Willow ,'Showtime'
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.
DW 3.10:
Oh, yeah - definitely one of the creepiest episodes, and also sweet, with the scene in the hospital as whathisname was dying .
I still can't get over that the statues were all actors in make-up. They were just amazing, as was the make-up/costuming .
Edited to whitefont. Sorry, guys! That was careless of me.
No, Laga - DW is Doctor Who. Which is often fantastic. (I can offer no comment on Deadwood, because I never watched.)
Sorry, Laga, I meant Doctor Who.
JenP, the statues were actors? Holy cow! That's awesome!
It was just... scary and nice, and--woops, I think we need to spoilerfont. This hasn't aired in the US yet.
I really liked Sally Sparrow, and how she brought herself to accept what happened and just dealt with it on its own terms. I wanted to like Lawrence more, but man, he was unattractive.
Still, I could totally see Sally being a companion some day. She was great.
Oh Duh- Deadwood would be in premium cable. I'm a big who-lover from the Tom Baker days. I'm currently waiting for disc one of season two (hello David Tennant!) to arrive from Netflix.
Oops. Thanks for the heads-up on the whitefont. I wasn't thinking.
DW 3.10: Yes, Sally would be a fantastic companion; really loved the character and the actor's performance.
Laga, I'm rewatching S1 through Netflix right now. Well, actually, I've got the discs and haven't been watching them yet. But they're here!
I first saw "the girl in the fireplace" episode with David Tennant. That prompted me to put them in my queue but I wasn't expecting Christopher Eccleston and I was kinda disappointed when he showed up. Then I ended up falling in love with CE so now DT's gonna have to win me back.
Just wait til you see episode 3 of Tennant's run.
Is that the Shakespeare one?
Is that the Shakespeare one?
That was this season. Tennant's done two series so far. I believe Matt is referring to "School Reunion"?
Anyone watch the 4400 yesterday? There was theremin in the score for the movie-within-a-movie in the first scene. The player is on a theremin listserve and gave us a heads up about it.
Last night I sucked down seven episodes from season one of DW. They've been running them on PBS which is great because, hey presto, no commercials! I missed the first four, but I think I've pretty much figured out what the what is of those. I hope I can get through all of season two by the time season three starts playing on SciFi or wherever it plays when it gets here.
Honestly, I only started watching because of the enthusiasm in here, but I am a true convert. I owe you all toasters. I knew the show was going to be interesting, I had no idea how often it was going to make me cry. That, and it's an awful lot of pretty in one place. Can I have Captain Jack for Christmas?
