Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

'Objects In Space'


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.

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

I'm not so sure that lamé breathes well.

Totally depends on the weave.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

(and you thought I was a good person, ha!)
Duct. Tape.

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

Well, they are in Vancouver...

So, they had all this change in their pockets left over from lunch in the commissary, the fence really works, and when they started getting dragged towards the fence by their pockets, they just improvised the scene? Works for me.

Meanwhile, we seem to be having a Eureka marathon of SciFi tonight.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Which I appreciate, since it's well-nigh impossible for me to catch the show on Tuesdays.

Hey, look, Narim from SG1/Simon from SGA is the congressman.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Maybe it was the day she worked a double on two shows?

Yeah, I hate the "Jack and Alli being thrown together too much" thing. I wanted to have nothing to play and use a subtext. But TPTB clearly didn't agree. There were actually two episodes where the idea of kissing was tossed around and it made me so mad.

Yeah, I played the joke on Zoe's exit instead of the reality. I mean I guess the character could be making a joke but in retrospect I'd have gone the other way.

You would not believe the conversations about the magnetic fence. How about teeth fillings? Salli actually had on a big buckled belt but she said it looked stupid and wouldn't wear it - so they got the smaller one. Also, my name tag is actually plastic, the badge would have torn the shirt, and any gun that Salli could have had would have to have been plastic.

There was also a cow attached by her cowbell but she wouldn't play nice. We shared a look in one take.

It bugs me that logic has to be partially turned off. I mean, I know it's TV and it just has to, but that is a concern (Sci Fi spoke about it last weekend) and we will do better... should we get to come back.

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

If you're going to be set in the real world and talk about science and be entertaining, there will be handwaving. I mean, hell, Farscape had handwaving, and it was set in another galaxy, with muppets.

(Not that real-world science isn't entertaining, but it's rarely entertaining in as narratively satisfying a way as TV science can be.)

Finally caught up! Loved this ep. Yay robots!

What was the last scene? SciFi lied and the ep was a few minutes off.

I got to the "Dad," at the busstop.

I was waiting for the cow.

Just in the subtext or was it anvily as well?
