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 thought the actor who played Shakespeare was fantastic. (And hot)
The hotness threw me out of it a bit, since it's well known that Shakespeare actually looked a bit more like Paul Giamatti in real life. I get that they were going for a 16th Century rock star kind of vibe, but it just didn't work for me.
I'm tired of every frickin' lone alien out there being able to casually kill off the entire planet Earth and planning to do so. I'd prefer it if they saved the doomsday stuff for big Dalek 2-parters and lessened the scope of some of the monster-of-the-week threats.
I did enjoy the madhouse scenes (and Elizabethan era life in general), and loved Martha's enthusiasm. Also loved Queen Elizabeth's reaction to the Doctor.
The Doctor just doesn't get along with queens, does he?
I saw this before via semi-legal means, but there just seemed to be
more
details that I noticed and enjoyed in this broadcast version. Maybe it's just because the picture is bigger and sharper.
Scott and I watched SPN
Houses of the Holy,
last night.
(I cried.)
(well, of
course
you did.)
Did you also love it?
Scott and I watched SPN Houses of the Holy, last night.
(I cried.)
Wait till you see Born Under a Bad Sign. And the two-part All Hells Breaks Loose.
Another convert! Yay! Who gets the toaster?
Duuuuuuuuude, BuaBS. And then AHBL...
Group toaster?
Of course I loved it.
(Scott and I were talking afterwards about evil -- and I just blubbered and couldn't finish what I was saying.)
(And poor Dean.)
(And poor Sam.)
(And poor Dean. And Sam. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Dean.)
We're watching two halves of the season at the same time. I wasn't smart enough to set up the TiVo to catch S2 reruns until "Croatoan." So we started with that. Then we ordered the first eight (or whatever) episodes of the season from Amazon Unbox (Amazon downloads the episodes to your TiVo). So we have been watching the first and second halves of season 2 simultaneously. My mind is all jumbled but it doesn't really matter, because I suspect it would be, anyhow.
(I think there should be a toaster trifecta: group toaster, a Boxed-Set-specific toaster, and a Plei toaster. When Plei uttered some Buffy heresy I shan't repeat, I had to start seriously considering watching the show.)
Welcome. Enjoy some refreshing KoolAid...
and Plei's utterance? She's kinda right. To me. It's terrifying.
You started with Croatoan? That's ... hardcore. I love that ep madly. It's Winchester kryptonite.
We had already watched all of season 1. "Croatoan" was our first season 2 episode.
I think we've seen s2 roughly in this order:
Croatoan 2.09
Hunted 2.10
In My Time of Dying 2.01 (which also killed me)
Playthings 2.11
Nightshifter 2.12
Houses of the Holy 2.13
Everybody Loves a Clown 2.02
We also put on Bloodlust (2.03) last night, but after HotH, and ELaC, I was tired and didn't make it all the way through.
Basically, when the CW airs a re-run, we watch that, then when we're done with the CW's re-run, we start digging into the first 8 episodes of the season that we ordered from Amazon Unbox. It's a little crazy, but it doesn't really matter, any more. This is very much how we caught up on BtVS (which we found in s3), but we have less catching up to do, and don't have to wait as long as you used to have to wait, for past seasons to be available.
What was Plei's utterance?
(Gah - still need to finish that birthday fic guiltguiltguilt)
