shapeshifter

Didn't Mayor Nicki smoke a hookah or something that transformed her body into human? Edited to correct "Mayon" to "Mayor" because I was sleep typing after staying up late to download threads and witness Tubey's execution (hoping in vain for at least a temporary stay of execution)

:~(It looked bad to me. I thought Vic was going to be another body in the morgue.

My thoughts exactly. I even wondered if they were showing her fake videos of the scope instead of live. But then I recalled last episodes when Cosima discovered the tumors began in her uterus and decided this was a genuine procedure. Of course, it could turn out there was something else going on too. At Amazon, of course: http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-External-Floppy-Drive-FL-UDRV/dp/B00E9MD700/The harder part would be getting the right software to read the data. On another show this would have had me scoffing at the writing, but here, even though I felt the same outrage as you, Boogaloo, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt to have this make sense. Upthread are some decent excuses to tide us over for now.

I stopped watching a couple of years ago, so just saw this for the first time. I believe I stopped after the first Yang go-round; it was too grim. But I really liked the musical, including Yang, but especially the dancing. The tango with Lassie! :D There were some Twin Peaks theme song strains near the end, weren't there?

Or, @patchwork, the IUD failed to prevent pregnancy and she didn't want to abort?

I suppose, @AlliMo. I don't recall, does Sarah know the full extent of how much she and Kira are in DYAD's crosshairs at this time?

That, boys and girls, is why you should never run out of minutes. It may be fatal!Good thing I just got a new battery for mine! Or, she will realize that he could've been killed in a grizzly manner instead of just boinked by her doppelgänger.

Me too. And before that, I assumed he was the mother's young lover.

When Paul made his entrance into the house, I thought he had a suitably, slightly-embarrassed little smile after his participation in Rachel's sex game. This is the first character Michelle Forbes has played that I actually might enjoy seeing. Of course, part of that is the show itself. I finally dropped The Killing. A fascinating and creative plot twist. When Rachel said, "...you might survive," to Leekie, I wonder what she thought would really get him. If only that taxi had stopped...but instead Donnie and Allison might bond. I'd love to know if the script actually read the way she delivered it: "So I'm supposed to be Allison being Donnie."I hope they scripted/directed Vic's head bonk on the wall and Michael Mando didn't get bonked for reals. He does have pretty eyes, but Sarah acts like she was never into him, and I can't figure out if she ever was, since it's clear she can do so much better. If I was Sarah and had a brother/best friend Felix and a baby Daddy Cal, I'd be happy to run away to Iceland. I didn't understand why she didn't leave Kira with Cal--does that mean she doesn't trust him? Wasn't the one tooth's worth of stem cells sufficient? And, if not, is poor Kira going to wind up wearing the gloves Allison knit for Vic??? BTW: Those gloves were so cute. I'm guessing with her broken arm, she didn't knit them; she just altered them for him.

If he continues to act like my sociopathic boss, I will have to mute him. Hey, that might be therapeutic.

I thought it was just: He's like me. He too has lost his family that is almost a mirror of my family. Maybe we should drink some wine together some time.Review: http://io9.com/whos-making-the-most-questionable-decisions-on-continuu-1584191204

Battlestar Galactica had at least one episode that addressed this. Your English is flawless as far as I can tell, and much better than many who only speak English. Your whole post shows much more thoughtfulness on the subject than anything we've yet seen on the show. Hopefully the writers will soon resolve this, perhaps with each of the teens having a 'fertility patch' that they can choose to peel off at any time, but doing so on the Ark could result in airlocking if you do it more than once. The reveal that Octavia and her mother were punished for the violation of the one child policy implies that they did not have a forced sterilization policy, which makes sense if they were hoping to one day go back to the earth's surface and procreate. Also, if a disease wiped out most of the Ark dwellers, they'd want to have the procreation option. Someone on the Continuum board said there was a brief mention on that show that 60 years in the future women only carried a baby for 9 weeks of the pregnancy. In contrast, likely anything on this show is going to be pretty primitive.

I was so confused. They must all have the same barber or something, and definitely come from a similar gene pool, because they look so much alike. Which ones do you mean? According to the IMDb page for the episode (imdb.com/title/tt3528452/?ref_=tt_ep_pr), we have:Ryan Robbins playing the as yet man without a name, and: Curtis Caravaggio playing Neelon, who, despite his futuristic sounding name, according to the Continuum wikia page for Grey Point Security, is a 2014 mercenary--at least as far as we know for now And then there's look-alike Mike Dopud, who played Kiera's prisoner in the hippie community that got killed off (for now), and Kiera's husband, who looks quite a bit like the others too, only a little younger. And, finally (for now) there's the kid listed in the IMDb episode page as parkour, Alex Kyshkovych, who does have the future tech of invisibility cloth, and looks like he could be Kiera's son, slightly grown up.

And Mother's Day. The actor who plays Angie's son is listed as being in episode 12 this season. Hopefully he's just popping in to say goodbye before he moves to China to work as an English tutor, or maybe to travel around Europe.

So under the dome, they've stumbled upon a new way to break a person's neck by hanging.

Is the title of the episode a reference to anything specific?

@pwin, I ♥ all of your post. Finally someone has put into words what I've been muttering about on various boards while not seeing much response or consensus. Regarding this part: It's almost like there's two Carlos, right? I adored season one Continuum. It was my new Fringe. I still look forward to new episodes, but the show has a bit of "sophomore slump." In contrast, Orphan Black, which I didn't discover until the end of its first season, is still firing on all cylinders in its second season. Back to this episode: I thought I saw a glimmer of a possibility that, as you said: and that things will coalesce. @dr pepper, I too wonder if they left the wrong Alec behind. Maybe they will swap them out? Maybe they will bring back the other Alec and they will team up to fight the sharks, that is, Kellogg. I was hoping for a moment that Kellogg was manipulating Alec for the greater good--but then we saw his smug grim when no one was looking. New guy is definitely someone who can relate to Kiera's situation and loss. But why does he know her name? I'm assuming Alec took dead Kiera's chip so he could invent it sooner, but isn't this like the ultimate time travel paradox? Or would the ultimate paradox be retroengineering the time travel device in the past, sort of reminiscent of H.G. Wells' Time Machine?

Yes, lots of chatter: http://www.google.com/search?q=stargate%20reboot#q=stargate&tbm=nws&tbs=qdr:m,sbd:1 So it's a trilogy of movies, not a small screen affair. If the recast Jack, Daniel, and other recurring characters as well as was done for the series after the original movie, I will be happy.

Seemingly, yes, Albuquerque: kob.com/article/stories/s3454138.shtml#.U4fV5ue9KSM

This came up on the last episode thread because of a crawling message in our area about the show's schedule, but in case anyone is watching in the Land of the Blackhawks (Chicago area): There will be a "special" episode airing on June 7. I'm not sure, but I think next week's episode will still air on the 4th, but then the finale will air earlier here, on the 7th, instead of on the 11th, as it is scheduled elsewhere (looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_100_episodes), which seems a little odd. So maybe they're not really showing "We Are Grounders: Part 1" until the 7th??? Anyone have anything more definitive? I guess it doesn't really matter since the CW is very nice about putting episodes up online soon after they air. ETA: Not airing tonight in Chicago because Mets v Cubs. Airing Saturday at 8 CDT.

Me too, but they missed numerous opportunities to inject a little humor when the Arkteens first attempted to employ knowledge that they had heretofore only done virtually, if that. The grim lack of comic relief may be what makes me quit this show. They need a mini SG1 O'Neill to snark around the encampment. The many years I've worked for a sociopathic boss is my excuse for kind of liking the way Clarke shushed the Grounder while he was dying.

LOL. While I do think the Canadian gene pool for actors is pretty white, especially for those of large, imposing stature, it's possible that the choice to use big white dudes might have been partially due to an effort to be politically correct in that they didn't want the evil doers to be all non-white. Apophis was a person of color--but that might have just been owing to the original casting in the movie; the show did an excellent job of casting the main players to look like the originals. It's interesting that a large number of the Jaffa were persons of color. Back to the episode: Even though the viewers are made to feel the WTFery of these supposedly advanced beings (Tollan and Nox) even considering that Ska'raa might not be entitled to his body, I think the show was pretty unique in presenting a universally unacceptable opinion in a balanced way--kind of like Star Trek's interracial kiss was unique at the time. But, then they kind of backed away from the idea of the Goa'uld's opinions of humans being worthy of consideration when they got around to the episode title's point: That the Goa'ulds cool rationality was a "pretense" for their planned attack.

@stillshimpy, I've never seen Poltergeist, but that actually sounds a lot like a rewatch of SG1. ;-)

Which reminds me: I'm no rocket scientist (metaphorically maybe, but not actually), but given that the Ark is in space (very cold), and given that they have energy issues, why was the vent Henry Ian Cusak was crawling through so hot that waves of heat were visible, other than that it was a cool (hot) special effect? You are correct. I did not recognize him, but usually I do.Editing to drag over Webbermon's post from TWoP:

If Louis Ferreira's beard gets any longer, I'll be worried he's going over to Duck Dynasty. More Vega, please. When H!TG Martin Donovan/Miles Balfour put the tracker on his wife's car, you could clearly see Beautiful Brit[ish Columbia] on the license plate. So for once the victim sort of deserved to die.
