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.

Thursday is out for me . But if I watch Reaper today, I can watch Eureka replay at 8:00 P.M. next Tuesday. True?

You trust Skiffy to be consistent? I'd tape/DVR the later showing rather than trust on next week.

Curiouser and curiouser - could Beverly be a secret good guy, despite her poisoning ways?

Dayum. Things are getting dicey. I'm actually a little confused, so I'm going to need to rewatch.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Tivoing the later showing of Eureka, watched House (it's shameless how they flirt), and now watching Tivoed Reaper, which I'm enjoying quite a bit. Actually, I just yelled, "This is my new favorite show!" but I'm not about to admit that.

I watched & taped Eureka and taped Reaper and have to re-tape Eureka because I accidentally switched channels while I was watching.

Sigh.

I enjoyed it. I don't know where I got the idea that the extra pompous artist that Shanks is playing may somehow be a reflection of Shanks himself.

So on that very last bit, was that a holo whipped up for the occasion, or did Henry and Beverly convince Allison about the mutation?

I wasn't home tonight, I tivoed Reaper, and Eureka is about to rebroadcast. Just watched Reaper and I LOVED IT. Sock will totally steal the show. I mean, how can he not with lines like Eat it, Heatmeister !! I whitefont because I think the line will be so much funnier if you're not expecting it, and I don't want to take that bark of laughter from anyone else.

Damn it, either my Reaper tape is screwy (and surely not - it's what I just watched K'ville on) or my vcr is - it won't let me watch.

So far, I've really liked what I've seen and I hope I can see the rest of it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I totally agree, Vortex. Tyler Labine cracks me up, as he did on Jake 2.0. I could not stop laughing every time he randomly threw something at Sam's head to test his telekinesis.

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who

Stark's still on the inside of GD or DOD somehow. Veddy intersting. Allison should be a whole lotta pissed.

The "plausible deniability" line was weak. If that's what he was going for Allison should not have been present when Stark signed to accept delivery of Beverly.

There had better be a big payoff next week because they never did explain how Bev went from coming in from the cold "to strategize" to cooling her heels in a cell in Guantanamo. I was also looking forward to a whole lot more scheming behind the scenes from her. Instead we hardly see her all season and when she finally shows back up her entire gig is blown. It's only Season 2 for crying out loud!

Some of the character choices also continue to dissapoint. For all of Henry's intelligence they've portrayed him this season as extremely gullible. And I'm tired of Ally as the anxious mom.

Amazingly, Andrew and Jamie both had credits for tonight's episode. It felt like they were putting all of their cards on the table at once. I wonder if they planned it that way or if they were forced into it because of the short season. The late season episodes last year were rushed as well. Maybe they also had to consider the possiblity of show not being picked up again and decided to try to wrap up the story arc in one fell swoop. It seems like the marketing support has been much weaker for the series this season.

Keeping fingers crossed that next week provides a satisfying finale.
