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.
the smug assumption that changing time and saving lives was good irritated me.
And that's why I like the introduction of Priestley's character. He makes the argument that he's the force for good, though the tenor of the show seems to imply that he's not. I'm kind of hoping for a big revelation that Tru is not as much on the side of the angels as she thinks. But it probably won't happen.
You just reminded me of this awful movie I saw with Jason when he played a terribly emotionless hitman. Sort of a shitty version of Grosse Pointe Blank.
r. He makes the argument that he's the force for good, though the tenor of the show seems to imply that he's not.
exactly. The way that they have him portray the character is very deliberate, I think. They want you not to like him. It would be so much more interesting if the Anti-Tru was a character that you could like and believe in as well.

Not in the next four episodes, it won't. Now I wish they'd made enough episodes for me to regret that there are no more episodes.

You're right. I'm trying pretty hard to like him, because I've always wanted Tru to have dire consequences for her heroics - like she could save strangers but at a cost to her personal life, or to her family, or somethinhg. But the show really hasn't gone that way.

well, except for that whole boyfriend getting killed at the end of last season thing.

eh, he was just overextended shmuck bait. They never really got the happy before the pain.
Was that a consequence of her saving someone else? I may have missed the last episode, I really don't remember what happened there.
I
saw
the last episode, and I can't remember what happened. All I know is her "boyfriend" died and somehow anti-Tru was involved or responsible.
And that's why I like the introduction of Priestley's character.
See, until Priestley appeared, she was just doing what she was asked to. The question didn't come up until he posed it, and like Vortex, I feel they've answered it too patly.
