Mal ,'Serenity'
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.
There are times when Tennant's performance is way over the top, but hang in there at least until School Reunion. The episode itself is worth watching for any Doctor Who fan. It's certainly one of the best of the season, and IMO one of the highlights of the entire show.
ETA: Please tell me I'm not the only one who has trouble remembering to type "School Reunion" instead of "School Hard".
Oh, you know they're going to marathon it at some point.
I have to admit that I watched both "New Earth" and "Tooth and Claw" on you tube.
I don't know if they are still there.
IJS.
Loved the new Doctor Who episodes, and am warming up to Ten as the Doctor. The way he handled "Harriet Jones, Prime Minister" ("Yes, I know who you are"--hee!) with those six words has me on the verge of loving him as much as CE.
Speaking of Harriet, what was the line she had about her memoirs? Something like "They passed an Act of Parliament banning my autobiography," right? I was thinking about making it my new tagline, but can't doublecheck the exact wording due to my loaning my tape of the ep out to a co-worker today.
I miss Nine.
Me too.
But I'm just glad to have the Doctor back on my picture box.
Kathy, I believe the line is, "There's an act of parliament banning my autobiography."
Ta ever so, WindSparrow!
I loved the second ep as well, especially all the Cassandra bits. Loved that we were finally able to see Zoe Wanamaker in all her glory as Cassandra in real life--I first saw as Moira Henson on the first Prime Suspect movie, and have appreciated her acting ever since. The other actors that got to be Cassandra all obviously had a blast doing their best ZW imitations, too!
Oh yeah. I thought that everyone impersonating Cassandra did an amazing job.
The impersonations passed my personal acting test in that I really did believe the change in persona as "she" jumped from character to character.
So I'm enjoying the most recent Eureka podcast, and Colin, if you're reading..... your voice is not annoying. I also liked the use of the words "clusterfuck" and "kerfuffle". Next perhaps you'll find use for the word "foamy"...
I wasn't too impressed by Tennant's Cassandra, actually. But Billy Piper astounded me with how very not Rose Tyler she was being.
