Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Womack ,'The Message'


Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.  

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.

They actually got a bit of weird science right though. There really is such a thing as liquid breathing.

Been a round a while. Saw it demonstrated with a hamster when I was a kid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Didn't they do the liquid breathing in abyss?

I mean, the people who could prove it true are, um, dead.

All you need is me, who has died in her dreams more than once and is still not dead. He only needs one exception to prove it false. True is someone else's position.

Don't tell him I said so, but when he worked improv in Montreal and I was running lights or sound the standups would sometimes hang out in the back of the room and make bets on when the clothes would start coming off.

Any trauma that might be coming is almost 20 years old. I'm good.

Did I detect a sly imagery jab when SARAH offered Zoe eggs and sausage?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought Zoe was going to refuse the sausage, and then I realized that's not really Eureka style.

yeah, my mind went there too.

I'm not sure I understand. 'Splainy, please.

Colin was an enthusiastic clothing-remover on stage. His own clothes, to be clear. And there certainly were enthusiastic Colin-removing-his-clothing onlookers, let me assure you.

I love that you clarified that. Heh.

The truth was that it was the easiest way to get a laugh. And that was the objective. It seemed to be my purpose in the troop for a while to be the 18 year old goof.

... and Ed and I were very confused about having to take off our clothes when the ladies never have to.

You don't ever need to justify taking your clothes off for your craft. Or our pleasure. Or laughs.

I am soo out of this conversation. But yay for tonights Eureka.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Didn't they do the liquid breathing in Abyss?

Yes, they did.

Hey, now. Partial nudity was more a side effect. Kinda win/win, I guess. Audience certainly enjoyed it.

Just doing a little bit to nudge the balance far away from the cheesecake side of things. Is there more (she asks abstractly)? I mean, did it happen a lot, or just once or twice a season?

It is odd, but mostly because it's usually the other way round--but it's so much easier to play male nudity for laughs than it is female nudity.
