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.
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?
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.
Kate, I'm passing on Vonnie's rec of this awesome vid. You've got to watch it, seriously. It's one of the coolest vids I've ever seen.
Has anyone else seen this take on Tony Blair's response to political obsolescence?
I'm guessing that's the Dead Ringers thing with
David Tennant,
right?
I don't think anyone's mentioned that
the Doctor's new squeeze is Jessica Stevenson/Hynes from Spaced!
Um, I did, Polter-Cow, in my very first post on the episode. S'okay, just go on ignoring me.... I thought she was great in this too.
Re the Jeremy Baines actor - he also plays Will Scarlett in the new BBC Robin Hood, which airs in the Doctor Who slot during the summer. Check out this picture. He's unrecognisable (and HOTTT!). Also, I just thought he was excellent, full stop, didn't find him
bug-eyed at all. Quite underplayed and just very creepy. As ita points out, he was a bit weird beforehand
anyway.
Edit: oooh, missed my birth-year by one post.

Rock on! What did you think of it? Thanks for the vid rec; I'm downloading it now.
They're all in the Closed TV threads section.
Oh, duh, I forgot there was a separate folder for closed TV threads. Thanks!
Kate, you should also watch the other Life on Mars vid that ran at Vividcon that year. Let me find a link.
