Dawn ,'Sleeper'
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.
On board with the general Dr. Who squee-age! Yay, show!
One question: Have we seen or heard of Mr. Saxon (referenced in 3.1 on the radio and in a poster- "Vote Saxon" - behind Martha when she's outside the TARDIS) before?
Just trying to get a jump on this season's Bad Wolf and Torchwood
ION, I had a dream that CFerg was coming to town, and I tried to get tickets to an Indians game for him - but my mother talked me out of that. Instead I ended up going to a Special Olympics tee-ball game with her and my older brother, where she proceded to not leave room on the bleachers for me, then get mad that I went and sat on the other side of my brother to get away from her. And then I couldn't even see the game. Hmm, I wonder if this was really more about P-C than about me or CFerg.
Hee!
I really liked the DW premiere for reasons others have already stated in whitefont.
Nora - Mr. Saxon was mentioned by name in "The Runaway Bride," his name appeared in an article headline in the newspaper that the Absorbaloff was reading in "Love & Monsters," and Vote Saxon posters appeared in the Torchwood episode "Captain Jack Harkness."
Thanks, Invisible Green! I think I need to do some rewatching of stuff. Also need to see Torchwood.
Huh. Maybe the sluttiness is a residual effect of the post-Time War trauma.
I think maybe Captain Jack rubbed off on him a bit. Er, maybe I should rephrase that?
In TDF, I'm wondering if Bob died of the same mysterious and inexplicable cause that killed NatashaKate Beckinsale in Van Helsing. They didn't make it clear if it was the effort of resurrecting and killing Justin, the spell that brought him back dissipating once Justin was gone, or something that was going to happen regardless.
The Carnivàle-esque take-life-to-give-life thing certainly helps explain what was so awful about Bob finding a way to raise his beloved from the dead that he was imprisoned for all eternity. Didn't he say that he restored life to her more than once?
Dr. Who: So 10 to 1 odds that Saxon is an alien?
Er, maybe I should rephrase that?
Oh, please don't!
Jon, no bet. Not even a wee one.

I thought that it was a result of the lifeforce going from Justin through Bob to Harry. Harry kept shouting "let go, Bob". The life force going from Harry to Bob seemed to be conducted through Bob. I think that the force going back into him after such a short time is what killed him, like overloading a battery.

This makes sense, although it seems odd that while a lot of lifeforce was taken from Harry, he only got zapped back with it for a second or two. But Bob kept absorbing it, so that "overload" theary makes lots of sense.
Only, poor dear Harry just got his life shortened (good thing wizards live for a long time!) cuz he didn't get it all back (just enough to magically release his bonds that he couldn't undo before for whatever reason (and which were also a pretty shade of blue).
Maybe if they'd shown magical bonds that got obliterated with the redistribution of lifeforce my inner magic-geek would be pleased as punch, and my inner make-sense-damnit!-geek would be satisfied.
