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.
However good Coupling could have been, I prefer Colin on Eureka. I think the main reason Coupling failed is Jeff. He's a very delicate balance of adorable and really sick. US!Jeff couldn't pull that off, not even close. Also, chopping scripts was done clumsily.
I'll be very interested to see Jane's touch on BSG, since I don't see the show as pushing back the darkness at all, and the lighter moments (to me) never get lighter than tenderness (like Admiral and President)--I don't believe I've laughed even a handful of times.
Yeah, we don't really know what's up with Peter's prophetic dreams. He also dreamt about Nathan.
Agreed. I'm really starting to suspect it's a facet of Peter's abilities more than anything else ... his genral "empathy" having been emphasized so much.
A side note: Hiro's timestop power gives him a shot against the dinosaur. (Timestop. Stab. Timestop. Stab. Timestop - run like hell.)
(I'm assuming he will have to kill the dinosaur for some reason - otherwise he could skip the "Stab" and move straight to "run like hell" or "teleport out".
I'm assuming he will have to kill the dinosaur for some reason
I just keeping thinking of Homer Simpson's line, "Uh oh, this is gonna cost me." in a similar situation when he sneezed and dinosaurs started dropping like flies. (And Hiro was thinking the same thing.)
otherwise he could skip the "Stab"
Maybe he'll have another accidental jump, like when he ended up on the roof of his office?
Maybe he'll end up in the animatronic ride with the dinosaurs in EPCOT?
was it here or over at TWoP that I read that Hiro could end up at a museum, which is where there would be swords and dinosaur skeletons and statues?
Cuz as geeked out as I am over Hiro facing off against a T-rex in theory, I cringe at the thought of it's execution.
Hmm. The museum theory sounds plausible.
A question: What happens when Peter meets the Haitian? Does the Haitian dampens Peter's power first so that Peter can't siphon off his ability? Or does Peter take on the Haitian's power for power-dampening so that Haitian no longer has that power, in which case Peter can't have it either, except he had it and... what? Or maybe they mutually mind-wipe each other and both of them become drooling idiots.
Or perhaps this is one of those matter/anti-matter scenarios which will unravel the fabric of space-time continuum and make life as we know it cease to exist. Or something.
Ha. That is confusing. Is the Haitian's power always on, or is it directed?
Hiro! With a sword! Fights a dinosaur!
Maybe it's a metaphorical dinosaur. Where do you suppose that sword is?
so that Haitian no longer has that power, in which case Peter can't have it either, except he had it and... what? Or maybe they mutually mind-wipe each other and both of them become drooling idiots.
Why would the Haitain no longer have his power? In none of the scenarios we've seen so far has Peter's reflection of other heroes' powers affected the original heroes' powers. Realistically, the Haitian wouldn't even know Peter had such a power, let alone the Haitain's own (albeit temporarily) unless it was explained or shown to him that that is what Peter's power is. And I suspect that the mind wipe requires some kind of concentrated effort, like Hiro and teleporting/jumping around in time.
