Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Nothing on Torchwood, yet? I caught up on the last two episodes. TKKS was wicked dark. Glad they added that little bit between Jack and Ianto at the end to lighten things up a little.

Random Shoes gave me allergies, which I wasn't expecting. I'm not sure exactly what happened there (or if the teacher who gave Eugene the eye knew something), but it was affecting nonetheless. Was Gwen hearing him all through the show, or just at certain intense moments?

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

I liked TKKs and Random Shoes really quite a lot.

I think she was sensing him more and more as time progressed, culminating in seeing him at the end.

I liked RS a lot too, but then I also loved "Love & Monsters" and "Blink", the equivalent Doctor-lite episodes.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I always forget that I like "Random Shoes" as much as I do, because the general awesomeness of "Blink" notwithstanding, I'm not a huge fan of bystander eps. This one is less bystandery than some, though, and it's really very sweet.

I love the use of music at the end, too. What a haunting song.

Everybody saw him at the end, right? Or do you think it's ambiguous and that everybody's shocked expressions may be in reaction to just Gwen?

I think everyone saw him at the end.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Just watched the tape, and everyone everyone saw Eugene.

I liked this ep lots, and I think the greatest thing about it was the decided lack of Torchwood the team. Every scene with Jack, Tosh Owen and even Ianto were in just seemed to highlight what a bunch of cold jackwads they all are. I liked Gwen when she wasn't with them.

does anyone have an ahem of or know the best way to ahem the last ep of Eureka? Ahemming makes me nervous for a multitude of reasons, but I'm desperate and will give it a shot if there is a "best" place for it.
