Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
You what's a good day? A good day is going to see
Batman Begins,
which has the
Serenity
trailer attached, and then coming home to watch the
Dr. Who
finale.
A better day for me would have been
Christopher Eccelston doing the show for another series,
but I'll be OK. I'm sure I'll
like the new guy, too. I just fell in love with CE is all
.
The finale:
loved all three kisses. Loved Rose being so damn fierce about getting back... and saving the world, also good
.
I hope they bring Jack back; he makes me smile
.
In closing, I remain in love.

Oooh. Maybe. Wait. No. I really did think that might solve it, but no. 2010 and 1969 are the same method, and 2010 is Open Loop, whereas 1969 is Closed.
Re: Captain Jack - I found the following on Wikipedia, but I don't know how accurate it is:
John Barrowman will be returning as Jack Harkness in series two, but not in the first block of episodes.
Edit: apparently that news was announced by RTD at a BBC press conference, so it looks to be fairly reliable after all.
Hi! Somehow I'd missed that folks were doing DW discussion in here, as I've been doing all mine on lj. All I'll say for now is that I love
Jack, and am deeply confused by the concept that emotions reside in the DNA. But I'm trying to ignore the non-science at the moment; there's plenty of time between now and Christmas to puzzle over that.

There's something very weird going on there. A difference between going backwards and going forwards? It seems unlikely, but it's possible that at some point in the future they would (even unknowingly) close the loop on 2010.
Would you like to expand on the Trek examples, too? My knowledge of that canon is much patchier, but I'd be interested to hear the theory anyway.
I always enjoy pointing out
Bill and Ted's Excelletn Adventure
when discussing time travel, because in their movie, they need to get out of a jam and they're like, Okay, later, I have to remember to go back in time and put McGuffin behind the potted plant! And they look behind the potted plant, and the McGuffin is there for them.
It's a good thing they remembered all the McGuffin-placement they had on their hands.
Then again, in the same movie, we're to understand that Abe Lincoln, Napoleon, and sundry other historical figures had themselves a modern mall experience, complete with synth pianos and ice skating, and did not subsequently mention it in their memoirs. Dude! What if Bill or Ted mentioned to Lincoln that he would be assassinated? Spoilers for your own life!
All the Doctor Who discussion is really making me want to see the show. But, alas, my computer can't stand downloads and I live in the states. If anyone is willing to mail me copies of the episodes, please e-mail me.
What Melpomene said.
sigh.
So, this Dr. Who thing? Pretty good. I'm impressed.
sigh.
And you an Englishwoman. It's a damned shame, is what it is.
Well, she is all the way down there in Egypt!
She is far too busy ballooning over the pyramids or sailing down the Nile to track down tv stuff on the internets.
