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 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.
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?
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.
Damn, ita. Nobody else has an opinion, just us two.
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.
I don't watch Supernatural so my opinion is worthless, but anyway: probably the writers of the show didn't think twice about including hell in their supernatural universe, and probably most viewers don't either. I think that for many people, assuming the existence of the supernatural automatically assumes that heaven/hell exists. It's just taken as a given.
question is, if the Slayer is the creation of the Watchers back in the day, how did they make her have prophetic dreams? Did they build in a connection to TPTB?
While I'd at first assumed a sequential Joan-of-Arc type thing with the Watchers later attaching themselves, the revelation of the Shadow Men summoning that demonic cloudy monster to make the First Slayer makes me think it was instead TPTB that took advantage of an existing situation, much as they did later with Angel.
