'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


Natter 39 and Holding  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My office is freezing, and the tapes database is down.

So I can't do any work, and I'm COLD.

Someone should bring me hot chocolate.

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

Colin's series has gotten 13 episodes picked up! Eureka, on the Sci Fi Channel. Luckily I both don't have Comcast and do have digital.

If I only had a brain...

Hooray for Colin! And look who else is in the cast...

Unrelatedly:

Killer dolphins on the loose. And we haven't even started genetically modifying them yet. I smell a Sci Fi TV movie.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Killer dolphins on the loose

So much for "So long. Thanks for all the fish!"

And we haven't even started genetically modifying them yet. I smell a Sci Fi TV movie.

They screwed up the first cyborg-dolphin-junkie by trying to film Johnny Mnemonic. The short story is much, much better. And even details how the Navy "trains" them--just give them heroine and they'll do anything you want.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think there is a similar program in place for TV execs, actually.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Drama stars Colin Ferguson ("Coupling""Coupling") as a federal marshal who gets stranded in the small northwestern town of Eureka. He quickly discovers the town is composed of oddball geniuses assembled by the government to conduct top-secret research -- a clustering that may inadvertently put their lives at risk.

Huh. I missed all the oddball geniuses when I spent the night in Eureka. I did talk to a bartender, who told me about all the economic problems the city has had since the mine shut down.

This is Eureka, NV, right?

eta: What is "Northwestern"?

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

Eureka, CA. Near the Oregon border.

Oh.

I started to suspect it was not NV when I noticed the "northwestern."

I was thinking that NV would be more fun, but maybe the desert weirdness has been done before, with Roswell....
