Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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.

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who

We'll see a lot more cover-ups. The consortium had to have reverse engineered the mind wipe device that Anderson had in order to create more.

We never did see who the original device was left with at the end of "Before I Forget". Maybe Henry took it back? He built it before his GD days, so he should still be the owner.

Oh the lightness will still be there. Absolutely. We're talking about making it funnier and darker and just giving it more of itself. If that makes sense.

Heard more fun ideas about next year but at this point all the ideas are so divergent that it's all clearly conjecture.

I guess long story short, the guys wanted 13 episodes because they want the show to be around for 5 or 6 years and they want to be able to set it up properly. They definately demonstrate more self control than I have.

I guess if the BBC can make great stuff with 8 episode seasons then 13 is generous.

Hope you and littlebug are able to pop in now and again between seasons CFerg. It's been great having you here.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yay for season 2! Yay for darker!

How could Carter keep from making decisions in the future based on what he knows? He would have to be creating little rifts in the timeline all the time.

I'm sad that Kim is dead and that we didn't get more episodes with her when she was alive. Where was she when Henry was considering leaving Eureka? Was she involved in the decision at all? Was she going to go with him or stay in Eureka?

I want to know how AU Zoe could have been at the top of her class. Does she have hidden genius that we don't know of yet?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yay for next season.

I laughed when I saw that CISCO was running The Consortium

I remembered seeing the logo on Stark's computer in one of the earlier episodes. So, who's desk was it? Stark's? Fargo's? Allison's?

but ubersuperior conspiracies lurking the background, always able to magically escape discovery/justice, annoy me these days.

Yeah, I was half expecting them to pull back to reveal Claire's father from Heroes was the one talking to Beverly. (Speaking of which, how great would it have been to have had Hiro show up after one of the paradox quakes, just walking through the background with a silly grin on his face?)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yes, indeedy! I think we would have liked Eureka just as much, but sharing your experience and insight sure heightened the fun for me.

We should patent this. Call it a threadcast™ or somethin'.

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

The Beverly subplot was a bit moustache-twirly for me. I also like knowing more about how and what the bad guys are doing, and having the suspense be about if they succeed or not, not about what they want and who they are.

He would have to be creating little rifts in the timeline all the time.

It's a good thing they have months to sift their options on what the ramifications are. I think a fading memory works well, or the fact that whatever Henry didn't get to do now kinda renders most of Jack's memories moot.

So what happened to Nathan in the accident? He was only standing a few feet away from Kim, and she was fried to a crisp and fused to a piece of metal.

Grievously injured, but with Eureka-tech they were able to fix everything but his hair follicles.
