"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Aw, bless!

ita, you're incorrigible. Or encouragable. Or something.

BSG Razor dvd is available for pre-order.

Does it seem inordinately expensive to you guys? It did to me.

Do you think that the "deleted scenes" are the mini-sodes? Otherwise they don't appear to be on the disk.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Having been trained in the field of graphic arts and printing I can tell you that a straight printed slip like that was a pretty standard item before photocopiers. You paid for the one off logo to be made into a slug, and then when you needed more receipts made, you called up the printer and he slapped it into a frame with some movable type and ran off a bunch on the platen press.

Of course, this being Eureka, they probably had photo offset printing before everyone else, and maybe even photocopiers.

Also, I think part of grampa Fargo's speech was slipping into "back in my day" talk.

I can't recall, was he talking about when he got there, or when he got frozen? Eureka probably changed a lot in the interim. Hmmm.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think the weakest part of this ep was the actor playing Pierre -- especially once he got into the age makeup, I just couldn't follow the emotional arc of his story anymore because the actor was so stiff.

But I loved the Carter/Zoe moments, and the Zoe/Jo stuff early on, so yay main characters!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I agree, Jessica. I think the actor was aiming for reserved and out of his genre, but missed.

Zoe is really rocking it recently. Hitting all the nice notes there.

That price for the Razor dvd must be a mistake - it's listing for below $30.00 and DVD Empire has it for $21.18 (list price is $26.98).

Oh well geez. Where do I begin...

Yeah, Jane only helped break the story and then moved over to Galactica. So I don't know how much she provided beyond the story. But we were really excited to get her and really bummed when she moved on.

I have yet to watch it with the sound on so I can't really judge performance. But I hope the good takes were used for the scene with Zoe at the end.

Jordan was great on the day.

And as for my hair....ah. My 1985 hair was sadly still going off in 1990. Thanks to ita for digging that up. I must return the favour and dig up something during the "Grace Jones" phase.

And no, they were not photos of me from High school. I provided some but the didn't use them. I wanted one of my friend Holly and I going to her Formal (aka Prom) but my girlfriend at the time couldn't find it in the boxes here in LA.
