dude! i'm so excited about the Who casting spoiler.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.
Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) 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 do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

All is well that ends in pizza.
Also, with the official preview at the end of this week's episode, we can officially speculate on Captain Jack Harkness, as the character was shown.

Art Crawl!!!
I'm seriously in need of a hobby.
I thought that all of this WAS your hobby?
(Hee, I'm not reading the Who whitefont -- but I BET I know what it's about.)

Re. the Doctor Who casting spoiler:
So, do I need to finish watching Torchwood season 1 for me to grok the episodes where Captain Jack shows up? 'Cause... uhm, I kind of *violently* loathed what I've seen of Torchwood and I'd rather not revisit the show unless it's necessary. Maybe I can just watch the final two-parter...?

that's actually not the casting spoiler i was referring to, but i'm excited about it too.
to answer your question, Vonnie, i doubt it. not that i've read more than casting spoilers. but Torchwood was pretty standalone from DW except for the random mentions here and there.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
S3 Dr. Who: Thanks for the link, Daniel. So I guess that if there are posters saying "Vote Saxon", it makes sense that Martha's mum would know who he is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
SGA: Oh, noes, the Ancients have somehow given one of our heroes mental powers but it's GOING TO KILL HIM!
Okay, so Merlin wasn't killing Daniel by being in him, but isn't it The Fifth Race (you know the one I mean) without anything else interesting to say?

Thanks, tiggy! That's a relief. And now that I look back, I sort of see which casting spoiler you guys were talking about. I'm excited about that one, too!

Yeah, Vonnie, no need to inflict Torchwood on yourself just for that.
And yes, now that he's been in the trailer too we can finally talk about John Simm! I was very happy to see him, especially flashing that delicious smile, which he didn't nearly get the chance to do often enough on Life on Mars.
In fact, the whole trailer was extremely appetite-whetting; I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season. This one's been enjoyably consistant so far, for me.
I thought the last episode was good too, mainly because of Mark Gatiss. And also because of reversing the polarity, and going up to 11.

Dr. Who: WTF, that was John Simm??? I totally didn't recognize him!

Oh, I thought you meant the guy whispering into Martha's Mum's ear. I assumed that was Saxon, not John Simm in the promo.
