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.

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

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I loved the Power Walk of the old geniuses going into their forgotten lab to kick some physics butt one last time.
I do wonder what Eugenia was doing there, though. Her talk of him explaining the stars and planets to her didn't make me think she was a Eureka-level genius, but she came into the lab with the guys like she'd been part of the "crew." Hand-wavey, whatever - I like Eugenia. Love to see her again.
(I think Jack has better chemistry with Eugenia than Allison.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Maybe that part of town wasn't there when they built it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Then there would've been no park or sundial back then, either. The town was already an established concern when Thatcher built the death ray. t Continues to wave hands...

Why not? The current Main street could be only 20 or so years old, but the park much older.

exactly. think of how much a typical suburb can change in 20 years, much faster if scientist keep blowing stuff up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Or maybe when the point of your deathray is mutually assured destruction, you don't really care that much about Main Street.

If the story/characterization/timing/etc are all good, hand-waving is easy and fun.
Unless you're me, and then characterization can be handwaved a lot more easily than plot can.
I suspect it's for the best that my DVR mysteriously failed to record last night. Maybe it was acting in self-defense.

The town was built specifically for as a place for the scientists to live, which to me means the main parts of town would've been built first. And even if they weren't, why would they then stupidly build Main Street right over the doomsday weapon in its silo.
