No. Very often, if I didn't catch them the first time around, I waited up for the re-airing a couple of hours later. If I missed that, then I had to wait until the ep cycled back around.

Morton's one of those actors with a face and bearing you just trust and respect. He can play a likeable guy, a strong leader, a tortured and confused soul. I have followed him for years, whether it's been great turns in John Sayles flicks--and it's saying a lot that Morton is a fav of Sayles'--having the lead in the shortlived TV series Under One Roof, playing a memorable role as a former boxer turned transvestite on New York Undercover, or even his guest stint as Whitley's love interest on A Different World. Even his bit in Terminator 2 is memorable. The anguish he feels at what his work has caused for the future is palpable, and I hated to see the character die. It's a crime that Morton hasn't gotten the major roles and respect he deserves. He's done a lot of stuff, but never got to that A-list on TV or film. And while I'm really happy to see him get steady work on Eureka, and like the steadiness his character brings to that world, I keep hoping to see him get some meatier roles. That's especially true as long as the showrunners seem hesitant to give him a real life. Like I said, he's mayor now, but that angle's not explored, and I really dislike them killing off Kim--twice. And for those of you young 'un's who don't understand my praise of Morton, do yourself a favor and look up his great performances in the movie City of Hope (a John Sayles joint), the shortlived but well done TV series Tribeca (which co-starred Carl Lumbly and Lawrence Fishburne), and especially, the classic Sayles' film The Brother From Another Planet.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Eureka Thoughts
Tasheka, Welcome! I just noticed your name in the list today. Did you do one of those introduction e-mails that the group has newcomers fill out? I think you'll enjoy this group. Tracey started it years ago, and, along with streaming the Tom Joyner Morning Show every morning and having an iPod for when I work in the yard, it's one of the things that has helped me make it in life. It is so great to discuss scifi, fantasy, comics, animation, politics, etc., with people who don't shout or criticize, who aren't racist or juvenile, who actually want to *share* information. I am amazed you made it this long without a group of likeminded scifi fans to discuss things with. As a black man growing up in the '70s, being a scifi fan was sometimes hard. Stuff lke The Six Million Dollar man was universally loved, but sometimes the more specific scifi like Star Trek wasn't always appreciated by other blacks. But, between my brothers and close friends, I always had a circle of fellow fans. But this list is the first time I have so many people of color and whites in one place who have such a wide range of interests. There are vampire fanatics, zombie lovers, people who think B5 rules (i'm one!), some who think Transformers is a juvenile movie franchise, others who say get over yourself and just enjoy it. There are lovers of comics, inveterate readers of novels, TV junkies, folks who love podcasts, gamers, those of us who love going to the movies--you name it it's here. I really think you'll have fun. And, as one of the most prolific and long-winded participants in the group, I can guarantee you'll never find it lacking for new input! :) As for your dad, i'm sorry to hear that. My dad was old school, loved shoot 'em ups and Hee Haw and Three Stooges. I miss him every day, since his death back in '01. Lost my mother two years ago, and my wife lost her mother three years ago. So I can relate, and have leaned on this group to help get me through those hard times.

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

I'm for Tess as well.

But I agree that the Carterison thing was getting old. Besides, didn't the show have an alternate reality or something that started after Kim was killed and Henry tried to change history to where she doesn't die or something? In that time line (which was like 4 years?) Carter and Allison get married, have a baby, etc. So any real romance between them would have to top or be very different than that story.
