I suspect so, Dana. It's what happened last year, except it wasn't as much of a problem since the US run started up again in... January? I forget.
Man, just ascend already.

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.

We got the #2 itune TV downlaod spot!! Yay!
And it's for Purple Haze which I loved. So that's not such a bad thing. And we're three of the top ten - which I actually can't wrap my head around just yet - but I understand it's good.
Two eps left. And the execs want the pick up soon so they can start writing and getting a writing staff together. We're all gearing up and I think we have a bettter idea what the show is and what we're good at as a show. It feels like we're all on the same page, so that feels great.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Will John write again, you think?
And when should you start filming?

Colin- Assuming Eureka were to get a pickup, do you have any idea if it is planned for 13 or 20 episodes? Or is that something that is determined at the time of the pickup? I think I heard something in the podcast saying something about 20 episodes. I think nearly all of us here would love there to be lots more episodes!

Hey amlai, from what I gather, there is rumor of the pick up being about 16. They don't want to only do 12 and have people feeling like it's a half show but are wary about jumping to 22 after the BSG season 2 experience. I gather that was a hard year.
So far these are just rumors and who knows what will be left on the table at the end of it all, but that's what I'm hearing.
I personally would love to do 22. But I'm a minority on that one. The execs want to make sure they can do it right.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Okay, I did have a quibble with "Purple Haze." Carter gets rid of the plants by standing in the middle of them, and then sweeping the flame thrower around in a complete circle, setting the entire field ablaze with him in the middle of it. Not at all bright. Amazed he survived. It was probably one heck of a harrowing escape that they didn't show us.

Oh, yeah, I noticed that too. I handwaved it as dramatic license. *g*

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I noticed that, too, DX, but at least, it looked like each individual plant was burning, not like a total conflagration. Still would'a been awful warm to walk through, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's kind of exciting liking a quirky show that seems to be doing well. And has a friend-of-the-board on it! Keeping fingers crossed.

Um, okay, delurking at last and hiding behind Consuela, for reasons which she knows. Probably 1.23 am is not the best time to make one's first post after being sort of in and out for, I think about two years? Anyway, hi, and I'm going to crawl back under the bed with the dustbunnies now.
