watching.

I also met and got pictures with James Callis and David Hewlitt, who was wearing a charming hat. I shook Aaron Douglas' hand and said hello I love your performance can't wait for S3 etc (OMGWTFSOHAWTINPERSON), but didn't get a chance for a picture because he was rushing off to talk to David Eick. Which is really too bad, because did I mention TEH HAWT?

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

I'm going to have to kick his ass for even promising. I'll show him what's what.

Now, please excuse me as my worlds implode.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

So jealous.

Heh -- practically the first words out of his mouth were "Oh, I could give you some dirt on her, but I'll have to think of something really good first." And then we both remembered about you being able to kill people, so...

I'm so ungodly jealous.

(I mean, really. In case that reads as sarcastic.)

(May I touch you?)

You should claim that you got all kinds of dirt on ita, to make her nervous. Well, except that ita's version of "nervous" would probably make innocent bystanders even more nervous, so for your own safety, never mind.

See above, re: ability to kill people. I will soon be safely across the country in New York, but I would really hate to see anything happen to Colin, because he seems like a lovely person.

Any yes, you may touch the hand that touched the Chief. (In addition to the hawt, he was quite fun to talk to for the brief time that I did.)

James Callis needed a shave in a bad way. He really shouldn't wear a beard, like, ever. (Still adorable as ever, just..fuzzy.)

Both of them were DYING to tell us things about S3 that they weren't allowed to talk about because it's going to apparently blow everyone's mind -- I really can't wait for October.
