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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
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.

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.
I think what I liked most about this episode was Colin's line reading.
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.
I think this is the appropriate thread for this link: Dwight from The Office engages in fanfic.

fans may be able to make more sense of my recap of the Comic-Con panel.
Oh! I can't believe I was feeling sorry for Colin, what with him having to work Comic Con on his birthday. Yeah, uhuh. I can't feel
that
sorry for anyone who has Lucy Lawless, Edward James Olmos, James Callis and the casts of the Gates sing them happy birthday.
Jo is over the top, but in a fun way.
Is she the deputy? Yeah, I love her. Like Henry, she didn't get quite enough to do this episode, but some of her stuff in the pilot was my favorite.

Did they do it in public?

It might have been at the party that Jessica attended. Not sure...
Man, I'm sorry I missed that! We had to leave early to catch the last trolley back to our hotel. Curses!
(I can't think of when else it would have been, unless they all got together for lunch or something. There wasn't a Eureka panel, and it definitely didn't happen at the SG or Galactica one. Maybe after the SciFi Friday screenings?)
