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.

Re: Torchwood,
I want to like Gwen more than I'm actually liking Gwen. I am un-wild about Gwen/Owen, because Rhys is made of awesome and there wasn't enough lead-up. I want to see Tosh escape from more cells. Ianto in jeans for the win!
And I can't help but think that Jack could use some competent American muscle on that team, of the Dean "you people suck at this job" Winchester variety. He
earns
his emo,
and
he'd say thank you
if rescued by a good-looking man with a shotgun.
Er. But I might be biased in favor of the Dean.
Other Supernatural watchers--please chime in.
Is the existence of Hell too much of an expansion of their universe for you to deal with hearing about it in such a casual and undetailed way?
I agree with Dana on Torchwood, it
felt a bit like something Neil Marshall would have done, although with more plotholes and a more rushed development. No aliens was a good thing, they're not perfect at this and would get involved with things that they just assume is their business. I just wished they would have save the strange village story and done a "Shadow over Innsmouth" episode -- but that might just be me.
Jack saving the day, not a problem. John Barrowman could do a special brushing his teeth-episode and I wouldn't complain. That his sidekicks still are a heap of useless human waste is another matter, it's growing old fast and it's beginning to irk me a bit too much.
But the
Gwen/Owen subplot was pretty bad because all they've done before was show how they bickered. And that's not really enough yet to go into full snogging mode with them. Sure, I can see why based on how well the actors manage to get the characters to interact but not yet storywise. (Thankfully they avoided Gwen/Jack.)
Damn, ita. Nobody else has an opinion, just us two.

No, because it follows the way the season's been when it comes to reveals, so revealing it that way seems like the whole point. (See also: the expansion of the universe with the introduction of the Roadhouse.) Sam and Dean are learning that, yeah, they know a little about a lot, but it's a lot more little than they thought it was, and the dangerous cuts both ways.
Then the only remaining option is a cage match. Or a squash court match.
Two opinions enter! One opinion leaves! Welcome to Buffistadome.
eta: Aw, dammit. Plei had to go be all thinky meat and ruin my line.

I had one!
It just took me a bit to actually type it.
Hey, I posted.
It didn't bother me.
They've dressed up as priests, they've done exorcisms, it seems to point to a certain type of belief.
Partly, of course, I'm just irritated with any writer who would put a major reveal into the context where it may or may not be a lie. That's X-Files level of unnecessary obfuscation, and that way lies bitterness.
It didn't bother me either. Nutty is just nutty.
