'Objects In Space'


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.

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.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

"It's a death ray" is hilarious.

Is it just a coincidence that NASA just recently lost the footage of the moon landing recently?

And you'd think that Fargo would know better than to just TURN ON THE STRANGE MACHINE he finds in the bowels of Globotech. Hence the handwaving.

I love the Scottish physicist.

I really like this ep.

And you'd think that Fargo would know better than to just TURN ON THE STRANGE MACHINE he finds in the bowels of Globotech.

So far, I haven't seen any limits to Fargo's lack of common sense.

Could explain the Office Space solution to his "own office". They'll take his Swingline if he doesn't watch it.

The kiss was adorable. Jo=teh HOTTT.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I did like that the speech Thatcher gave included what we thought was just nonsensical babble. I don't like dementia issues being played for a joke.

Most of what Thatcher said sounded to me as though he was talking to himself in code or mnemonics. His babbling came across as stuck in his own little world, and not bothering to explain himself to those not inside it, rather than irrational, feverish babbling.

I rather liked the ep. but think Fargo needs to live in a group home. Jack kissing Eugenia was adorable, much better than the good luck kiss. And I loves me some old geeks, I'd leave Daniel in a heartbeat for 'em.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

End PCR.

Uhhh, polymerase chain reaction? t /acid flashback to molecular biology

Fargo has now officially caused enough mayhem that when I look at Neil, he's Fargo, and no longer The Mouthbreather. And The Mouthbreather was a difficult role to shake, yo.

Jo in a dress = hot. Joss in a dress with a gun in her garter = HOTTT.

Fargo turning on the death machine was actually based on Andy - our Exec Producer. He wrote it because he can't pass by a button, switch, or knob without pushing, flipping, or turning it.

It was fun to watch Set Dec and Props drop everything and watch him very closely every time he passed through a set we were shooting on.
