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.

Ratings & Scheduling: The 100... People Watching
shapeshifter replied to Stinger97's topic in The 100 [V]
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.

SG:1 The Great Rewatch Planning Committee
shapeshifter replied to theredhead77's topic in Stargate SG-1 [V]
@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.

While watching via broadcast in the Chicago area, a blue band crawled across the bottom. I only caught a bit of the text, but I think it said something about a special broadcast of the show June 7, a Saturday. Anyone else anywhere see that? The penultimate episode is next Wednesday, the 4th. About this episode: So with Clarke escaping, I guess they'll use Finn to get their "doctor" back rather than kill him.
-
It might not have been named that, but that's probably true--and with Octavia hiding out, she probably spent even more time "immersed" than the average Ark kid. And their sex ed classes probably included a lot of pre-recorded stuff too. So, thanks dr pepper, problem solved,

S07.E24: The Status Quo Combustion
shapeshifter replied to photo fox's topic in The Big Bang Theory [V]
Thanks, that makes sense now (as an option). -
Nah, I'm pretty sure it will be magically clean next time we see it, just like Clarke's, Finn's, and Octavia's hair.
-
Thanks, @stillshimpy, if they had handled it that way today, Twitter would likely blow up about it. It's no different than I haven't seen Pretense more than once all the way through, unlike, say, 1969.
-
Of course they do. This may be another show that needs a thread for addicts who want to quit but can't. So, they didn't kill off all of the name actors.

From Wikipedia: I happened to catch most of this episode Sunday night on a WGN affiliate. In the end, as we all predicted, Skaara wins and the Goa'uld Klorel is last seen being shipped off in an aquarium-type container. Wouldn't Lord Zipacna,* the the Goa'uld who represented Klorel at trial, also have had a human enslaved in his body? Wouldn't that person and all the original owners of the bodies inhabited by Goa'ulds have legal rights to their bodies after the precedent set in this trial? And, if Tolan law didn't work that way, shouldn't Daniel or someone have at least asked the question at some point? Does it ever come up in a later episode featuring the Tollan? *Gotta hand it to the writers for coming up with an endless array of unique names that still managed to sound like they were of the same linguistic root.

SG:1 The Great Rewatch Planning Committee
shapeshifter replied to theredhead77's topic in Stargate SG-1 [V]
I'm not up for a lot of organized rewatching, but I happened to catch part of a season 3 episode last night and was wondering if there will still be a Season 3 rewatch thread for June? Maybe folks should just start threads for episodes as they happen to see them and have a plot point or two to discuss? What's the team's consensus? If the threads are started with the episode format box checked and the season and episode numbers correctly entered, then it won't matter if, say, an episode 2 of a season is entered after an episode 4. -
Right before being de-Grimmed, they have Juliette not wanting to marry him because of the Grimm chaos. Then, when the reveal comes in the car, she turns around with a look that, to me, seemed to say: I'm sorry. Sort of like when I took the snow shovel out of my car trunk, and then it snowed in May, and I felt guilty--not my fault that it snowed, but it just felt that way. So I thought it looked like Juliette wished she at least hadn't said she wished he wasn't a Grimm right before he was de-Grimmed. Anyone else interpret it that way? If that's the correct interpretation, I could imagine a future situation in which Nick has an opportunity to get re-Grimmed, and a Grimm is needed to save lives, but he hesitates because he thinks it would ruin his chances with Juliette, but then Juliette tells him to do it. Or maybe he just does it anyway.

It's been so long since this show was on, that I wasn't sure I wanted to watch the new season, but watching the webisodes reminded me how awesome Grant Bowler is.

S02.E06: To Hound Nature in Her Wanderings

No, I wouldn't have made that connection, so thanks for pointing it out. I did notice that she offered Jesse her "White Russian," and thought it was kind of cute. -
Paul Dierden: Monitor Turned Boyfriend
shapeshifter replied to ElectricBoogaloo's topic in Orphan Black [V]
Thanks, @Carrie Ann, for reminding me/us. I couldn't recall any details. So I'm guessing the penalty for this could be at least life in prison, right? With the multiple dense plots going on already, it would be hard for them to address this one too, but I could see them resolving it with someone higher up than Paul being responsible, and somehow he was innocent--but that would be going into NCIS-type plotting, and right now we already have Prolethians, DYAD, the local police, Cal, and more to deal with and keep straight. This is my favorite show right now, so I hope they have a handle on how all of this is going to work out. And I hope Paul doesn't have to become a redshirt so they can quickly resolve the Afghanistan thing. I like Paul with and without shirts of any color. Well, they have been mentioning Afghanistan in recent episodes, so maybe this will get resolved soon.
