Oh. Er. Well.
Perzactly. It will probably end up about wacky time-tripping lawyers in Boston.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.
'Get It Done'
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.

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.
Daniel has been waxing eloquent on the topic of the Eureka-Mayberry analogy for over a week. Thank heavens he's stopped rapping 60's folk songs, though. That was really painful.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
We the whole thing in half an hour with 2 cameras burning the whole time.
Okay, I am very interested in the idea of setting my tools on fire in order to make deadline. This, to me, is the part that needs remarking on! (Whaddya mean it's slang? Give me my hilarious delusions, please.)
Also, anything with a "monkey beam" in it.

Great news about the ratings! I'm afraid I had no chance to see this week's show, but I hope to catch next week's if the schedule coincides with mine.

Loved the Eurekaberry analogy. Funny images for my head.
And "two cameras burning"... I meant rolling but it felt like burning.

Jessica ... you have to be wary. According to someone on the IMDB board, the broadcast version on BBCA is quite heavily edited to allow for commercials. To see the unedited versions you need to subscribe to BBCA Free On Demand.
While David E. Kelley is the wrong choice for making a US version of Life on Mars, I think it goes way beyond whomever is in charge. LoM takes its cue from shows like Target, and The Sweeney, and I don't believe there is a 70's US equivelant to those type of shows. What you'll end up with is a variation on Starsky & Hutch and the feeling will not be the same.
eta: Oh and I just found out the R4 version of the DVDs is released next week, so I'm going to order once I'm sure it has all the extras that the R2 version contains.

With apologies to "Blanca", who listed these cuts to episode 2 here -> [link]
Cut from Ep. 2: "Real. Unreal." (which sucks because I'd like to see that) The scene where they first bring in Trent Trent's other excuses after "cookery classes" Sam putting tapioca pudding on his burger (!) The ambulance driver Sam and Annie in Sam's flat The matron in the hospital room (Sam tells her to tell June's parents to talk to her - aww!) Mrs. Trent The ice cream truck Ray on the radio (the way it plays now it seems like they never went to Annie's at all) The darts match Leonard and Sam after he IDs Trent
I have to say, while you shouldn't miss any of the scenes, you should especially not miss the Ice Cream truck scene. The Gene Genie out-does himself. A fricken hoot and a half!
eta: cos I still don't know the difference between "greater than" and "less than"
