Tivo just announced that they're planning to offer second-by-second ratings reports. (As seen on Max Headroom!) So, again, if you skip ads, it might be an issue.
Man, just ascend already.

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 are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Really enjoyed the episode. Still not sure how much I like this whole conspiracy/consortium thing, but the characters/actors are hooking me, esp. the whole Carter/Jo vibe.
That's a lot of slashes for a no-slash-intended comment.

Dangit, I skipped Eureka last night since I had rehearsal. I was planning to catch a rerun.
Why is there no rerun? At all?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Folks, there is no need to whitefont stuff that's going on as the episode airs.
But it’s fun!
It confuses ita no end.
Bonus! Until she kills me with her pinky.
The SciFi rep at Comic Con (can't remember whether it was BSG or SG) were very insistent that people not Tivo things, because it affects the ratings. I can't imagine how -- if a Tivo is recording the first broadcast, how is that interpreted by a Nielson box any differently than a human watching? -- but that's what they said.
This doesn’t make any sense. If you aren’t home to watch something, you’re supposed to record what you _would_ have been watching if you were home, so it shouldn’t matter. If there’s a box, it should register either that the TV is off, or that the channel has changed to the Eureka.
Australian. The place they're in is his, and with the Australian flag, and boomerangs, and Kangaroo Crossing signs, and everything, yeah, supposed to be Australian.
I think that the accent is deliberately terrible, and we’re going to find out that was some vet assistant in Kansas or something and decided to reinvent himself in Eureka

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The Comcast schedule for the second show was wacky for me too, and my faux Tivo was busily recording the appalling superhero thing while thinking it was "Eureka". I just set it to record the next two hours and hoped for the best, and it was there this morning. The machine still thinks it's "Dead Like Me", though.

I actually find the superhero thing kind of funny. I'm not sure why.

The tiny bit I've stumbled across was so embarrassing, I'd need a longer hall to watch it from.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm sad people don't like Who Wants To Be a Superhero. I'm really enjoying it.

Art Crawl!!!
There was a rerun: it was just an hour later than Comcast said it was.
Plus, I believe it repeats later in the week.
I may be imagining that though.
