A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) 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.
I've heard not-good things about Life, unfortunately. But maybe the show will be better than the pilot -- I hope so, for the sake of the cast.
I've seen the first 2 eps of Eureka S2 and they were really, really good. Definitely a darker show this season, but not at all lacking in characteristic Eureka quirk. (The dark comes through stronger than the quirk when the eps don't have complete soundtracks yet.)
Colin if you're around, can you confirm that "Phoenix Rising" is the premiere and "Try, Try Again" is the 2nd ep? (They're in reverse order on the DVD, but watching TTA first just didn't make a whole lot of sense. I think they just laid the chapters down backwards when they sent out the screeners.)
According to my DVR, “Phoenix Rising” is the episode that is airing on Tuesday.

I watched a couple of the clips, and they were Not Good.

Oh, good. I was worried SciFi had already started messing with the broadcast order again!
You mean the very first episode or the season 2 premiere?
The very first episode. I think I was watching Psych when Eureka aired.
Hey guys!!!
Yeah Phoenix is first in airing order - of season two. We shot Try Try Again first so that everyone could find their groove - it's a much simpler episode. But Phoenix was always supposed to air first.
The director on Try was passing a kidney stone while we were shooting so ... well it's not my favorite we've shot all season...
We started 212 yesterday in Chiliwack and we wrap the show on the 21rst. Two left to shoot!
And all told I have 13 commentaries in my computer. Do you guys have 13 on the dvds? I can't wait to see them.
I'm hitting up Fargo for a commentary on Try Try Again - we'll do that on Friday - and Lupo and Vincent will probably do the premiere.

Sounds like it was not his favorite either.
You know an actor is working hard on a show when he refers to his fellow actors as their characters...
Yay for new Eureka Tuesday!

What a great idea. I often have trouble with season premieres precisely because the actors don't seem comfortable yet. I remember feeling that way with almost every Buffy season opener.
I'll have to pick up some more blank tapes so I can tape both Eureka S2 and Doctor Who S3. (Yes, I haven't got a TiFaux yet--hopefully soon, though!)
Actually, I just finished watching the last few episodes of DW S2 today--for some reason, I taped them but never got around to watching them back in January. Loved the ep with both the guy who played Blythe in Band of Brothers and Moaning Myrtle--it must have given both Billie Piper and David Tennant a bit of a break not to have too much screen time to film. The one after that, about the London Olympics, was rather stupid, IMO. But the finale was wonderfully done, tying in Torchwood and the alternate Earth and giving Rose a nicely teary sendoff.
Definitely looking forward to Season 3 now!
