This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I just don't get what her power is . . . just really persuasive or is it some kind of mind control? And why didn't Isaac just give up Peter when BGM was trying to persuade him to go back on the smack? For all Isaac knows, those folks have been nothing but nice to him, helped him get clean, promised to help him learn how to tap into his powers without drugs. Why didn't he just say, "Hey, I know another way that we can do this. There's this guy. Very pretty, really annoying hair."
I cannot wait for next week.
Evil Pixie = The Pusher.
Isaac strikes me as talented, but kind of dumb. Also, Senor Contrivance dictates that Isaac not mention Peter until next week.
Maybe Isaac didn't mention Peter because he still doesn't entirely trust the mysterious benefactors, and he didn't want to put Peter in a dangerous sitch.
Maybe he's just brainfuzzled from coming off the smack.
Re: Torchwood 1.05
OMGWTF
FAIRIES

Seriously, there was something off about this ep.
I'm not loving anyone in it except for Jack.
And there were times when he didn't feel right. I loved that he did what he could to keep the vow he made with Estelle. I love that we are given glimpses into his backstory. And I love the idea that he has lived through a fair bit of time. Wouldn't it be great to know when and how he hitched a ride back in time from post Game Station Earth?
Marcie's power is the ability to convert radiation into nonsensical units of measure, and render it harmless.
What I would like to know (re: Torchwood) is whether
Captain Jack was already immortal when he met and made his promise to Estelle or whether he met the Doctor later? Because it's OK swearing to be with somebody until death do you part if you're not the one who's going to be doing the dying...
.
But I did like
the lovely affection between Jack and Estelle; it was clear that he still loved her despite her age, and she knew it was him
.
But what's up with
Soldier Jack throughout the ages? WW2, Lahore 1900s? Was this before or after the Doctor? Because he was a conman from the future who just happened to end up in 1941 originally, wasn't he
?
I liked the story, liked the
Scary Little Girl (TM). Though the ending was a bit confusing, yes. But Shirtless! Captain Jack is always good
.
Why do I keep reading here when I have yet to watch the episodes. Crack it is.
And I love Mohinder, even if his story has been kinda slow up to this point. So. much. pretty.
Yes. This.
Fiona, about Torchwood:
I like the idea that Jack has a few more decades under his belt than however much time he spent cleaning up after the Daleks in PotW then jumping back in time to join Torchwood in early 21st century Cardiff. For his sake, and for the creep factor, I really hope it does not turn out that he has been kicking around looking for the Doctor for centuries.
As for his personal timeline - it feels to me as if the incident in Lahore came after he became immortal. He did not show any surprise that he was still alive after his men were killed.
In reading the Wikipedia entry on the show I came across this:
On October 2, 2006, Emerson Electric Company, an appliance market competitor of NBC's owner General Electric, filed suit in federal court against NBC. The suit was regarding a scene that appeared in "Genesis" (the pilot episode) which depicted Claire Bennet reaching into an active garbage disposal unit — apparently Emerson's In-Sink-Erator — to retrieve a ring, and severely injuring her hand in the process. Emerson suit claims the scene "casts the disposer in an unsavory light, irreparably tarnishing the product" by suggesting that serious injuries will result "in the event consumers were to accidentally insert their hand into one."
so, now they're claiming that it's NOT dangerous to stick your hand in the drain? Besides, we've already seen that she injures disproportionately to the amount of force exerted on the body (she got hit by the football and it broke her neck), so that makes sense that she would get mangled.
she injures disproportionately to the amount of force exerted on the body
You know, I didn't think about this until Vortex pointed it out. She falls off a two? three? story rig, and all she gets is a dislocated shoulder and a few ribs poking out. But she gets rammed by a football (though I thought she got sacked by a player?) and it breaks her neck?
