You're killing me with the whitefont, Fiona, but I shall resist! I'm ahemming as we speak.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.
'Objects In Space'
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.

Oh sorry, Jon, but really: don't read it until you've seen the episode! It gives everything away.
I'm just frustrated because I want to discuss the ending with somebody!

Dang. Does anyone know if/when Life on Mars is supposed to run on BBCA? I tried looking but I quickly discovered I'd be quite spoiled if I looked any further.

The first series already ran. I can't find anything on the BBCA site about series 2, sorry.

hmm, I guess we'll have to wait and see if I am justified in ahemmmming it.

Art Crawl!!!
BBCA doesn't tend to update stuff that isn't currently running. I think that Life on Mars was one of the titles mentioned in the BBCA upfronts. (You know when they were talking about their schedule by show-type per day: Saturday for things like Life on Mars, Torchwood, Hex.)
Anyway, that schedule goes into effect in June. But I don't know what shows are going to be on first EXCEPT that they've been running MANY ads for season 2 of Hex.

Ben Browder, from Farscape, Stargate: SG1, and occasional guest-star appearances in my dreams.
Bwah! Yours too? The guy gets around, oneirically speaking.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
BSG - I gave up on the podcast about 10 minutes before the end. RDM needs to get the frack over the spoiler thing. I swear, the more I hear him whine about it, the more I want to break into the SciFi offices and start stealing scripts so I can post them online. (Note to SciFi honchos: just kidding! Really! I don't even live on that coast!)
Maybe it's just that with the podcasts, he's got more of an outlet to whine about this than Joss & Co did, but I honestly don't remember spoilers being taken so seriously back in the old days. (Taken seriously in the "taken as a personal affront" sense -- obviously ME were masters at leaking foilers when they wanted to, but I always got a sense that they treated it as a game rather than a personal betrayal of everything fandom was supposed to stand for.)

The end of Season 5 definitely made me feel that Joss and the Mutant Enemy folks were having fun with the foiler chaff. It turned out I was actually spoiled for "The Gift," but there were so many contradictory rumors that it felt like being unspoiled. The thing was like Schrödinger's Finale until it actually aired.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Man, the Life on Mars whitefont is killing me. And the thing is, I have the entire series two ahemed but haven't had the chance to watch anything past episode 2. I know I'd be better served by resisting WF and watching the eps unspoiled, but MAN. It's tempting.
Someone on my Flist a few days ago linked to this clip: [link]
I haven't watched 24 Hour Party People, but apparently John Simm was in it and he played the New Order front man Bernard Sumner? (Must Netflix right now OMG!) The clips shows Simm singing with Sumner in a New Order concert, and he has this cute leather jacket-over-hoodie outfit on, and he's all shy about being pulled into stage, then you could see him go, "oh, what the hell" and belting it out with all he's got, and really, it's fucking adorable.
It also helps that I just fell for New Order, 20 years behind everyone else.
