'Objects In Space'


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.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

Ed Quinn plays the character Nathan Stark on Eureka so generally when referring to Stark and Eureka the reference is to Ed Quinn. Hope that clears up any confusion.

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

Ed Quinn plays the character Nathan Stark on Eureka so generally when referring to Stark and Eureka the reference is to Ed Quinn.

It gets even more fannishly complicated. In the alternate timeline in the Eureka season finale, Nathan Stark is seen running Stark Industries, the same corporation run by Tony Stark in assorted Marvel Comics universes.

That just sucks. Canada needs to come through for us.

Things haven't been the same since the Conservatives took office.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Truer words, man.

Thanks, I was wondering if it was the same way we call Grunberg Weiss, etc, etc. And interesting fannish complication, there, DXM. I am sure someone has already conceived of the crossover.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

Is it just me, or is Xena-cylon hotter than Xena?

Thrive to spite them

I realized I'm fuzzy about an aspect of the downloading of memories when Cylons die. Do all the current models of that Cylon get the memories, or just one that was grown to replace a dead one?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I think it's just the replacement, although the general facts of the dead one's experiences were probably downloaded into the Cylon database equivalent. That's why they continue to call the Caprica Six replacements "Caprica," since she's the one with the full memories/personality.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Matt, I didn't mean that he could read minds, but they've now referenced his actual name, and growing up and all that, which is a big thing to just leave out there (not that I think they wouldn't)

Art Crawl!!!

I think it's just the replacement too.

I like 3 better than Xena.

I just rewatched all of Season 3. Okay, it's only 4 episodes - but they are EPIC. I'm hoping that in addition to interesting things happening with the fleet (collaborators etc) we will get scenes with the Cylons. Will Six, 3 and Baltar stay on New Caprica with the Baby? Where will they live? In the tunnels of the resistance?

I'm also wondering what Anders will do now? Did you guys notice how particularly shocked Tigh, Kara and Gaeta seemed in the big reunion on Galactica scenes? I thought it was interesting that Tigh and Gaeta wound up on the same ship.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Torchwood torrents are hitting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As I understand it, the humanoid Cylons have individual personalities, which are what get reincarnated -- you don't get reincarnated as a generic Three, you get reincarnated as yourself.
