David T. Cole December 20, 2013 Author Share December 20, 2013 Honored guest Jeff Drake helps the regular EHG gang bid farewell to 2013 with a discussion of two melodramatic third-season shows, Homeland and Scandal. We shared a listener's Tiny Triumph; breathed fire at Jeff's case for a Game Of Thrones Canon submission; and declared a winner and loser, before kicking off a brand-new season of Game Time with a super-fun crossover quiz.

EricJ December 22, 2013 Share December 22, 2013 <Pushes glasses up on nose>That might have been the case on The Original Series, but in Next Generation they had replicators which work like a transporter; the atoms of the base material are rearranged precisely to create an exact replica of the original, so presumably the standard patterns for food are expertly done versions of whatever the dish may be, and if it 's made of recycled waste, it was broken down into it's component atoms before reassembly and retains no characteristics thereof.

Kids: Lisa Simpson. She would be a total Daddy's girl with Dr. Quest, helping him out in the lab and whatnot. Wakko from Animaniacs. He'd keep things lively, and could get Lisa to relax when she's too uptight, without Bart's more jerk-ish tendencies. Lilo of Lilo & Stitch (they had a TV series adapted from the movie.) She'd be the baby of the family, getting into scrapes, which would allow Lisa to be the competent big sister.

Sheena February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 Loved the "meeting" at the beginning of the episode- it reminded me of the "press conference" about hurt feelings over a TV forcening from a while ago (also, thank you for the rule- I thought it was just me who noticed). :D I enjoyed the House of Cards discussion a lot; I agree with Sarah that there isn't much tension in knowing that he will win every time, but I actually find a lot of tension (and enjoyment) in watching how he'll win and at what cost (to him, Claire and to unfortunate others). I hadn't really been phased by the Meechum scene in the eleventh (I think it was) episode until Sarah mentioned that there were cameras all over the house (I had totally forgotten, for some reason), and now I'm having trouble fan-wanking the fact that someone must have seen it... maybe it's live-only un-recorded and... no one was paying attention...?

Sheena February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 I am so glad I listened to this at home instead of work so that no one heard me yell "YES!" after Dave said "Mackenzie-Chown" and about three times after the reference to North of 60. I literally remember an episode in which someone's foot froze. Like, solid. I want to say that Teevee did something stupid (because he seemed to do that a lot) and got stuck out in a blizzard with someone else and it was the other dude's foot that froze...? Regardless, it was effing cold out and I felt cold watching it. I really liked that show, but frozen foot = too cold. I'd toss in Game of Thrones, which I don't watch normally but did watch the first season of, when it came out; it wasn't really the outdoors bits that made me feel cold, it was the inside bits, whenever they were at Winterfell. Being inside the castle almost looked like it was colder than being outside. Not sure if it really qualifies, but there's an episode of MST3K where they mock a movie called The Final Sacrifice (it's hilarious) which always makes me feel cold... pretty sure it's YouTube-able, if you haven't seen it, but it doesn't take long to see why. It's not always snowy, but the grass and trees look like the frost long ago carted off any warmth... Non-TV side note, I was only at Brock for a year, but I remember the Mack-Chow complex more than any other- and not just because it had a weird name (not that one could judge, with the Earp and newly-built Lowenberger residences nearby), but because I was a) always getting lost in it, b) always feeling too hot or cold in it (there were a few times where it became so warm and dry in the winter that it was a 'Wear moisturizer or learn to live with burning dry skin' situation- the rest of the time, it was a freezer), and c) had that one courtyard that I could never find unless I was already lost (Brock's own Davy Jones' Locker).
