'Time Bomb'
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.
Kalshane, that was my reaction exactly to the wonder drug on Smallville -- you can't come up with a way to handle a (minor) side effect? Like, for instance, giving the dying person a shot of the Wonder Drug and then a quick shot of Thorazine right after? How seriously stupid....
I also missed that Helo is now the XO. But then I haven't watched the past two episodes again yet, and I seem to have been paying a whole lot more attention to the Baltar plot. He's kind of like a cockroach, isn't he?
Helo was the XO on Galactica at the end of last season and hasn't lost his position.
Oh, that's right. Somehow I thought that Tigh became XO this season when he came back to Galactica, so I was thinking that Helo recently became XO and I missed it.
Oooh, right! Must go watch new Torchwood.
Torchwood was still downloading when I went to bed last night.
Watched Dr. Who last night. I liked seeing the "darker" of the Doctor, but they didn't do anything with it. I mean he goes on this whole tirade about nothing on this earth can stop me, but then doesn't end up doing anything spectacular. I mean, usually in that kind of situation, the person uses tactics or ideas that their partner/foil wouldn't approve of or condone, because they're so on the edge because their partner's been hurt. Here, he just did what he normally did. A bit disappointing, really.
Torchwood:
What Jack was saying was that if these fairies destroyed the world like they were threatening to, there would be no more humans, and therefore, no more Chosen Ones. Their only chance is apparently to placate the fairies by giving them a child every now and then.
Dana -- thank you! That makes much more sense than how I was interpreting that line.
I must wait until tonight to read the whitefont.
::checks clock again::
I spent my lunch break reading through the EW recap/reviews of the BSG episodes this season, and I loved this from last week's review:
But wouldn't it be so much more interesting if the Cylons were the ones who found Earth, as abandoned as Kobol, and founded the 13th colony? What if we were the children of Cylons? Chew on that for a while.
Very cool idea!
