Anyway, about that couple hundred mph pitch that Jack hit Dylan in the head with. How come Dylan wasn't killed instantly?

Jack's pitching arm isn't as good as he thinks it is?

I really wish this ep had aired in production order -- the relationships all felt like they took a weird step backwards. (Lines like "I'll never get used to this town," and the whole thing with Zoe getting used to the school, etc.)

Yeah, I thought the same thing, DX.

I liked this one a lot. They're really good at the funny.

Yeah, I thought Dylan should be dead, too. But that would be Not Charming!

And I agree about the out-of-order-ness, but I just slotted it in in my head, like I had missed it the first time.

Just watched the "Angels and Demons" episode of Blade. I'm confused--I thought they said that Chase was turned by a Leichen--her husband, played by Bacic.

I assumed her husband left Cthon to join the hippy blood-bath house, considering their big thing is they don't feed off humans. Would be kind of weird if they still killed them to make them into vampires.

If so, I don't get the house thing at all. And I don't see why they were all "Ha! You purebloods are not immortal!" when Marcus killed one with what looked like conventional means.

Well, considering the purebloods we saw in the movies died just as easily as any other vampire, I think it was meant to be more of a "Ha, we made something that kills you but not us, so how are you better?" sort of deal. Could have been worded a lot better.

What I'm trying to figure out is how Krista managed to get drunk, since I thought it was established earlier in the season that human food and drink just made vampires sick.

The killing of vampires is getting pretty ridiculous, though. I really doubt the tomahawk Marcus had in his office had a silver blade, and since when did slitting a vampire's throat (with a spike heel, no less)dust them?

Raisin Nut Bran:

Yeah, the out of orderyness of tonight's episode of Eureka really stood out at points. Stark being more amused with Carter than hating him, Carter and Zoe trying to adapt, Jo taking serious offense at the "assistant" line, etc. Still, it was enjoyable. And I'm with Carter that "holo baseball" or whatever it was is just wrong.

Dylan ought to have been killed instantly. The only reason that baseball to the head didn't explode his brains out is because it's tv and they didn't want to have the hero kill the stupid kid.

We should've known he was going to be the "bad guy" when we saw the pompadour...

Colin makes such a good sad face. Made me feel sorry for poor Jack. His crazy new town even made his favorite comfort sport into something weird and baffling.

(So not generic.)

They do feel out of step in this episode. I liked it; the trying to keep up, trying to be good enough, trying to fit in theme. It was a little sadder than the others. Also very funny. I have to cap that Yorick scene. And I LOVED the, "is that subtle enough for ya?" while the Section 5 scientists (who are so young!) gagged over their meals. And yay for Fargo's bumbling breaking the case. There was a lot to like about this episode. "You know I have a gun. It's loaded. And I'm pretty good with it." I'm not quoting exactly, I'm sure.

I'm so glad you guys aren't mad about it airing out of order - irritated to be sure and rightly so - but not mad. For us it was hard that they didn't air in the right order. A lot of the arcs were plotted to have this one air third and I was really worried that it wouldn't work at all in this order.

The "why's it look like me?" and "it's generic" were improvised because, sadly, it did look like me and, sadly, it is generic. Love acting with Joe.

It came out better than I thought.

I like the work Snark was doing in this episode. I like where he and Salli are going.

I gave the mini disc thing to Andy and Jamie so no commentary for me this week, and I'm jeaous that someone else is playing with my favorite toy.

So not generic. Funny exchange, though.

I think the main thing that's suffered from the episodes' being out of order is the relationship between Jack and Zoe.
