'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
But when pizza dude (in a very appropriate red shirt) gets esploded into jiggly jello-y bits, it felt cheap and nobody seemed really scared or horrified. I don't care how silly an ep is supposed to be overall, but sh*t like that shouldn't be a throwaway.
Exactly. I know it was one way to show us the switch from Sarah to Brad, but it was just too broadly drawn. It irritated me. Although, the red shirt was funny.

Star Trek made me into a cold bitch when it comes to disposable crew members. While Pizza Dude was a cruel plot devise, the twinge to my conscience was brief.
they really could have upped the stakes by having appropriate reactions from everyone, but what followed basically told me not to worry, he was an expendable character who nobody cares about and wasn't actually a character in the universe of Eureka (and it kinda irked that they made sure that he was annoying enough for us to not care if he died. Chickens.)
eta prolly why I hate ST, SG-1 and SG:A
Protective dads willing to sacrifice anything to save their children are hot.
I had more to say, but... yeah.

The one flaw in an otherwise great episode has been pointed out. In a town as small as Eureka, why didn't they know his name? Ima go back to the good parts.
I loved Tag's hate/admiration for the NIMH mice from GD.
Before tonight, I really liked Eureka. Now, I am absolutely, totally in love with this show. Damn good episode.
loved the whole "Jo will save us" "She's not here" "We could blow [Sarah] up." "She's not here."
and Stark cuts Carter off from the beer, hee!
Eureka's another one of those shows you don't catch everything the first time around. I'm going to have to start taping, ahemming takes too long.
the reason that I love this show so much, and why when it drops the ball here and there it really bugs.
Eh. First season syndrome, my fingers are crossed for next!
I was just thinking, in the end, the thing that sent Carter into a sulk in the first place is still there, isn't it? He can't do his job a lot of the time because he keeps coming up against S5, either their free-pass or just that he doesn't have enough information to come to the right conclusion about what's actually going on.
love the revealed relationship between Henry and Stark, mentor and star pupilditto.
The Jo and Taggart thing was great. I loved the crazy look they put on Taggart with the red paintball paint all over his face.
Stark's "Oh crap." was PERFECT.ditto.
I think that the pairing of Allison & Carter together was a bit heavy handed (as usual). I'd been hoping for a bit of a Beverly/Carter/Allison triangle, just to complicate things some, but that really doesn't appear to be in the cards.
Putting Fargo in with Beverly was great b/c you know that Fargo must've dreamt about a situation like this before.
There had better be a second season. I'm enjoying this show way too much.
