Ah well, give us something to keep warm with, while we wait for series 3 of the new Who, it will.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Torchwood! Oh, that explains...never mind.
That site says that lungs fill with water, but I found other studies, based off of autopsies that said they didn't.
Irrelevant, anyway. Whyever they sink, they sink. Now, can the immortal gain...ground by swimming upwards? How long are they alive? Fuck, if they have water in their lungs, don't they drown again right away? How could they even walk out? Even if their recuperation drives the water out (like the bullets may be expelled) there's nowhere to get oxygen from.

Well, I had the idea from that ep. in which Duncan washed up on the shore of a Japanese island, that he had drowned in a shipwreck, stayed dead while under the water, then revived after he got to shore. Which, of course, flies in the face of cousin Connor being fully conscious, and not drowning in the first place while wandering about on the bottom of the lock.

Yep, need a bit of cross-media backstory to understand that one. Everyone knows it's an anagram, right?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
But the real issue is -- if a drowned corpse sinks, it'll sink to the bottom of a 20-foot lake. But will it sink to the bottom of the Marianas Trench? The density at the bottom of a deep-sea trench is so high that it would do all sorts of other things, like the nitrogen effect that causes the bends. Theoretically, at least, you could end up with a corpse that is under water, but "floating" because it isn't dense enough to go any lower.
So the dude, after waking up, wouldn't even be able to walk his way home -- he'd have to swim.
This is why it is bad to think too hard about sci-fi, isn't it?
