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.
Same thing happened to me, pretty much. Audio was out of sync on the Mac, and it was totally unplayable on the PC or by my DVD player.
All good now.
Okay, that was
gay.
And I mean that in the
slashy sense. Damn that Master/Doctor.
Good on
Martha. Saved the world and walked away from unrequited love.
I think I know which one she found harder.
The
Face of Bo
revelation is going to have me snickering for a while--like you, Fiona, I now need to rewatch the applicable episodes. Well, snickering up until
his death, which will be
extra poignant and sad.
Which one did you guys ahem that didn't play? I'm in the middle of ahemming the [MM] one.
That wasn't the one I had problem with, Jon. I'm grabbing the [MM] one now too.
Who 3x13:
Mrs Saxon had
facial bruises consistent with being hit. I think they were going for domestic violence vibes.
And Oh yes, the
ring at the end reminded me of Flash Gordon, too. Will we see the master possessing a woman, next? It was a woman's hand, IIRC.
Unless, of course,
Mrs Saxon or the ring is the repository the real Master, and the ring just let her fake her own death to get away.
Who 3x13:
Bloody. Fear Factor for the ep will have to wait until Monday, the website says. I like hearing the opinions of the kids.
I am soooo very far behind. (except for reading whitefont, because I do)
I have the entire Who for this season sitting on disk ready for my viewing pleasure. And just tonight I watched the last 3 episodes from last season. If it were not for summer vacation I would not watch the blessed tv at all.
The upside, I shall watch this season in marathon viewing. Woo!
Re Daniel's whitefont:
It was a woman's hand, IIRC.
I thought it was
Mrs. Saxon's hand which picked up the ring, which would fit into the abused spouse dynamic (I noticed the bruises too). I also did consider the possibility of a female Master (Mistress?), though, which would be SUPER interesting, if and when they decide to revive him/her.
I think I know which one she found harder.
Good point, ita.
Whofont! it was definitely Mrs. Saxon's hand taking the ring at the end. go back to the scene when Jack is taking the gun from her. she has those same, semi-long red nails.
Dr. Who 3.13:
Man, the internets are generally grumpy about this episode. I'm sorry it couldn't be as awesome as "Utopia" and "The Sound of Drums", but I still enjoyed it. My standards for sense-making aren't very high.
Aged!Ten looked alarmingly like Dobby the house-elf. That would make a hell of a crossover.
One major complaint seems to be that there was a reset. Well -- yeah. I always figured there'd be a reset. Aside from the fact that The Master killed SIX HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE, he set up something called a "paradox machine". It was pretty obvious to me that a name like that might as well be a blinking sign that said "please shoot me to resolve the plot."
I have no idea what's going to happen in the next series. Huh.
