Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

'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.

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

Anyone else a little scared? You already have nonplussed covered.

Not scared. I am, however, thinking that we have an opportunity to suggest that "foamy" is just the sort of adjective the folks in Eureka (especially the crowd Zoe hangs out with) might use to describe people who are, er, foamy.

Our wings are not tired.

Looks around Eureka, yep, foamy!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I also picked up lots more cool bits of Ed Quinn's performance where he's, pardon the cliche, seeming kind of a shell of himself. The energy is just a little off, the voice a little sluggish, the shrugs and slightly less composed posture.

I just figured that the times Stark did not seem his usual, focussed self were due to times when he was absorbing more information from the computer. It was enough to make me wonder if the nanogeneids had taken over the computer, and if the computer had taken over Stark. At first I thought that what turned out to be Nano!Stark was Real!Stark as controlled by the big 'puter and the Nanoids. The Nano!Golems were far creepier than a Hal!Stark would have been, I think.

Also, why was anyone (I'm looking at you, Stark) blaming Fargo for the mess with the neural interface? Seriously, what kind of flaming idiot agrees to be the first human trial for a thing like that - and don't point out that Fargo had installed one on himself. Unless the point of it was that Stark's tasty, ruthless exterior truly hides a far bigger inner geek than we have yet guessed, even taking the ultra-advanced android creation into account.

ETA: the end of a sentence for the purpose of sense-making.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That would be so fucking funny if "foamy" were the new hotness for the high school set in Eureka.

And by the way, you guys have no idea how indispensible this feedback is. It goes right to the top and we all discuss it. Even the phrasing of ideas in the posts gives new insights and fleshes things out better.

We're very fancy.

Oh, speaking of heads and whatever, I just saw pictures of Gillian Anderson from that Last King of Scotland (?) movie, and not only is she a midget, her head is enormous. FYI.

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

GA is kinda the gold standard for industry midgets, isn't she? Well, her and Tom Cruise.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Fargo would totally use 'foamy' as an adjective.

Heh, this is what I want to answer to be. Hell, the man build his own artificial person and bonded with it.

GA is kinda the gold standard for industry midgets, isn't she? Well, her and Tom Cruise.

Wouldn't Seth Green be in there as well? Also? Dustin Hoffman who's both shorter than Cruise and the original inspiriation for GET SHORTY.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

It takes true brevity to get a tallification-box named after you.

I think Seth Green doesn't count, because he is just like, "Dude, I am short. So?" Whereas, with Scully, it was all about pretending that Mulder didn't have to crouch down to whisper in her ear.

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

I think Dustin Hoffman's allowed to be short onscreen too. Tom Cruise, on the other hand, is tall, like American heroes are.

You know.

Gotcha. I didn't realize the attempt at fooling was one of the defining elements.
