Willow ,'Empty Places'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.
Henry's on to Thorne, and so is Carter, yay!
But, way cooler, it seems that the writers are holding onto the fact that Henry still has a secret he's keeping from Jack. Which either means the memory wipe (yay!) or something new (boo!).
Loved the continuation of the mutual Carter/Stark Disappreciation Society, but having them synchronize the same dialogue two weeks in a row is a bit much. Cute the first time, pushing the formula a bit much the second go round.
I can't believe they used the "for one of these characters...the episode that changes everything" in a Eureka preview. Ugh.
Also, the science in this episode - not so scientific, I think. I mean I'd expect Stark and Carter to be parboiled from standing that close to the lake, let alone the breakthrough point underground.
However, SARAH's line about sarcasm made me LOL big time.
Umm Eureka science is seldom like science as we know it. That applies to SciFi movies and series in general. I mean, I hope nobody ever tries to use Dr. Who as a textbook.

Yeah, yeah, I know. But for some reason, when you're messing with something that's talked about in the show as being 3000 degrees, I'd like to at least have some kind of force field mentioned if you're going to end up that close to it. I don't mind crap science as long as the internal logic of the piece somehow supports the crap science.
Well, either a force field or Stark saying "Our raging UST is so hot that not even magma can touch us."
And last week, when a poor choice of light spectrum caused changes in the water which turned people into lizards, that didn't bother you?

Double "ugh". And, also, what's with airing the promo before the episode ends? Stoopid promo monkeys.
I groaned when Stark and Carter walked *closer* to the lava spurting into the lake. Seriously. Guess it wasn't that dangerous.
I know I missed a bit due to a phonecall, but when did Carter learn to drive that underground contraption?
Nice to see the sexual harrassment chick again. You know, the hottie who's totally doing Daniel Jackson. Lexa Doig or something?
Now we just need the vet back.

Well, that just sounded like flabotanum to me, so easier to swallow. 3000 degrees? I kinda have an idea what that might be like (500 degree oven x 6).
I've stood about two feet in front of an open glassblowing oven, which runs right around 2400 degrees. You're sweating in about ten seconds, true, but it's not like it melts your face off.
That being said, walking toward the hot lava is still not a very smart idea.
Or as a fireman once told me seriously, "Never run towards a fire"...
Even with the rubbery science, I still enjoyed the silliness and the characters, and the advancing storyline, particularly Henry being smarter this time around.
I love that they had a snot monster!
And the robot dogs - and Fargo cheating by using a real dog.
