Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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.

In the second ep. "Many Hapy Returns", the opening "Obi Wan you're my only hope" type hologram of the late Mr. and Mrs. Perkins was a stand with a tennis ball on it.

But our Vis fx guy Simon was shockingly articulate. He always knew exactly what he was doing.

It got hard in Primal, but I'll talk about that later.

Her turning into a pumpkin is sort of what it feels like when they pull the plug while you're shooting.

It sounds like working with a union orchestra.

I have to say, the mouthbreather from Wonderfalls being the voice of the house cracks me up.

Art Crawl!!!

How many episodes have you done? You're not all done, right?

Yeah, we wrapped July 14th.

I'm still doing a lot of press and ADR (looping). I got a big session of ADR For Friday - always makes me nervous.

And we're trying to setup some east coast morning shows for the next couple of weeks. It's a lot of work still.

How many episodes is this season?

Our wings are not tired.

East coast morning shows. Hope you're a morning person. Or ya know, stay up real late.

Just watched Ep3. Charmed. The interaction between the characters worked really well. The Jack 'n Jo dynamic was nice. They fight crime!

We shot 12 plus the pilot.

I like the Jack and Jo thing too! (we called it Lupo and Carter but I'm a convert - Jack and Jo sounds better) We wanted to make it more like siblings getting at each other and giving each other a hard time instead of just angry.

It's so hard! There is so much I can't say. But it gets better. I liked Purple Haze for their dymanic, myself, for Jack and Jo.

It's hard with Blink out of order. You arc stuff for an airing sequence but they tell me that Before I forget just cut together faster.

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

they tell me that Before I forget just cut together faster.

That's because John knew who he was writing for.

Of course, it's just possible I'm making stuff up.

When do you record the Before I Forget podcast?

Yes, very sibling like.

It's so hard! There is so much I can't say.

Sure you can.

By the way, Eureka is on a short list of shows that my family enjoys watching together. I watched the pilot with my 11 & 14 year old sons and they loved it. Husband asked me today if I had the 3rd episode for him to watch yet. (Don't tell that I watched without them. I'll watch again later when they get home.)

The air goes out of the building, she says goodbye and then I do the rest of the scene to a piece of tape stuck to a stand.

Am I alone in thinking that this might be one of the few perks of working with all the child actors on Seventh Heaven?
