Eureka: Final Season (Discussion, spoilers, etc.)

Siddig El Fadil was secretly replaced with a gene engineered clone but they didn't have rights to the name, hence Alexander Siddig.
 
Golly.

That must have been a little too close to home when the writers room stole from his real life to play out that founder infiltration arc on Bashir's character.

it's a funny thing about Asians, rather than listen to us roundeyes mutilate their names, or probably in Ming-na's case, say her name in the wrong bloody order, they humour the rest of the world by taking it easy and substituting names we can pronounce like "John", 'Eric", "Sally" and "Sarah".

The kid who played Bashir changed his name in the opening credits half way through his run on DS9 just to avoid the endless masses of fat fucks at conventions who tried and failed to pronounce close to his name with even a huge margin of error, or the sensitive pricks who first asked for the correct pronounciation instead of saying "Hello, here's 30 dollars for your signiture I plan to sell on ebay."

Yeah, too bad everybody's not as sensitive as you.

Because that's her name.

Si. My wife used to work for a Japanese company, and they all adopted American first names to make doing business a tad easier. And I say "first names" meaning "given names", because in Japanese the family name is said first, but they switch that around for our sake too.

They called her "Mary-san" :lol:

There is never going to be a President Ashton.

Oh thank god!
 
Obviously no new episode this week due to the holiday.

Next Monday's episode is Ex Machina. Is Holly really in the machine?

Stay tuned!
 
"Ex Machina" literally means "from the machine." Maybe that means she's getting out. :mallory:
 
Originally the machine was literally a crane that the grips would use to lower the actors playing gods onto the stage.

Stark is coming back?
 
Be strange if Beverly gave Holly Wen's body, leaving Wen in the matrix. I know, totally separate matrices, so no connection, but it'd be ironic. The woman who killed Holly loses hwe own body to Holly.
 
I just want them to mention the age difference.

16 years.

that's going to create some incredible humour.

fargo assuring her that she's more beautiful than she is old old, Holly enraged that he's always wanted to sleep with the woman who killed her, Fargo back peddling, insisting that it's her inner beauty that's drywalling completely over Wen's inner evil that he was never into...

But into what?

Clone?

Android?

Hologram?

Comatose unknown twin?

A clone is possible. The Eureka people could probably do that. Other possibilities include sharing head space with Fargo or maybe Beverly actually kept the real Holly on ice because she was so appalled by what the Senator did.

That occurred to me as well. That would be pretty freaky.
