Former Dark Angel and Surface showrunner takes over for Greenwalt on Moonlight.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

I'm not sure that British dentistry and HD television are a match made in heaven.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.
