Weekend Discussion Thread: Your Sci-Fi Channel “They’re Gonna Be Okay” Moment

This weekend’s thread again plays off the Episode Guide discussion.

As I said in my comments on Thursday, I was watching episode 801, and in the movie there is a stock footage shot of an alligator jumping up out of the water and snagging a swamp bird sitting on a log. Crow responds by singing: “Egrets, I’ve had a few…”

Something clicked in me. Despite the loss of Trace, which was clearly a gut-punch to the show, I KNEW they were gonna be okay.

So, what was the moment (hopefully SOMEtime in Season 8) when you knew they were gonna be okay? I know some of you had a hard time with the long string of b&w Universal monster movies they started the season with, and really didn’t come around until almost mid-season with “Giant Spider Invasion.” Or maybe you didn’t come around at all. I know some folks felt that way.

So let’s hear it. What was your moment?

Bill on a Podcast

The “fifty-twoth” episode of the Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average) [although this one is much longer] podcast features an interview with Bill. Bill breaks some news about a short they will be riffing at the RiffTrax Live show among other topics.

Update: I did not make these. I wish I had, though.
