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.
In my head, guff is something you give a person--backtalk, truculence, that sort of stuff.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. I guess the connotation doesn't particularly work in the setting I was using.
when does season three start?
There is no season three, although I heard someone say they were considering doing a "sequel" in the '80s.
John Simm has climbed his way to the top of my very favorite british actors list.
I like 'im. And now I understand the excitement about the
Doctor Who casting spoiler.
There are only 2 seasons of LoM. The creators felt they could only sustain the show for a limited amount of time and so decided only to do 2 seasons.
P-C's right there is talk of a spin off, although I'm not sure when it's going to be set, I heard it would be based around Gene.
I heard that it's going to be set in the
'80s.
Umm, here is an article about it - which I haven't read because I still have two episodes of season 2 of LoM to watch.
So cannot speak to the spoileriness of the piece.
I'd say it's pretty spoilery, so avoid it until you've seen the end.

Spoilery enough that I wouldn't read it unless you've seen the last episode of S2.
and sometimes wonder why they couldn't tell these stories in present day.
A major theme of the show, I think, is how
police techniques have changed in the last 24 years.
I don't think there are plans for a S3, so I wouldn't wait. Consume, consume!
OMG! really?! i so can't handle the way the british do television. there's never enough (time)!
'spose i'll finish up season two asap then.
isn't there another Brit show with John Simm that's fairly recent? anyone seen it? worth *ahem*-ing?

It is hard to get used to, especially when it's fabulous and you just want more, but with LoM, I think it would have been hard to sustain the concept indefinitely. Which brings us back to skepticism about the American version. Last I'd heard, they'd only cast the "Annie" character. So much is going to depend on the Sam and Gene casting.

tiggy, he'll be appearing in the last couple of episodes of this season's
Doctor Who.
They'll be broadcast the end of June.
He was also in "State of Play" (as was Philip Glenister), which I never saw so I don't know what it's like, but as Bill Nighy, Kelly Macdonald and James McAvoy are also in it, and it's by Paul "Shameless" Abbott, it must be worth a look.
If I had the patience, I'd wait till any given UK series (which is what they call a season) is done and mainline it in a weekend. Never works out that way.
But I really appreciate what a short season can do for a storyline. And also when they just up and stop. Knowing there's an end (as opposed to series that want to go on for ever and ever) also makes a positive difference.
