'Underneath'
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.
I'm less crazy about Lexi's big reveal to Duncan - because just lifting the magic-techno baby-bump hiding shirt without a word of explanation about the material is unreal.
Also, didn't Eureka used to be hidden away. Like, you make a right turn into what appears to be a dead end and then you're whooshed through an invisible portal into Eureka? Am I misremembering? What ever happened to that?
The producers seem to have 'forgotten' about that on account of the SFX costing too much.
My hand-wave is that there's a regular "long" way to Eureka that gets marked on maps, but several hidden shortcuts that are protected with various disguises.
The science was awful this time, but I thought Carter's chemistry with Tess was good, and she's able to match him wisecrack to wisecrack amazingly well. Best chemistry yet, I think.

I think the town itself is remote and hard but not impossible to find - Carter stumbled on it accidentally by having a car accident (which I think the super-smart mutant dog caused on purpose), so when he and Zoe had to walk to the nearest town to find a mechanic, they walked into Eureka. It is the Global Dynamics compound that is actively hidden behind optical (hologram?) illusion.

Ahhh, thanks.

I didn't have any problem with any of the performances, but I thought the script and plot sucked from beginning to end, except perhaps for Fargo making a connection with another human being for the second week in a row, and the service done to the alien overarching plotline.
The science--oh, the idea that they had to ride in the elevator until someone hit the correct button made my eye roll muscles hurt. That whole thing was a pile of steaming stink. And the sister's hidden pregnancy subplot was a bunch of stupid too.

Thanks so much. I couldn't remember why people were able to come and visit Carter and Zoe.
I just realized that Daisy from Spaced is Joan Redfern from Doctor Who's "Human Nature" & "Family of Blood".
She was also nominated for a Tony this year--I was started to see her appear during the ceremony!

Isn't she lovely?
I'm just watching Primeval and they're trying to conjure up an air of jeopardy and all I can think is "so, what? You're going to kill Ianto or something?" They so do not possess the plotting chops nor the character investment.
