Is Torchwood NEVER going to air in the US?
Host ,'Why We Fight'
Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
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 was trying to figure out which channel would show Torchwood and thinking about all the cuts and edits that would have to be made.
Will they sell the DVDs here without airing the show? If not, then I don't care so much who shows it or what cuts get made if I can get the original eps on DVD.
Sheesh. We're 'Mericans. We should be able to get any foreign show we want, darn it!!!
...incidentally, are you all aware that there's now another Doctor Who spinoff? The Sarah Jane Adventures, which is going to be a kids' TV show, apparently? I know something aired around New Year's Day - I'd assumed it was a one-off, but it sounds like it may be a show in its own right...
I'm rewatchng "Bloody Mary." That is one creepy episode. It reminded my a little of "The Grudge." I think one of the reasons I like Supernatural is because, like Angel, it's got that really dark atmosphere going for it. Not just that many scenes are played in the dark, but there's always an element of horror even in the sunlit scenes. That last shot of Jess's apparition gives me chills. The music doesn't hurt either. Plus, mirrors as psychoanalysis!
So it's "watch stuff from the Tivo" week, and I just watched Dragon Sword.
Ye gods. How much better would that movie have been if Val Kilmer and Patrick Swayze's roles were exchanged.
(Answer: not much.)
I had watched that for the James Purefoy (yum!) and just felt used and cheap.
just felt used and cheap
Yeah, I think that's about right. Two hours of my life I'll never get back. Swayze's accent wasn't even awesomely bad, it was just BAD.
and the fact that you barely see hide nor claw of dragon till the last thirty seconds, and it's just weak. I was thinking they were saving their budget so they could break out the badassery at the end, but I guess that go blown on the bloated Swayze and the chick from ugly coyote.
