'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Can I change CFerg's user name to "Hot Lunch"? It's a little too perfect.
Oh please yes please ita please. Of course then my husband will never let me post here again. I came home from a bad, hard, long meeting last night and he started asking me about it. I finally said, "I don't want to talk about it. I just want to eat some cookies and watch Jack." I didn't even have the diplomacy in me to say, "Eureka."
Humorless? That wasn't Torchwood and you weren't watching at a Legion of Rassilon meeting.
Um...yes it was and no I wasn't, but I have seen the whole season (I'm in the UK) so my opinion is cumulative, a result of things that happen further along. I was certainly willing to love it, hoping that each ep would change my opinion for the better. Unfortunately, quite the opposite. I'll be interested to see what people here think as the season moves along.
Ok. My bunch saw the season as a group (about 20-25) and our reaction was quite different than yours. Generally Torchwood was a real crowd pleaser for us.
Ausiello had something Smallville in his weekly report:
It's got to be Chloe, which saddens me, because Chloe kicks ass and I'm tired of Lana. But I can't see anything else playing out. Lana and the others are all canon, and Chloe isn't.
It is really quite wrong that sci-fi can do all these promotions of "Flash Gordon vs The Hawkmen" like it is going to be good.
Well, you can pretty much see that it isn't.
Mikey - I had sadly reached that conclusion after the finale and also some years ago because she is the only one not canonical.
Did people catch Zoe's, "Bored now" when she was talking to Jo?
She said "or now," as in "Or we can discuss it now."
The problem with Jo and Zane is not that he's smarter than she is. It's that he's a GIANT TOOL. Grrr.
Well, you can pretty much see that it isn't.
But if you close your eyes and just listen to the promo--there is false hope.
The problem with Jo and Zane is not that he's smarter than she is. It's that he's a GIANT TOOL. Grrr.
Exactly. And why she's ignoring or not seeing that is a mystery to me. Insecurity schminsecurity - guy's a jackhole. If they want to explore that idea (and I wish they wouldn't) at least make her object of affection a decent human. Bleh.
It looked to me like the hawk men "fly" by wearing leather jackets and grabbing the lapels so they catch the wind as they fall. Which they should do in a manner not dissimilar to lead weights, unless my understanding of physics and aerodynamics is completely off base.
I assume the lion men will turn out to be transplanted Detroit football fans who've painted whiskers on their faces...
Giant Tool: yes.
I have to admit I thought it was weird that the only people in the church in the beginning of the episode were persons of color--the only identifiable white person was Teryl Rothery (who I pretty much pegged as the Bad Guy because she was Teryl Rothery and you don't bring her in for three lines and a handshake). White people aren't religious in Eureka?
I hope they make Zane go away; Jo's way too good for him. And I think I've become a Stark/Alison shipper: I'm really liking the relationship there.
