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.

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

Now, I understand that the FBI guy's job is just to catch Sarah, but could he at least acknowledge that there's something weird going on?

Who knows - that may be why he's trying to find her (that is, he knows SOMETHING is up, but wants to know exactly what). I think all he said to Dean Winters was that his interest in the case wasn't in a missing girlfriend.

Or he may just be channeling Inspector Javert.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I thought he had acknowledged in the second ep, something about his tone made me think his scope might be widening.

Yeah, in the second EP, some weird fact related to Sarah came out, and an FBI dude asked him, "Do you know this woman?" or words to that effect, and he said, "Less and less."

I think the relationship between Sarah and FBI guy will end up like Angel and that cop lady....

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

After FBI guy interviewed the fiance, we saw terminator eyes reflected in a monitor screen. What was up with that?

Oh yeah, forgot about that. That confused me at the time, but I figured he must be a terminator. But at this point in the story that doesn't seem to make sense, does it?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Which episode are we on now? Cause I saw this one, and I saw the very first one, but I forgot that it was a Special Two Night Premiere and missed the intervening one. Is that the only one I missed, or was there one more?

Anyway, it makes me confused.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Didn't he effectively do that in the pilot, when he recounted the story of the "teacher" with the robot leg?

you mean with the sarcastic, dismissive tone?

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

After FBI guy interviewed the fiance, we saw terminator eyes reflected in a monitor screen. What was up with that?

That wasn't the FBI guy. That was Cromartie finding out about Sarah's alias. That's how he knew to call for John Reese.

you mean with the sarcastic, dismissive tone?

I found it to be a tone of growing belief in the unbelievable.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

you mean with the sarcastic, dismissive tone?

I didn't hear that tone. It struck me as almost ambiguous, bordering on "I can't believe I heard that, am saying this, and am believing it" Like he can't believe it, and yet, there it is in front of his face.

P-C said it more better.
