I was going through my and GF's art online and thought I should really share this piece we have of Boomer and Starbuck, cause it's just so cool: [link]

'The Killer In Me'
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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, Ready Steady Cook! I love that show.
Hee! They mentioned that in a Spaced episode.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I finally got around to watching this week's Eureka. Liked the ep for the most part. One thing that bugged me, and I'm afraid I may have to suck it up to enjoy the show, is the "brilliant scientist is brilliant in all sciences" bit with Walter. Unless they're going to say he had PhD's in both physics and genetics, I'm not buying all he's able to do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He's not a scientist. Or at the very least, he's an engineer.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I saw the pilot of Eureka, finally, and now I keep missing it. I can't keep tv schedules in my head in the summertime. Too hot, I guess.

Our wings are not tired.
Walter wasn't my favorite. I'll have to see how he comes back. He was kinda wrong, so maybe he'll come back right.

Whoops. Walter is a scientist. My bad. I inserted Henry into that. What did they have Walter doing that wasn't appropriate?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
In the pilot Walter was IDed as a Quantum Physicist and made a big, nasty quantum device. In this episode it was discovered he also managed to perfectly clone his wife, complete with memories (but without the desire to leave him, apparently.)
It made me scratch my head a bit too. On the other hand, Henry's apparent ability to do everything from space shuttles to car repair to funerals to grave digging to spelling "corporeal" just strikes me as amusing, so I'm apparently fickle.

That's going to happen a lot. I mean, it already does, on almost every show with big brains. This one, all about the big brains, but with a limited number of characters? Exponential cross-training.
I am curious to know about the non-brains in Eureka. How did the cops get there? Is Allison a brain?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That's going to happen a lot. I mean, it already does, on almost every show with big brains.It does. And yet it still annoys me when I notice it. But I do try to handwave and ignore it in the hopes of being charmed by some other element of the show in question.
