(Is it time for Croatoan yet?)It should be. That one's brutal on rewatch.
Um, I don't know what ep we are really on. I was just going to admit that in e and not, you know, here.
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 have finished Life on Mars and posted about it.
Nice piece, PC, but... aaaargh!
What if you were a London cop just minding your own business, and you got hit by a car and woke up in 1973?
Not London, Manchester! Integral and pivotal to the series!
Sorry. Carry on.
Aww, Jim Beaver calls the guys "the JJs".
See, this is what I'm talking about!!
Okay, it's not the JJs that killed me, it's Jim Beaver calling them "buff-guys-the-vampire-slayers." I mean, HAR and BWAH!
So, SPN rewatch is Thursday at 7 boardtime, yes?

At least you're up front about it. But it's probably safer to err on the side of "place name mentioned frequently for a reason."
Manchester. . . .isn't that in Alabama? Are you saying that LoM isn't in the Deep South?

Oh, dear.
After enough British TV, I find Northern accents very distinguishable from what I identify as London accents. It helps that shows seem to take place in either London or Manchester.
I knew it was Manchester in 1973, but I wasn't entirely certain that Sam was in Manchester in 2006, due to my "all of England is London" view. Also, I may have thought Manchester was just a part of London, like Manhattan is just a part of New York.
So what makes Manchester a unique setting for the show? What is so pivotal about it?
(Is that "Oi! Oi! Oi!" a Northern thing?)
