Early ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Ooops. There goes my internal rationalization for why it was okay to ahem Torchwood. Please don't ask me about my internal rationalization for why it was okay to ahem Dr. Who. Something about a slippery slope and how I really, really wanted to.
Aww, I'll miss Keeping Up Appearances, though. Now they need a BBCAmerica Classic!
Wow. I wonder how much they'll have to edit Torchwood for American TV. I'm guessing a lot.
Does BBC-A edit for content, or for time (or both)? I've never watched it regularly enough to judge.
But, airing in the US means region 1 dvds with all the stuff from the UK airing back in. (And I'm hoping for On Demand availability with the same.)
I honestly don't know. British TV has to be edited for time so that they can squish all the commercials in. I'm now tempted to watch Torchwood on BBCA and compare them to the uncut versions, just to see what's missing.
They'll probably have to edit out the few uses of "fuck", I'd guess. I say this, having never seen BBCA except for a few times at my parents' house. (I want BBCA! I love the British!)
You say that until your roommate watches endless hours of The Bill and Neighbours.
I suspect they'll have to edit out at least 15 minutes of material for each episode. Which is really quite a lot.
I don't suppose there's any hope that they'd just edit "Cyberwoman" down to fill it with 42 minutes of commericals from the other episodes, is there?
Bwhahaha!
If only, Matt. If only.
Dresden: Huh, okay. The emotional denoument didn't really pack a punch, did it? Which is too bad because I suspect PB of having more to deliver.
I thought that Harry's murder of his uncle would be more premeditated than that. Like, I kept waiting for the cutaway shot after he and Justin first greeted that would show he was getting ready to murder him. Instead it's this semi-impassioned action that doesn't ring quite true.
I did like the stuff at the end with Bob, though. Clever ghost-man.
And particularly, I thought the scene with Murphy at the end was played well. If only because I like that there is a friendship there, a kinship, and Harry really does believe that Murphy makes him a better person; but it's not sexually or OTPish at all. It just a very strong friendship that happens to occur between a man and a woman, that--for once, like, ever (XF, anyone?)--isn't being lead down shippy paths. I appreciate that, and I don't think you see enough of it.
But, airing in the US means region 1 dvds with all the stuff from the UK airing back in.
The two aren't related -- home video is a separate department from the channel.

You were saving yourself from the commercial reversioning! (Which I guess doesn't apply if you have BBCA On Demand, but um...yeah.)
