No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

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.

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.

Art Crawl!!!

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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

The Zoe/Carter scene at the end was great, Jordan rocked this ep, and that scene especially, so no worries there!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I've really been enjoying Jordan's work this season. And your work wasn't too shabby either, in that end scene. I like the character notes that have been happening lately.

In general I've been finding the disaster o' the week plot stuff weaker than the overall direction of the show. And of course, I always want more Henry!

I like that most of the threads don't seem to have been dropped at this point. I like that actions in one episodes have consequences in another episode, even if it's just relationship consequences.

The stuff with Jo is great; I adore the relationship. I just hope we don't go too far on the softer side stuff; she should always be tough and competent.

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

To save Colin the work: 1985, 1990. Some people have bad hair days--I had bad hair years. 1990 wasn't bad, but 1985 more than makes up for that.

Baby ita and baby Colin (Oy, what a crush I would have had) are - not to upset Pete by using his assigned adjective or anything - adorable. Ah, the 80s. And 90s. Kind of glad none of my pics (that I know of) are digitized. Stone-washed demin dress with shoulder pads and an asymmetrical collar anyone? Yeah.

Hmm. I thought tonight was Dr. Who, but I'm seeing that super heroes show. Bummer. (ETA: Duh. It's not Friday.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Kind of glad none of my pics (that I know of) are digitized.

Yeah. I never plan to get famous, but if I get so unlucky, at least I can count on the fact that I avoided the class of '87 high school yearbook shoot...
