Dawn ,'Storyteller'
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.
you make some good points, Austin, but I can't shake the feeling that, while quirk, angst, ambiguously nefarious plotting work within the show, what they did with Jo isn't fitting for me. Maybe it's realistic, but it doesn't feel right, and I'm not much having with the faith that the writer's will have Jo see the light.
Another thing that bugged was the writer's trotting out the old stereotype that science and faith don't mix and perpetuating the misconception.
Can I change CFerg's user name to "Hot Lunch"?

I thought the point of the ep was exactly the opposite.
As for the magical kid, I think his colour is irrelevant to the trope, so he's just magically handicapped.

Yeah. Go check out the Wikipedia entry for "Akashic Records". Very mystical/new-agey stuff that scientists have glommed onto as a possible "unified theory". Funny how they'll accept a mystical solution to the problem as long as it doesn't include the big "G" word.

Who is this "they" of which you speak?
Amazon finally fixes the pricing error on their listing of the Razor dvd.
I bet when it ships I'll get a message showing the price dropping from the original wrong price all the way down to whatever it is now.
Can I change CFerg's user name to "Hot Lunch"? It's a little too perfect.
Oh please yes please ita please. Of course then my husband will never let me post here again. I came home from a bad, hard, long meeting last night and he started asking me about it. I finally said, "I don't want to talk about it. I just want to eat some cookies and watch Jack." I didn't even have the diplomacy in me to say, "Eureka."
