It's that or refer him to an archived thread from before the Phoenix Board existed to review the genesis of the concept. Which is the lesser evil?

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm more than happy to step unto the breach. I mean, compared to RPS?

Ooh, right. I had blocked that out forgotten about that.
Guess it's not so bad...

He should like having the BBOC factor. It's a compliment.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I love this show, but the science doesn't bear close examination.
Yeah, although at least they had some of the chemistry stuff right this time. PEG is used for exactly what Allison said it was used for. PCE (pentachloroethylene) is used for dry cleaning, but it's a liquid, not a powder. OTOH, Aluminum 26 doesn't exist naturally on the earth (although it has been made synthetically), and is unlikely to be present in moon rocks, either (or at least, not anymore :) ). Henry should've referred to it as an isotope, not an element. It does, however, make for a nice homage to Star Trek's transparent aluminum.

I think that we're supposed to assume that Eureka has improved everything, so PCE doesn't have to be a liquid, it's a powder now, and it's better!

They haven't improved public safety any. How many people have died due to industrial mishaps in the past year out of a population of 3,000?

But we don't have a control number of dead people. They could be also doing quite well if they release a medicine that saves 3000 people the first year.
