'Serenity'
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 don't know. Maybe it's something about how you can see the normal boy he could have been, the one who wanted to be a fireman when the floods rolled back. That loving little boy, with blood on his face and a knife in his hand, telling hell where to go fuck itself.

Yeah.
Heh. And to think, I had the Winchesters practically all to myself last season. It pleases me mightily for others to discover the flaily.
I'm so glad!

Doctor Who fandom reminds me of the current Battlestar fandom, in that there's a big split between former fans and new fans, and the dynamics pretty much echo between each.
The olders often HATE episodes written by Russell T. Davis (oft refered to as 'Rusty' in those circles). They seem to think he is the devil, set to destroy Doctor Who. Newbies tend not to care for former Who, and are usually less vitrol towards Russell. Although they mostly hate his boy!kissing agenda.
Torchwood I find varies in quality episode to episode quite substiantally, but they need to have a serious cull of the writing staff. The next episode is written by the actor who played Micky in Doctor Who..

actually, that was this past week's episode.
Well, I really didn't watch Who prior to Christopher Eccleston - - where does that leave me? I liked the first part of season 2 and then felt it got weak in the m iddle and the end was okay.

Oh, that shows how much I pay attention. I've got a friend who produces the show, so I should feel the shame right now.
sumi - you define yourself ;o)
Doctor Who, I think, works well most of the time as long as people remember it is a family targeted show with poor production values. Personally, I think the best episodes tend to be when they stay on earth, stay away from the wobbily sets and go for high emotional and/or core character drama. The most expensive eps of Who -- the 'off world' stand alones -- are always the lowest rated ones, which I think is something which collides with the old Who fans.
I'm an old-school Who fan who quite liked the first new season and was well on my way to enjoying the one just past until a tsunami of cutesy smugness and twitchy overacting swamped the show around the fifth episode.
