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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But P-C, he was evil to start out with.

Excellent. Who's airing this latest season of Dr. Who in the US? And when?
Also, does BBCA edit for content, or just commercial time?

Scifi will air season 3 starting in July.
I don't know that BBCA edits for more than time. Afterall they air Footballer's Wives which was designed to be smutty. I don't think that Torchwood is MORE smutty than FW.

Ann, that's a ferret.
And BBCA airs Footballers' Wives at all times of the day. They recently had reruns at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern), and the new season will air at 8:00 (Eastern) on Wednesdays.

I just parsed the end of ita's comments above in a very odd way. I took the word "like" to mean "acting like", and was briefly very confused.
The same thing happened to me!
Me three.
I would like to get it on with John Winchester. There. I said it.
So say we all. Well, so say we many.
Re: the acting in 3.08 - I didn't put it down to bad acting, it was just kind of an irritating portrayal to me. I thought he played the WTF invisible spaceship scene well. Also, the actor himself was v. cute in the Confidential, which is completely beside the point, and yet, true.

All is well that ends in pizza.

He startled me in the Confidential. I thought he was very different IRL. What with the scruffy, the hair and the not being evil.

So I just finished the first season of Life on Mars, and holy crap, is that an excellent show. (Also, John Simm is my new teevee boyfriend.) I love how ambiguous the plot is -- there's no clear goal for Sam, anymore than there's a clear explanation for what's happened to him, so he gets his hopes up over and over, only to have them dashed. Still, though, I'm dying to know why he's really there! Must watch season 2 right now.
edit: I went looking for past Boxed Set threads to see what people had said about Life on Mars already, and I can't find the old threads! I've checked the Closed Threads folder, the Film & TV discussion folder, and the Archives page. What am I overlooking?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Kate! I just finished the first season just now! Are we British TV twins or what?

I think it was discussed a bit all over, Kate. Check out Unamerican for sure.
ETA: They're all in the Closed TV threads section.
