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 tagless for your comfort.

sort of like a cat that's been "trained" not to kill small things but wants to anyway.

Trained cats. Bwhahahahaha. I know it happens but I find this very funny.

I've read that a lot of high level exec's will sometimes take their assistants with them from company to company. Stark probably isn't the type to get emotionally attached to people who work for him but I think he wouldn't like to break in a new AA, either.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Fargo was assistant to Warren King but when Warren got moved to Alaska and Stark was brought in, his position changed.

Did Warren King's transfer get mentioned in the show? The way it's been played, it seems like Stark has been around much longer than King's transfer - was he supposed to already be around in Eureka, and just got promoted?

I'm thinking about this too much.

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

I think Stark came back to Eureka, judging by Allison's surprise.

Yeah, he used to run GD and then got transferred or took a job moving him away....yeah that was it. He got offered a job and chose it over his family. I think that's the backstory for the separation. It all got mentioned but onyl briefly.

Then WK got "relocated" and the powers that be brought Stark back.

Everytime I see GD, I think General Dynamics. So, now I'm wondering if that was on purpose or just my ex-military mind playing with old acronyms.

GD's not an acronym. It's, uh, an initialism or something like.

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.

Global Dynamics. And it does put one in mind of General Dynamics.

Whoops. Ah, well, you still knew what I meant, right?

Oh, yeah. Just practising my pedantry. In case it gets rusty, see?

Hee--my fellow Buffy fan here at work just came over and asked if I was familiar with this new show on SciFi called something that he couldn't remember offhand. "Eureka?" I asked. "That's it! They have this Buffy fan character on the show who's just hilarious."

I dropped Colin's name as someone somebody I know (well, virtually, but I didn't get into that) was college friends with, and he said that he really liked your performance as Sheriff Carter. I also told him about the Eureka marathon on the 3rd, and he said he might queue up the VCR for that day to catch the episodes he's missed.
