Early ,'Objects In Space'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
I'd be more impressed if they'd called ahead to Cold Station 12 and told them to junk the embryos.
Or at least addressed why they didn't.
That bothered me too. I mean, they were obviously contacted because they were on alert. I mean, there was a discussion that embryos weren't destroyed initially because of public outcry, but some explanation of recent politics on the matter would have been nice.
Still, better than last season which I gave up on around episode 4 or 5.
God, yes, much better than last year. Or maybe it's just taking up the space left by me chucking Andromeda.
No, it's better than that.
Really, the part that I was wondering about is why they have a chamber sized perfectly for a person to stand in that they can pump diseases into? Do the researchers randomly infect and cure each other for fun? Torture by genetically-engineered super-soldiers aside, what purpose would a thing like that actually serve?
You make a very good point.
I wonder about the Augments -- the only way they could be more proto-Nietzschean is if they'd quoted ... wait, no ... scratch that. I expect arm spikes by the end of the season.
Patron saint of sweet spouses?
Nope. Quality footware.
Maybe it was their decontamination chamber?
If so, and it's rigged to use biological warfare on the occupants, then the builders must share my opinion of how boringly exploitative the decontamination scenes are.
Admittedly I haven't seen a decon scene in a while, but when I did, they were my second favourite part of the show (Porthos takes #1).
My objections were chiefly to how ham-fistedly they threw T'Pol and Tripp together like bickering romantic leads who only needed to be trapped in an elevator to realize that they're soulmates. Not opposed to the show putting a lot of skin on display in general.
Maybe they'd win me over if they had Phlox seal Tripp in against his protests and showed Reed spritzing with one of those breath-freshener atomizers in the background.
but in a "Wow, it actually doesn't suck" way.
They switched out showrunners. There was a decent portion of last season where it didn't suck either.
