Willow ,'Bring On The Night'
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.
Pierre's forgiveness seemed unbelievable
On the one hand, yeah, but on the other, who cares? I'm okay with a show fudging some of the minor elements of the episode as long as it stays true to the main characters, and to whatever elements (tone, sci fi conventions) drew me to the series in the first place.

Yes. At first I was in the camp of listen-to-the-sheriff-that's-not-Pierre's-call about going to jail. Then I hand waved it with cryogenics not being attempted murder. He was just giving him an extended vacation. And, most importantly, we wont see the characters again.
But I am pissed about the scientist who stole the work and they were all laughing buddies at the end. That might be a me thing though.
Allison/responsibility
I didn't really grok this until it was pointed out here. I just took it in stride as part of Carter's personality.
That's what I had meant before.
I brought this up one other time when the cups seemed empty, and Colin said that they usually have liquid in them
But cold liquid they're not afraid of spilling! Sadly, mashed potatoes would suffer from this as well...

I'm telling you, marbles. Might not help the realism of a coffee-having scene, but it would be comedy gold on the DVDs' extras.
no, it definitely had a logo, and that logo matched the one on the outside of the shop.
Rats, there goes that theory. Ok, so Charlie gets brought in to Eureka for his gem-growing skillz so they - GD or the DOD - can have all the Lasers O'Death they want. And encourage Charlie to open a little jewelry shop, because at this point, they have caught the vision of developing Eureka into a place to grow future generations of scientific geniuses. They want to encourage the resident geeks to pair off (and/or send for their sweethearts from the wide world beyond Eureka town limits), settle down, be brilliantly happy and thus innovative and productive while never needing to venture into the aforementioned world. And while they are at it, produce a bumper crop of the world's most terrifyingly smart rugrats. Whereas most towns of 3,000 cannot support a jeweler, the disposable income of the average Eureka resident might make the difference.

I'd have to rewatch (oh, the sacrifices I make), but it looked to me like something that used to be very common: an off-the-shelf receipt book rubberstamped with a name and logo.
In a place that relied on precision time pieces, I can see the need for a watch repair man, especially back in the pre-electronics days. And since his talents wouldn't be required full time, I can see him opening a watch and jewelry shop, even back in the old days. The guy who did the scientific glassblowing at my grad school had a similar arrangement. He did vacuum manifolds by day, and glass swans and such in his spare time which he sold in a shop off campus.
About mistakenly calling Pierre's old buddy "George" last night, I figured out where I got it from upon rewatching. It was the "Geo Land Jewelry" sign. I must've latched onto the Geo as short for George.

And I can confirm that the logos matched.

I had George Reeves in my head from Pierre's hair, glasses, and pants. When he protectively did the Superman stance in front of D. Fargo as they were caught in the records room, then I really had it in mind. I couldn't remember his friend's name, but I would have been primed for George. But now that I've read about Geo Land Jewelry, that makes more sense.

THAT'S IT. I knew that Pierre was evoking a visual that I recognized. Thank you for nailing it. It was George Reeves as Clark Kent.
I totally thought he was Fred Savage. Seriously.
I can confirm that those were not high school pictures of Colin. I'm tempted to root through what I have, but I'm fairly sure I lost any university pictures of him to Katrina.
He totally had cute hair.
