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.

Casanova was what convinced my of David Tennant's acting chops. In the last (of three) episodes, he manages to convey ageing without makeup - just in his body language alone. Of course, he also grows up into Peter O'Toole, which can only be a good thing.

The mini-series of Casanova was also written by Russell T. Davies, just to make it even more of a Who-taster. The first two parts are a real blast, the third is much more downbeat, but it's certainly worth a look.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Jude, the Obscure--OMG, was that him?

Not like I'd ever watch it again, or anything, but yeah, wow. Range. And stuff.

If I only had a brain...

Note that PBS will be running Casanova this year on Masterpiece Theatre.

You got much the same thing from Second Coming. Starred Eccleston, written by Davies ... Doctor IX had shades of Jesus II

eta: swapped the characters around, since SC came before DW.

etaa: If you haven't seen Second Coming, then it's really superb. Perfect material to freak the fuck out of a fundie xian! :)

If like me you love Christopher Eccelston, try and get a hold of the best British drama series ever made "Our Friends in the North". He's superb in it and Daniel Craig stars in it too. Doctor Who and James Bond in the same show? Can't be beat.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Shallow Grave is a rollicking good time! It doesn't make me want to slit my wrists even a little bit.

Nope, it's a lot of fun, in a "let's toss a few scorpions in a bucket and see what happens" kind of way, and quite a different side of CE, to say the least. Also possibly the most obnoxious character Ewan's ever played.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I had no idea who CE was when I first watched Shallow Grave, and now I must go back and rewatch and squee!
