It would have been entertaining if they'd just wandered about the Home for Old Geniuses asking, "Do you remember the deathray? Do you know how to turn it off?"
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

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.

The town has been there a lot longer than the weapon, right? Why would anyone, especially a bunch of folks who are really, really smart, put it right under Main Street?
Maybe that part of town wasn't there when they built it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Even with all the hand-wavey bits, I still liked the ep. The woman who played Eugenia was wonderful; I hope she shows up occasionally in future eps, since she and the daughter had great chemistry together. And are we going to see bits of Thatcher's thoughts buzzing through Jack's for a while longer?

Oh, and i loved the kiss between Eugenia and Jack. Especially when Eugenia said "hush, Zoe" or whatever she said. It was a very sweet moment, there was a terrific expression on Colin's face right before Jack realized that he wasn't Thatcher

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It was certainly implied we would. I liked the "Did I say we again?"
But then, we've been getting mostly standalone, so I dunno that we'll see too much bleedover. Maybe an allusion or so.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I liked the way the kiss was filmed, too. Was it Colin in the flash-backy bit before we see that it's Jack in reality? It seemed like it might have been him in that particular young Thatcher blurry shot. If so, I like the representation of the twisted lines between Jack's identity and Thatcher's memories.

My biggest problem with the ep was not enough Jo (again), though the scenes she was in were fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
'Tis my understanding that bits will come back, though I have no idea if this is one of them.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I LOVED the Jack/Eugenia kiss, especially for that blissed-out expression on Jack's face before he realized what was going on. It a very aww! moment. Plus, the actress who played Eugenia was just terrific.
I handwaved like mad for the rest of the bit and the suspenders of my disbelief totally snapped 10 minutes into the show, but I find I don't care that much about wacky science on this show, since it's not really meant to be taken seriously.
