Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
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.
I will have a major problem with the character who
Dana, that was my biggest problem too. And it would have made a lot of sense, in the second ep, for someone
to draw a parallel between the alien sex smog and the cologne and make the point that they are both essentially rape drugs; it seems that would have been the best way to address the issue right away.
Because you're right, his behavior is
gross and awful and Very Bad, and I don't want to believe that we're supposed to think it was OK.
Also agreed that the atmosphere was much more subdued than I was expecting. The pacing also seemed weird to me in places, a little clunky. But I'm happy to chalk that up to new-show syndrome and hope they find their stride soon.
I think Torchwood is more likely to be on BBCA than SciFi, but I can't remember why I think that.
well...there was actual cussing in this show. they'd have to do some cutting and some bleeping/creative voiceovering if it was to be on SciFi.
I will have a major problem with the character who....
I agree totally, Dana, but that was all part of
showing the characters' flaws (a major flaw in this case, I know), and I'm fairly certain we're supposed to find Owen unsympathetic at this point. Also I think showing that stuff was to draw attention away from Suzie's extra-curricular activities, which were kinda worse. I do have some faith that it will be addressed in future, actually. We'll see

Kate - hah! The bit with
the ariel shots of Jack on the roof of the building made me laugh too - it just went on for bloody ever; plus, Angelerific (again); also later events explained how he dared to be up there in the first place
.
Is it just me, or is Xena-cylon hotter than Xena?
No, no, no. LL is totally hot no matter what, but the blonde, feathered 'do is not nearly as hot as the dark, one-length 'do. Xena all the way, baby!
I want to go home and watch ep 2 of Torchwood RIGHT NOW!!!! two more hours. i can make it, right?
(it's so good to have Captain Jack Harkness back on my tv computer screen.
No, no, no. LL is totally hot no matter what, but the blonde, feathered 'do is not nearly as hot as the dark, one-length 'do. Xena all the way, baby!
I like the feathered 'do on her, because I think it's softer, but I do think darker hair was more becoming on her. Is Boomer the only female Cylon who isn't blonde?
Are we wfronting Torchwood? Either way,
wow. I quite enjoyed it, despite the problems I had with it. It set up some very interesting premises for the series. Also, could it be any more canonically gay? No one has to tell me twice that Russel Davies is a big honkin' fangirl at heart.
It certainly made me miss Wales, though, with all those accents.
We're definitely whitefonting Torchwood. It hasn't aired in a US market.
just finished the second ep of Torchwood.
dude!! did anyone else catch why that hand was so important to Jack? it's totally the Doctor's hand that was chopped off in The Christmas Invasion!!!
I lovelovelove all of the characters except Owen. he can die anytime now.
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
I like the feathered 'do on her,
It must be the old Farrah Fawcett thing kicking in for me. I liked Rachel Nichols when she did that too. And Amy Acker. And SMG. And Julie Benz.
Torchwood. WOO HOO!!! Sorry you felt the need to drag your cursor over this.
You know, I liked that little "rough language" warning at the start and the rough language that followed. Not to mention the world didn't come to an end as a result of that language having been broadcast. Here, those shits would've generated multiple FCC fines.
