River ,'Safe'
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.
That was really good. The acting did not feel season-openery at all. The filming-the-second-episode-first thingie was probably a big part of that. Well done!
very intrigued by TIN MAN. Especially the casting.
Yeah, it looked very Maguire-esque. I didn't notice the casting though. Who caught your eye?
Yeah, when Jack started to break a little there at the end... so did I. Yay, Colin, for bringing on the pain, ever so subtly.
As for Henry, I'm a-skeered of and for him now. Joe Morton rocks.
And I'm digging Allison in charge and Nathan in... a quandary.
In short - awesome premier.
Who caught your eye?
I spotted Alan Cumming, didn't I?
Yes you did - he plays Glitch. Whoever that is. And Callum Keith Rennie plays Zero, have no idea how big his part is but I hope it's interesting.
I spotted Alan Cumming, didn't I?
Oooh! And funny -- I was just trying to remember his name the other day. For some reason, I always confuse him with Alan Rickman.
I didn't notice the casting though. Who caught your eye?
As Ailleann said, Alan Cumming, but it's also got Neal McDonough (sp?) and Zooey Deschanel (again sp?). I saw a promo shot in TV Guide several weeks back. How they're defining the characters sounds like it's got a lot of potential.
I really liked this, I felt bad for Jack with his memories and trying to keep everything straight. I felt bad for Henry and I really thought he was going to wipe his memories too, until he smashed the thing. Which sets up an interesting dynamic between him and Jack. But I wonder if Henry was trying to set the part where Jack and Allison get back together straight with the book. I think Henry wiped Jack's memories so he could get another shot at bringing Kim back, that was the only way how, Jack would never let him do it and always be vigilant for that.
Oh! there's an article at zap2it.com about Eureka, but it's spoilery for this season so don't read it if you don't want to be spoiled. But there are some nice quotes in there for anyone who isn't spoiler averse.
How many episodes is it going to be?
Should be 13.
Seemed like this episode of Eureka was not nearly as comical as the typical previous episodes. I think I like the direction Eureka is going though. Henry's so dark now... and I like dark. And conspiracies... are always good. I just hope that they can keep up the comedic aspects of the show with the new tone.
The preview for next week seemed funny to me. Might be they can strike a good balance.
I don't think Henry's going to go all vengance on Jack--just that he doesn't want Jack interferring with his attempts to bring Kim back.
I like the way they did it. They set up possible relationships at the end of last season and then pulled the rug out from under us. Nice work.
That was a nice season opener, oh yes. I had a friend over who hasn't seen the show at all, and she was immediately caught up in the story and characters, which argues well that my enthusiasm isn't just coasting on the good feeling from last year....
