Tracy ,'The Message'
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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I can believe Carter as a competent sheriff with great common sense solutions that the brainiacs can't see. US Marshalls ain't stupid. Being competent at his job doesn't mean he can't be a goofball idiot in his personal life. Hence screwing up with the kid or gym clothes selections.
Eureka isn't alone in making a point over and over again. I can nitpick and love at the same time. It's a superpower.

A superpower shared by all true Star Wars fanatics.
I also nitpick because I care.
I didn't realize, when I made my work password BadWolf, how Doctor Who season 2 was going to end. Now I get a little bluesy whenever I log in. I have one more disc coming. Please let it not be all special features!
Eureka: The other issue I'm starting to have is why GD can't ever clean up its own messes. Lots of the stuff that Carter gets hauled in for seems more internal than criminal. And I guess it's just a company town, huh? Nothing else ever happens outside of it?
I didn't altogether mind the Finn/Megan thing. With Megan's apparent default state of bitchiness, I don't think it was altogether unwarranted, and Finn certainly knows what an exceptional kid is capable of doing.

yeah, what's the deal with the GD Security force? Is Carter the head of it, because he certainly orders them around enough? or is it Alison who's given him that authority?
If the Sheriff's car gets impaled, I think he gets to claim jurisdiction.
Tell me about it. We frequently have to remind the powers that be that it's less dumb vs. smart and more academic (or institutional) vs. legal... or the good version of that comparison.
I think if the characters are smart in different ways it makes for more compelling problems. I fear I take a bit of hit on that front ths year.
I think this ep was bad for it though.
It is not uncommon for people brilliant in different ways to not appreciate each other's talents. I think this is a theme that can work. I'm just feeling a bit defensive for poor Carter. He's bringing out my mamabear instincts.
Dang it, I have gotta stay out of this thread until I actually watch the episode. This is about the fourth time today I have landed in here and almost got spoiled. Sorry, CFerg, we have it recorded, but with our work schedules, it's impossible to watch with the rest of the nation.
