Is season one of Eureka coming out on DVD?

Ack. I only scored 54% the first time through the geography quiz, and I ran out of time before I could answer the last question.

I didn't realize how to work the map at first and got around 30%. But the next couple of times I got around 70%. It's the African countries and the "-stan"s that get me, I always seem to be one country over.

Should I register for team US or team UK?

ETA: Dammit, they can tell I'm Canadian!!!

Little Cindy Lou Who - I wonder where she is now....

Honest to god, the friend I am driving home with for Christmas, her last name is Wu. And her brother just named his newborn daughter (ok, a few months ago) Cindy Lu Wu. Seriously. I mean, sure, most of her life people will only know her as Cindy Wu. But STILL!!! I'm supposed to get to meet her while I'm there for Christmas. I'm looking forward to it.

I missed the first half hour of Lost Room. How did the cop/daughter discover it to begin with? I came in when she put the teddy bear inside.

I don't know when they're going to run the first episode of The Lost Room again-- it'll probably run in full this weekend, I'm guessing. It is six hours. I'm also guessing there's a pilot in there somewhere for a series without the stars of the mini.

I am curious about the mythology for the whole thing, but aside from the need for the big picture I'm enjoying the problemsolving that's going on.

See, I can't fully explain it, but I LOVE what they've done about the master concepts for the show-- it's a creative and satisfying explanation-- Jaybrams WISHES he could have had something like this for Alias and Chris Carter is gently weeping. And I'm not even sure it's going to be the right one, but it's ambitious, has tons of potential, and is, again, really creative. And I can't explain just how satisfying it is to have that explanation right up front; avoiding hiding the ball for dramatic effect makes me so pleased. As you probably know from improv, holding back an explanation for something makes it almost impossible to satisfy, but is much easier to write (have I mentioned how much this ISN'T like Lost?). OK, gotta get to watching part 2.

Cop was called in to investigate a murder scene where the Weasel had exploded some people who were involved in a purchase of the key for $2MM. (Admittedly I wasn't paying complete attention at this point.) Somehow he found someone who was at the scene of the purchase, who was later killed, and passed the key onto the cop before he died. He left the key out and his daughter started playing with it.

House: This cop needs to find himself with a mysterious disease. I am very tired of this storyline, but I'm looking forward to the trial. Hell, House is probably going to pull himself out of the pit all by himself.

And Cameron continues to need slapped.

I will freely admit my attention span is for shit, and I have been writing Christmas cards while watching both nights, but I'm still waiting for the explanation. I mean, I know there are various theories, held by various people, but did I miss where we already know the origin of the room, or how the objects gained their powers? I'm confused. (Which is not unusual.)

I'm so glad others are watching, too!

There seem to be two popular theories, that it involves a way to communicate with god, or the one I am praising, the idea that God died in that room, and his powers were distributed among the objects. IIRC.

ETA: these may be the theories you heard of; there's no evidence either way.

Okay, those are the two theories I know -- I thought I missed where we knew one of them was the actual answer. I'm with you, though -- I *love* the theory you love. So interesting.
