Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

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 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.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
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!)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
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?

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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.
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.
You were saving yourself from the commercial reversioning! (Which I guess doesn't apply if you have BBCA On Demand, but um...yeah.)

Exactly, but they were much less likely to make or sell region one dvds w/o the show airing in the US.
I guess they could have made region 1 dvds to sell to Canada. Did it air in Canada already?
Also, BBCA airs Footballers Wives, does Torchwood really have as much that "couldn't" be aired here as Footballers Wives does?

Heads up Dresden Files watchers!
According to TV Guide Online, SciFi is showing two eps back to back on April 8 and April 15. A rerun airs at 9 and the new ep at 10.(Which puts it opposite Blood Ties. Grrr. Don't they realize people work on Monday mornings. Ah, well...dueling VCRs it is)
