I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee! I totally would.

Yeah, I had big issues with the placement of the silos. The architecture of the exterior of the Sheriff's office seems to be older than the 50's, so Main Street would have to be that old....unless the Silos were around the Sheriff's Office... then again, Main Street might have been something else - like part of a millitary base and all that stuff was assumed to be defunct - like some of the New York subways.

I might be over thinking things.

And yes, I now understand handwaving. I understand that it's more common than not on TV but, personally, I'm shooting for a little as possible. It always bugs me a bit.

I now hear that next year we'll be getting darker in tone. Interesting.

Oh, the numbers held again - down a slight bit (from 2.0 to 1.96) basically we're holding. Which is good.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Colin--I don't know if you saw my speculating upthread, but I was wondering if Thatcher's thoughts are gone from Jack's head, or if we're going to be seeing some repercussions from the events of this week's ep at some future time.

Also, is Eugenia coming back? Because I really liked her and her chemistry with Zoe.

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

I now hear that next year...

Next year? That is good news.

...we'll be getting darker in tone.

As long as it's not Battlestar Eureka. (Although others might feel differently.)

Heh, I was going to mention that...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eureka is super-cute, and I don't care so much about the sense-making. So there.

I loved the Power Walk of the old geniuses going into their forgotten lab to kick some physics butt one last time.

Totally! And I can see Thatcher (weird Grey's Anatomy resonance there) bringing Eugenia along just because of the 40 years of catching up.

This season won't have those guys back, but I know the writers have every intention of keeping the characters coming back.

Oh, and definately not "Battlestar" dark. We'd have to keep the humour of the show or I think we do ourselves a big disservice. I think they want to bring some darker tones into the show "as is". And bring in a more serial element.

And I was being hopeful saying "next year", but there are no promises yet.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I might be over thinking things.

Well, you're certainly in the right place for that. That may be the buffista raison d'etre.

We overthink, therefore we are...

Just told I got the numbers wrong. We actually gained a bit in key demographics and are still holding over 2. Apologies.

I was asking them what the airing order is and they said "Next week is when Eureka gets a drug problem" and the next episode is "what happens when someone who left, comes back." If that gives you something.

I'm nervous about next week's episode because it was the second one we shot. I'm curious how it compares.
