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 don't think that she did. I think that she will now go after Susan #1 thinking that she knows something that she doesn't. Assuming that this Susan will stick around.

Except I think the real story has probably gotten around town, what with the exhuming of bodies and everything. I think the husband (who's name I'm completely spacing on) is more at risk if he ever gets completely corporeal again.

Yeah, I thought the DOD agent was WAY out of line. I was so happy that Susan snarked at her for it, too. THAT was the scene where I was afraid they were going to have her go all maternal.

Our wings are not tired.

Evil Shrink Lady is thrown, but I agree that Walter will be at the most risk when he is corporeal again. I was so very amused with hearing the word corporeal again. Hee. Did they mention Sarah Michelle Gellar at one point too, or was I imagining things?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Since she was in cahoots with the guy, I wonder if she knew the clone was a clone.

doesn't matter. she killed susan#1 because she knew about Walter's "friends", not because she was susan #1. Her only worry now is that Walter will tell Susan#2, and Susan#2 won't feel the loyalty.

Did they mention Sarah Michelle Gellar at one point too, or was I imagining things?

yes, when Fargo was talking about SARAH's voice.

That cracked me right the hell up!

Funny thing is, until I typed out the sentence, I didn't see the Sarah/SARAH bit :)

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

So that was supposed to be a pro-ball game? I assumed when they said Indiana that it was college.

Nobody watches college baseball on TV. Well, almost nobody.

The Gellar thing was funny, and I got the SARAH/Sarah thing as soon as the mouthbreather said it.

I liked that the "ghost" was a result of stuff that happened last week.

I did, too, except that it was too easy to figure out who it had to be almost from the beginning of the episode.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Last night's Eureka was definitely not as good as the pilot, but, again, Henry (Joe Morton) was my favorite character of the ep, even though he was mostly in the background. The best bit was his velcro strip for his changeable job titles, which is why his generic coveralls work so well for him. I also liked that his expertise also, apparently, covers religious ceremonies as well (loved his African garb at the gravesite!).

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

I think what I liked most about this episode was Colin's line reading. Which is of less interest to everyone else, I suppose.

The episode cheated in what it needed to accomplish--two cheats, I feel.

The first was the maternal switch that made it so that Sarah #2 stuck around. Now, if her sticking around is messy, I will give that a pass--an impulsive decision that she has to learn to work with because it's kinda too late to back out.

The other cheat was in whose ghost it was. Or more precisely in the recognition thereof. Unless I miss my mark, they didn't give us the same visual information Jack had to identify who it was.

Now, once he knew who it was, guessing where it was going was...well, one of two. Either to his kid, or to the people who could fix it. I guess the appearance at GD covered the latter, so it was about the former.

However, I don't think it was made clear how Allison knew where to go. I know the ghost appeared near the kid...but was that enough if she didn't know who it was? Okay, since it appeared in her house I'll give her that. And perhaps she was following it herself.

I thought it a charming episode, and not a waste of my hour.

Art Crawl!!!

Yes! That was a problem -- they eventually showed us Walter in the glowy stuff but not 'til the end.

BTW, the webisodes are being put up and each of them is just under 2 minutes. There's a prologue and episode 1.

I guess that the BSG webisodes will be similar.

Colin is totally charming in the role. I have no issues with his character. His reactions have been appropriate for the character.

Henry is a delight. I hope every episode something blows up and someone says "Call Henry."

Annoying that everyone except every single person watching the show didn't figure out instantly that Walter was glowy ghost.

I like Allison despite having no good reason to like her. Jo is over the top, but in a fun way. There is enough potential there with interesting characters to make me come back for more. Jury is still out on the story lines.
