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.

"Invisibling" was the term Jack used to describe the event in the confrontation utside GD. It was in the promos?....... I probably mistyped it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I totally should have said that.

So, social niceties before traumatic ass-forwarding? I'm gonna have to make a note of that. It seems like the sort of thing that might come in handy.

He's green in my head - because I think he should have been the grinch instead.

The Grinch clearly needed more cowbell.

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

I'm normally a Jim Carrey fan, but that movie was awful. A Christopher Walken Grinch would have been interesting indeed.

The Grinch has a fever! And the only prescription is...

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

I just went trolling through some more press, and have to laugh:

In this new sci--fi drama series, US Marshal Jack Carter and his daughter Zoe become stranded in a strange coastal town in the US that seems to be filled with scientific boffins. They soon find that dark forces are at work. The series, which stars Colin Ferguson, Jordan Hinson and Matt Frewer has been a cult hit in the US.
Sunday Independent (UK)

The show borrows from Northern Exposure, Twin Peaks, maybe the corporate drama Profit too many to gauge how it'll develop. But Ferguson has the right tone of bone--tired disbelief.

They come from beyond: TV stars that won't die
...
Ferguson represents the new guard of plucky performers on TV. The actor, coming off a major misstep as a co--star on the failed U.S. version of "Coupling," will appear on new SciFi series "Eureka." Already, he's building buzz as a handsome U.S. marshal who ends up in a mysterious town populated by government scientists.
Chicago Tribune

But it's not the predictable ordinary town/extraordinary circumstances that make "Eureka" click. It's Colin Ferguson, an actor with soap--opera good looks, impeccable comic timing and a resume of sitcom misses (one word: "Coupling").
Chicago Tribune

Ferguson's approach is fluid and funny enough to make it all work. He approaches the role as a cross between Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood, with a mixture of laconic energy that somehow fits the role perfectly.
Daily News

Bruce Willis! Profit! Cult hit!

Good stuff.
