Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
Two notes:
- Maybe it wasn't the concussion alone that caused the device to spaz out, but the fact that Jack's memories were recently wiped, too.
- The reason some of the people had different positions (Henry not at GD, Stark in charge) was that the device wasn't up to date with changes in Eureka. So it wasn't Jack making up the people in the VR, so much as the already established databases on each resident.
- how scary is that?
Bear McCreary says that the BSG record comes out in October. I wonder if that means that the dvds won't come out 'til October?
Dr. seems to be fairly evenly applied to men, less to Allison. Did Kim get a title when referred to by a title? Or was she mostly referred to by her first name.
I liked that Lupo was moving herself "towards more light" in the first scene after the therapy device. I thought that was clever foreshadowing.
der...
Ok, the title issue - isn't Allyson an actual M.D. (or heck, D.O. even, but I read her as a little more M.D., and don't get me started on the differences between osteopaths and M.D.s, just don't)? Which muddies up the issue for me. Ph.D.s often do not use their titles in social context, but only in professional context, but physicians typically are addressed as "Doctor" unless one is on first name basis. But then again, it's not like Allyson is really in practice any more, barring the occasional physical or emergency at G.D. Does a semi-retired-from-practice doctor loose the honorific, or does she get called "Doctor" only when she's just pulled the stethescope out of the freezer and put it to your chest? I'd be going with "Doctor Blake" except for those who are on a first name basis with her.
ETA: Definitely overthinking this. P.S. Liked the episode, liked the cheese: "Where else would we be? Jack's our sheriff and Zoe is our girl." Of course, if that had come from anyone but Vincent, it would have been kinda creepy.
I think that she must have chosen not to use her title, though many people know that she has it.
Oh my, I love this episode.
It reminds me of a story I read ages ago about an inescapable prison, also with the psychological insight of the hero into himself.

I finally finished season 1 of Dr. Who. I'm all sad now. I'll miss CE as the Doctor. However, what I've heard of the current Doctor sounds like it's all good, too. I didn't care much for Billie Piper in the beginning, but by the end I was totally in love with her. I hope PBS keeps on repeating from there, I'm kinda hooked.
