'The Message'
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.
The second I heard Carter mention that his wife was a psychiatrist, I wanted Barlowe and Abby to have a shrink cat-fight. Abby can point out all the crackpot methods that Barlowe has been employing, up to and including the inability to say the word "death" out loud when dealing with a patient.
And I thought my confusion over the Stark/email thing was simply because I'd missed half the ep.
Skimming the W&P because I haven't seen the ep yet to say that since the new season started, this picture has been getting a bazillion more hits, including one email asking me if the photo is real and wanting to know "my story." Ack! Strangers!
Whoish news from Outpost Gallifrey - a site that is chockful of spoilers:
The Park Entertainment/Jetix series of 26 half-hour K9 Adventures episodes is said to be currently in pre-production with a targeted delivery date of July 2008.
and
The BBC has confirmed that spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures will be broadcast this autumn.
A press office story about the rebranding of CBBC says that the show will be part of the autumn season.
A precise date for when The Sarah Jane Adventures will start is yet to be given. The series will comprise five two-part stories.
The new look for CBBC, designed to attract a wider audience of children aged six to 12, will be unveiled at the end of the summer.
Closing my eyes half-way since I haven't caught up on Eureka yet:
For those who are unscrupulous about this sort of thing, Pushing Daisies pilot has been leaked and is out there. Not that I have already watched it or anything. Nope. *cough*
Could they be setting it up for Abby to take Beverly's job when her plotting is uncovered? It seems a bit early for Henry to have uncovered Bev's duplicity, but then again, with an agenda of his own maybe he'll keep that information supressed for a while. So many ways that could go.
I think that they are setting that up, but it's complete bullshit. The amount of background checks that she would have to go through to be Eureka's shrink are enormous. They will probably handwave and say that they did the background checks when Jack got hired, but that will annoy me and piss me off. Plus, I don't like her.
Tell us what you really think, Vortex!
What Vortex said. I'm completely unsympathetic to Abby right now. Maybe I missed some stuff at the beginning, but it sounded like she'd made no effort to keep in touch with Zoe. Why should she be able to waltz right in and whisk her away? And to think Jack wouldn't object?
I'm on the not liking Abby much too train as well. (Plus, Zoe's underage, so shouldn't they have some kind of custody agreement? Not just, "hey, I'm taking her now.")
It's been a very long time since we've seen the Jack that left his daughter in a jail cell. I'm willing to grant that he may have been quite sucktabulous, and in a way you wouldn't expect a year to change.
But it's certainly not fresh in our minds.
And, like mentioned above, it might suck to be married to a cop/doctor/whatever, but there's a difference between doing what the job requires and ditching the family to hide in work. Carping spouses (I do think I've seen it both ways round) who don't get that are hard to relate to.
