Wow, intersesting. Did the show you watch mention the gay young man in an episode of the "Batman" animated series?

They showed him turning into nothing and disappearing. Stark was there in a biohazard suit when it happened. I agree that the guy that runs the cafe is gay. Speaking of gay stuff. I was watching Current tv last week and they did a segment on subtle gay images in commercials. For example, there is a commercial running with Priceline where there are 4 guys on a golf course and the Priceline hovercraft lands on the golf course and the guy hands them a check (except for one guy). One guy had the gay flag on his golf bag and was wearing a polo shirt for gay rights group. They gave a few other examples that if you didn't know you wouldn't have noticed it. I thought it was fascinating how they were communicating this other language.

I mean, they make all this noise about her being pregnant, and last week she even stated she was home at a decent hour every day. So where the hell is her son?? Fargo isn't gay: he has a girlfriend now. I'm pretty sure it's that crazy girl who morphed her body into a duplicate of Jo's. Fargo loves him some women: they just don't love him back. The guy who runs Cafe Diem (who was also a wizard in the horrible "Legend of Earthsea" miniseries) seems to be gay to me, the way he's portrayed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" < hellomahog...@gmail.com > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 12:47:50 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] "Eureka" Thoughts I think that they hinted that Fargo is gay a couple of episodes ago. I think that the sheriff and allison having a romance would have made interesting tv when they first started the show, but as time passed on it wasn't going anywhere and lost steam. I think that they killed off Stark's character because his character wasn't going anywhere. There are a few others that just disappeared as well such as the son, and the animal trainer guy. They killed off Stark back when they killed the son. He was first exposed to the alien object that was in sector 5. He left the show then came back. Then they killed him again with a time paradox. Allison's son was fully exposed to the alien object by accident. He was autistic / physics genius. The problem is that making him autistic didn't give him many plots to participate in.

I was tired of that angle too. I guess I just like Carter's character, and feel the character needs more development to stand on his own, outside of angles like the battles with Stark or the "he's the dumbest guy in the room" thing. * I don't care for Jo's boyfriend--too generic cool genius--but do like that she has a boyfriend. Nice to see some softer angles to her... * After all this time, the voice of the computer Sarah (named after Sarah Michelle Gellar) still cracks me up. Everyone relizes that that "female" voice is actually done by the actor who plays Fargo? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Johnson" < keithbjohn...@comcast.net > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, August 23, 2009 11:52:34 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] "Eureka" Thoughts Everyone watching the new season of "Eureka"? I must saying I'm enjoying it, even more than last season. I think that's because Carter is noticeably more instrumental in solving cases than last year. Every ep so far, as the big brains discuss string theory, M-branes, and quantum mechanics, Carter's always the one guy in the room who cuts through the superficial coverings to get to the heart of a problem. Indeed, one wonders how the scientists can do anything: as smart as they are, they seem to exemplify what my mom used to say about "Book sense, but no common sense". Fortunately they have also toned down the Carter-is-kinda-dumb thing too. Tracey mentioned that last year that had gotten out of hand. There are still some moments like that, but I frankly don't think they're needed. Carter's obviously not a supergenius, so let's lose the "Uh...English please? I'm clueless" schtick. A couple of weeks ago, for example, Allison spoke of the space object coming to Earth in 126 hours, and Carter looks confused. Allison then had to amend and say "five days"! Give me a break: you telling me Carter, an intelligent and highly competent man of the law, can't figure that out? Again, good thing that angle is being minimized. Some other thoughts on the show: * I like the new lady brought in, who runs Section 5 (?) At first she irritated the hell out of me by belittling Carter's intelligence, but I like the tender side and sense and humour she has. * Good to see that Carter is falling for the new scientist. For some reason I never really liked his love for Allison, and it's less appealing to me this season for some reason. I say let that angle die, and let him move on. * Anyone know why the guy who played allison's ex- and new-husband left the show? I thought he was coming back, but here he's on "True Blood" now. * When is Henry going to get a life and a love? I hate what they did by killing off his love, and this recent--spoiler!--storyline of bringing back a computerized copy of her, then killing it off? WTF?! And speaking of that, Henry is mayor now, but doesn't seem to do any mayoral stuff. He basically still sports the mechanics' garb, when he's not at GD running experiments. Does he even have an office at city hall? * Carter is sheriff, charged with keeping all law and protecting everyone in the town, including those at Global Dynamics. Yet he doesn't have a high security clearance. Allison refused to discuss the oncoming spaceship with him because of that, and that top secret section that's been reopened is off limits to him without an escort. Okay, I guess I'm confused: if he's "only" the sheriff, maybe he wouldn't have top secret clearance to everything at GD. But, more times than I can count, Carter risks his life by entering some high dangerous lab to fight a creature of living ooze, gravity wells, etc. In fact, Carter's the *only* person who consistently tackles these dangers, which usually means he's finally brought in to these top secret discussions. Is it logical, therefore, for his clearance to be relatively low? -- Bringing diversity to perversity for 9 years!
