Yeah, I liked this ep.

I'm with you on the hand waving for the science. We try to fix it but they actually stop us. It's the strangest dynamic. Joe wants to blow his brains out some days when they won't let him fix some stuff.

Anyway, it's bedtime. More tomorrow.

Yeah. Ed's good. They kept trying to get him to make his lines towards me mean ("Don't screw it up, Carter") and he just wouldn't bite. He didn't do it once and I think he made the right choice.

Hi, Cferg. It's nice to see you here.

Ed's good. They kept trying to get him to make his lines towards me mean ("Don't screw it up, Carter") and he just wouldn't bite. He didn't do it once and I think he made the right choice.

There's a delicate, perfect balance of antagonism, competition, and respect that he hits so well. It's believable, and true to the characters. Also, piquant and hawt. They don't hate each other. They can get incredibly annoyed when they are working at cross-purposes, which is their default setting, but it is not too difficult to remind them when they are on the same side. The Carter/Stark dynamic will be missed. But I agree with those who hope its passing means there will be more room for the Henry/Jack stuff.

CFerg, there's a thread for spoilers if people are interested, or you can white font (just put an "s" and space at the beginning of the line). basically our rule is that we can only discuss things that have been aired on broadcast tv.

Just to clarify: The rule is no spoilers in this thread, white-fonted or not!

Glad you could stop by, Mr. Ferg.

I got some news though, I'm gonna be writing few comics for the Eureka comic - actually, maybe I'm flattering myself. Andy (Cosby) and Mark (Waid) will be pulling puppet strings and I will be thinking I am writing. We're thinking of a 4 or 5 parter and it would take place inbetween season one and two. It all went down today so I'm really excited about it.

Oh, that is exciting!

Why am I not at all surprised that Joe M. wants to fix the science?

I'm really liking this season so far, CFerg! With the sad-making exception, of course, but it will make the rest of the season more dramatic, for sure.

And that's cool news about the comic book, too!

Oh, that's right. I meant to say, Congratulations on the comic book writing. I'm imagining it's a blast to work on.

Oh, ghod, more comics to add to pulls. Yay!! Have fun with it CFerg.

And I have to totally agree with WindSparrow, Ed has a very good ear for the dynamics between Stark and Carter. I thought he knocked it out of the ballpark in the last episode.

Well that didn't take long

Sci Fi Channel isn’t about to let down “Stargate” fans.

The network is set to announce the order of a new series from MGM Television, “Stargate: Universe,” that will mark the third entry in Sci Fi’s longest-running original series franchise.

The greenlight comes on the heels of Sci Fi’s confirming Thursday that “Stargate: Atlantis” will not receive a sixth-season order. The “Universe” pickup ensures the continuation of the popular “Stargate” franchise, which has been on the air in various incarnations since 1997.

“Universe” will premiere as a two-hour movie early next year and will assume a regular hourly slot in the summer. Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, co-creators of “Stargate: SG-1” and “Atlantis,” will serve as executive producers and writers on the new series.

Welcome back and congrats, Colin!

I'm liking how there's some focus on Carter's healing friendship with Henry more this season, and the addition of Thorn as a no-nonsense bottom line type with a hidden agenda that may not be entirely villainous. That's somewhat counterbalanced by the over-the-top product placement and the fact that I cross my fingers for PoochieZane to be the science mishap casualty du jour every episode and get disappointed, but I am tuning in each week.

Scifi is marathoning season 3 of Eureka on September 2nd. (You know, in case anyone here has missed any episodes.)
