Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."  

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Eureka was good. I liked Stark for once. I noticed that his Nobel was back where it belongs (or the episode is out of order, which seems more likely).

I did have a quibble. Henry's fire suppression gear gear is great, but you have to wonder why they're hoarding something that beneficial from the world at large.

Our wings are not tired.

I've missed most of the Eureka episodes, but Jo looks all nose-joby to me. camera angles? weight loss? weird make-up? distracting.

I thought she looked different tonight. Harsher. I thought perhaps she wasn't feeling well, tired. Normally I'd call her cute as a button.

I loved the SMG reference. Hehe.

I loved the SMG reference. Hehe.

I also love that Fargo is still the voice of the house. They should NEVER change that unless they can really get SMG to do it.

and did we notice the super secret safe behind it? Bet that comes back to bite someone in the ass.

as a lawyer, I have a theory. Notice how Henry checked to make sure that everyone was out of the house? I'm assuming that the suppression gear works by expanding and choking all of the oxygen out of the structure. All it would take is one time for there to be someone left in a house, and hello lawsuit. Hey, wonder who was driving the truck?

Art Crawl!!!

I loved the SMG reference too.

A very enjoyable episode.

I forgot that Gina Torres' show was on. . . I'm still watching Rock Star.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Gina got some screen time, showed a flash of Jasmine, a flash of Zoe, but was otherwise relegated to third banana, behind the partner-couple. I doubt I'll watch again, this schtick will get old fast.

So, you let them burn to death?

It occurs to me that they probably never invited any personal injury lawyers to come live in Eureka.

Eureka gave me allergies too. The scene with Stark confessing that he'd built Callister, though, I couldn't help but think, "Hermanos, the devil has built a robot!"

I loved the interaction between Jack and Zoe, both when he's done with her and when he tells her he isn't. The moment when he confessed that Zoe'd been right, he wouldn't have let her come--that one was amazing.

I laughed, but wasn't quite as pleased with his reaction when she said she was going blond again. It seemed out of proportion to who he is--more regular, uptight lawman than "our" Jack. This is the woman who does her son's makeup though, so I could be projecting.

I had two little quibbles. 1. the fire putter outter, and 2. Zoe could use the woman's credit card again? Wasn't it canceled after the first time? Or did she just use the woman's name?

Also, Zoe pays all the money back...how? I would have liked it if they'd discussed after school job opportunities or something.

Mostly, though, very happy.

I had the impression Zoe just used the name.

As the mother of a teenager I enjoyed the hair reaction. I'm more than happy to let my boys do whatever they want with hair and clothes, but delighted when they figure out that the look isn't working. Honestly, I just relish having photos of their image experiments to torture them with later in life. (and you thought I was a good person, ha!)
