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.
Exactly, tiggy.
That look of disbelief and betrayal -- it's so terrible. And the Doctor just goes merrily on his way. Now I'm thinking about when they first met Jack, in "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances", and Rose had to remind the Doctor to save Jack from exploding when the bomb was set to go off. I hadn't really picked up on the Doctor's reluctance before, but it's clear on rewatch that he has some very mixed feelings about Jack -- which makes Jack's hero-worship of him all the sadder.
(And I share your hope for
Torchwood
season 2!)
Whenever CE gave his full smile he looked like he could consume half the state of Texas.
See, and I loved his crazy huge smile. It made him look just a little bit dangerous, even at his happiest & most innocuous.
Former Dark Angel and Surface showrunner takes over for Greenwalt on Moonlight.
HD.Net will air Torchwood in HD starting September 17th.
I'm not sure that British dentistry and HD television are a match made in heaven.
Well, John Barrowman has American dentistry.
Does a semi-retired-from-practice doctor loose the honorific, or does she get called "Doctor" only when she's just pulled the stethescope out of the freezer and put it to your chest?
The only time I know that the honorific gets lost in the case of of retirement are physicians under the British bachelor of medicine system. Technically, they lose the title of Dr if they are no longer on the list of practitioners (licensed). However, some surgeons in the UK go by Mr and Miss as a traditional thing because historically they learned their craft through apprenticeship (and were frequently barbers), and not in university. But this convention is dying. And since this show takes place in the US, it isn't a good explanation (unless she really does have an MBBS instead of an MD).
I have a feeling that the reason for the ever changing Ms. / Dr. is due to the change requested by Salli to make Allison a physician instead of a nurse or paramedic (after establishing her character as "Ms. Blake") and therefore the scripts frequently say Ms. where they should say Dr.
Well, John Barrowman has American dentistry.
Man, his accent sounds so fake to me (I haven't seen Torchwood at all, fwiw, just his appearances on Dr. Who).
Barrowman was raised in the U.S., though he's Scottish by birth. You can definitely hear the British influence in his voice and his word choices, though.
