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.
From sumi's link:
The set, released on 20 November 2006, comes in lenticular packaging that features a special moving image on both front and back.
Guesses on what the special moving image might be? Galek? TARDIS?
Also, Woo! I don't believe I have seen the word lenticular before. Excellent shiny new word.
I've been thinking about the magnetic fence. If it were as strong as the magnet in an MRI, the whole thing works a little better.
I have, too. Actually, I've been thinking way too much about it. Anyway, my new question is, of what use is a magnetic fence in the first place, especially in the context of a dairy farm? The dairy farms I used to live next door to had an electric fence, which I'm sure had a teensy magnetic field, but the electric shock potential was the key to keeping the cows in.
I liked the red hair, except that it was pretty obviously a wig, and therefore temporary. (And no teenager ever dyes her hair that color for the first time without even a single embarrassing red forehead splotch. Er, so I've heard...)

Exactly. The problem was an electric fence gone haywire, not a magnetised one.
I thought the electric fence had gone haywire by becoming magnetized.
My brother is now watching Eureka, per my suggestion. He likes it enough to berate me about giving him yet another use of time he doesn't have. I laugh because...I've never seen it. No cable. So I managed to hook someone on a show I've not seen. Not bad, huh?
To make an electromagnet, the fence would have had to have coiled wire, not to mention that, even if you had such an eccentrically made fence, the power to create that level of magnetism would have just melted the wire. My hands got a little tired of waving in that scene, because it just seemed like an artifical construct to once again throw Jack and Allyson together, in this case literally. Still, it might have been worth it with the cow.
I wondered why there had to be a Zoe, she seemed superfluous at first.
I still think that she's superfluous. not saying that the actress is bad or even that their scenes are bad. Just doesn't seem necessary.
Hellooooo, all. I've been reading but not commenting since I've only caught a few eps. I caught about half of "Blink" last night and there was a little thing that impressed me, if it actually happened. When Jack comes into Henry's garage with the ear while Henry is testing the thingy, there's a big 'whoosh' and then Jack says he can't hear. I heard ringing in the audio, like they were trying to simulate tinnitus. But no one else I watched with heard it.
So am I crazy, or was it really there? (and yes, I know the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive).
Yes, it was there. I thought that it was a nice effect.
oh, and with the cups, I thought that they were empty as well, especially with the way that Zoe was moving them back and forth. She didn't act like she had a full cup of coffee, which at least one of them should have been.
