Aww, Boe!
(I suspect Laura tuned it at the same time I did.)
Yeah... That went well.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Must set Tivo for Sands of Oblivion in case I forget. Just for Baldwin and Baccarin, even if it sucks.

Art Crawl!!!
That was a good episode. Going to watch again after Psych.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah I came in late. I'll have to watch that episode again.
Just for Baldwin and Baccarin, even if it sucks.
I expect it will be the quality product we have come to expect from SciFi original movies. Fun for the whole family. Wine helps.

Question for longtime Who-vians: is the Face of Bo (or Boe or whatever) something that originated with number 9, or is this a long term Doctor Who character?

Yup, he's new series only, FB.

I liked the kittens.
I also loved the Doctor dropping in on all the commuters with the aid of the Sonic Screwdriver!

I loved the matter-of-fact elderly lesbian couple. Especially the one who does the gridlock equivalent of trainspotting.

Cat People! Kittens! Rose-angst! Martha-angst! Doctor lying because he just can't share with Martha what he shared with Rose! Martha saving herself! Kittens! Face of Boe don't die! Martha putting her foot down, you go girl! The Doctor talking about Gallifrey!
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this ep, the whole backstory of what happened to the city, the devestation of seeing the senate turned into a tomb, that there was no nefarious plot, just an attempt to save humankind as best the senate could, and the danger that those rose out of that gesture. The city singing was just beautiful, and made me think that this was the commuters only way to feel connected as a people and society despite being physically isolated in their sardine tins. And the singing was especially lovely --the whole of the scene, really-- when the Doctor finally tells Martha about Gallifrey.

It's the easiest threat to make in the world: "If you cancel this show, I'll never watch your channel again." It's also empty. They know it's empty. All they need is one show that you like, and they know they'll get you back. Don't even try to deny it.
The blog writer is rubbing me the wrong way with this, because when I said in 2004 that I wouldn't watch the WB until they aired Mutant Enemy shows again I meant it. And I didn't tune in until their final day of broadcasting, when they aired the Buffy and Angel pilots. Accusing one's readers of being weak-willed or not knowing their own minds (and adopting the lecturing tone of a kindergarten teacher while doing it) does not work for me as a writing style. And just managed to put me off of Blood Ties by association.
