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.
I enjoyed the episode, but I'm getting real sick of "It sounds like they're talking about sex, but actually they're talking about something else." gag. It just feels done to death for me.
I am glad they avoided the "awkward confusion with relative" scene after Zoe spotted Allison's purse, though.
ETA: The same clothes scene with Stark was amusing, though.

Yes, quite.
In fact, "yes, quite" to your whole post.
It's funny the things that work and the things that don't work.
I have to wonder: what are you doing during sex that you get broken ribs from it??
I keep trying to answer this and getting distracted by laughter.
It's not that hard to break ribs. A bit of unregulated pressure/compression and you can definitely do it.
I hate that "Aha! Not talking about sex!" gag so much it's not even a gag anymore, but instead a prompt to work out what in hell they're actually talking about before they pan out and reveal it.
I thought for sure that "10% of our brains" fallacy was completely played out.

falling out of bed?

Me too, but he qualified it with "at one time" so I let it slide.

Yeah, that's the biggie for me. With "at one time" I'm just fine, even if the %age is a bit off.
I am ita on the not!sex gag, and I had thought the insurance thing was wrapped up, so I didn't consider it. I'm kind of a sucker for that gag, though, I think.
(Even if I'm still not sure I buy how using more of my brain at once would give rise to, say, telekenesis, but I chalk that up to never having been exposed to a glowy alien artifact. That I know of.)

So true, because I sat there waiting for them to reveal what they were really talking about. Having missed the first 15 minutes of the show, I'm inclined to wonder if the whatever signing was referred to in the teaser. If so, then I wouldn't be out of my mind to think I would have known what they were talking about.
I just woke up from a dream in which Jack Carter was renting an apartment in the upstairs of some middle aged, balding man's home. Instead of Zoe living with him, there was a 10 year old boy. The house burned down. Everyone got out safely, mostly due to the boy's alertness. The fire seemed to Jack to have been set deliberately by the owner of the house, but everyone in town believed that any evidence that pointed to a need for further investigation was due to benign wackiness in general rather than being suspicious. Stupid dream wasn't much more than a teaser, so now I will never find out what was going on.
