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.

So, here in Vancouver, we're only getting the third episode of Eureka this weekend, because hey, almost all good sci-fi show are shot here these days, but shown here months and months after they are shown in the U.S. Anyway.
I was browsing our local free entertainment paper's Best of Vancouver edition, when I spotted this:
BEST PROOF HOLLYWOOD NORTH IS STILL STRONG AND FREE
Eureka
This quirky show from the U.S. Sci-Fi Channel-but filmed here-airs on the Space channel north of the 29th. Perennial guest star Colin Ferguson gets a chance to play the lead and show off his comedic timing as U.S. marshal Jack Carter, who finds himself as the only average guy in a town populated by geniuses. Eureka is a little bit X-files and a little bit Northern Exposure.
Edited because formatting is hard! < /Barbie>
Edited the 2nd: because apparently, spelling is hard too!
Psst, Abby. It's Northern Exposure
eta: Although if you copied it directly, it isn't your fault.
Thanks for trying to give me the benefit of the doubt, DX, but I think I tried to type that without enough coffee. Soon to be remedied.
The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has Battlestar Galactica on the cover! Appparently, the article has some spoilery bits, so someone posted an edited version of it at their LJ.

Yay! I was wondering when that'd happen....
Also, thanks for the non-spoilery link. I am 99.99% unspoiled at the moment and want to keep it that way.

Sex! Viloence! Toasters?
Hee.
ABBY!!!
(I have no other contribution to the thread, sadly. But! Abby sighting!)
PLEI!!!
When are you and your beautiful baby girl coming north? Oh, and Paul. (Hi Paul!)
And yay BSG!

Well, we were supposed to in July, but it failed to happen. Now, I've no clue. Driving me nuts, though, as I wish to expose her to the Aged Relatives and all.
From the EW article:
Like the original Galactica, this version has an implicit conclusion: the eventual discovery of Earth. Moore and Eick say they have an ending in mind, but won't say if it involves the Galactica and its fleet actually reaching our fair planet. Ask the cast, and they'll tell you (after insisting that Galactica is really about the journey, not the end...blah blah blah) about a popular joke on the set: The series' climactic scene will find the fleet being blown to bits by America's president. ''You know it's never going to end happy,'' teases Park. ''They think Earth is this magical Eden, but we all know how we treat each other here. Then again, you know the Cylons are just going to follow them to Earth and bring their little war to our backyard. So maybe it would be better all around if [the American president] ordered a nuclear strike on Galactica. That would be like the biggest 'F--- you.''' Or frak you, as it were.
I was thinking earlier that the final season should be the Colonial survivors living on Earth as refugees, who are not wanted by most Earthies, trying to get the governments of Earth to assist them in the humanitarian mission of rescuing those humans still imprisoned by the Cylons - and failing to get that assistance. You know, kinda' how genocide can go on on Earth without anyone doing anything about it.
I need that BSG
