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.

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.)

The architecture of the exterior of the Sheriff's office seems to be older than the 50's

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I really liked this episode -- even with the handwaving, because I thought the characters and the quippage came together. Particular for That Colin Guy, who got a screen kiss that was simultaneously hot, funny, and weird....

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

It was a good kiss.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

My explanation for the under-main-street bit: Assumption: Them being under a building would be bad. Therefore: put them somewhere where there will not be buildings. Empty fields get developed, but main street is unlikely to move. So, put it under main street to prevent being built over.

End PCR.

"I exist". Excellent line. Excellent reading. Made me smile lots, which officially made this A Show That Makes Me Smile.
