'Never Leave Me'
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.
Oddly, the smartest TV panel I attended was the Jericho screening. Without a fanbase or anything to nitpick, all of the questions were relatively cogent versions of "Will this show be smart enough for me?" (And mostly related to Lost's disappointing S2.)
What'd you think?
This was the second time I'd seen the pilot, and my feelings haven't really changed -- it's VERY well-made, and could turn into something great, but the characters didn't grab me.
The answers from the writers/creators were promising, though. (And both of the girls in the cast were outgeeking the guys by MILES, which was really fun. Enough to make me want to watch just for that.)
"That looks exactly like photos I've seen of Jessica. But she lives in New York, what are the odds she flew out here?"
Aw, man! I wasn't really expecting to bump into anyone -- in a crowd od 100,000+, what are the odds? -- but it would have been great to meet you! (Clearly, running into CaBil twice used up all of my random-connection-ma. Hi CaBil!)
slodwick organized a little thing where people sent postcards to Hewlett with the question, "David Hewlett, how are you so awesome?" Apparently it's a Martin Gero quote from some season 1 commentary.
Aaah. Thanks for explaining.
Someone displayed his giant Stargate tattoo with something-or-other in the middle. It was very ornate.
Is it too much to hope that one of the ghosts in the footage might be Samara or Sadako and hop out of the screen to get Hewitt when she's watching dailies?
There is a BBC newsrelease that features Torchwood. People over at the TWOP Torchwood thread are commenting negatively on the fact that it's going to be on BBC3. So, is BBC3 like being on the UPN or something?
You need to have digital tv to get it, though it is free.
I think I'd compare BBC3 more to a premium cable network in the US. It commissions interesting, quality comedy and drama (e.g. Little Britain, Life on Mars, now Torchwood). It is, however, only available as a digital channel and you need cable or satellite to see it. I assume those who are complaining want access to a larger audience - if it's successful it will get a repeat slot on BBC1 (like Life on Mars) and will pick up more viewers that way.
If I'd known you'd be hanging out with him, Jess, I'd have sent a happy birthday hug or something for him--Saturday was his birthday, and he spent it working.
Eureka is being shown on USA, too, apparently.
