River ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Damn good, but just before bedtime ... not a good time to watch The Empty Child.
which is why I turned it off and watched a rerun of The Boondocks instead :) Just the one look at the creepy gas mask was enough for me. Ever since the Carver on Nip Tuck, masks have weirded me out.
Vortex, you don't have to wf aired stuff. (With like 3 levels of what people have seen, it's confusing enough anyway, IMO)
thanks, deb, wasn't sure, so I erred on the side of caution (not "aired" as I saw the other day) easy enough with a return and an "s"
Well, I found some nabbable pictures of DT in kilts but none of them are alone.
Note that Tennant's birth name is McDonald, and he's wearing the McDonald tartan.
It finally clicked for me the other night why the B plot of "The Empty Child" seemed so familiar and odd to me. The whole magical realism bit (with a Union Jack-clad Rose sailing across the Blitz hanging from a balloon, a smiling Captain Jack spotting her from afar and resolving to meet her at once, the rescue using a floaty beam of light against the London skyline, and their susequent dance apparently suspended in mid-air before a brightly lit Big Ben) was very reminiscent of the first half of Moulin Rouge only without the singing. No wonder I was feeling so much cognitive dissonance zooming back and forth between that and the creepy main storyline.
There are all kinds of spoilery things in the left hand column of the linked page...
MGM planning Stargate film, third series
SUNDAY - MAY 7, 2006
Stargate
by Darren Sumner
Stargate owner Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Television has big plans for its hit sci-fi franchise, according to executive vice president Charles Cohen. In a new article at Multichannel News, Cohen discusses Stargate SG-1's two-hundredth episode milestone and where the valuable franchise is headed.
Cohen "says MGM 'intends' to develop a theatrical movie 'derived from the series over the last 10 years' that would ideally 'dovetail' into a third Stargate television show," according to the report.
A third Stargate series? Man, they couldn't sustain quality on the second series for more than a year.
Maybe they're hoping to have a SciFi thursday or Tuesday as well as a Scifi Friday.
