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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"Actually, four things. And a lizard."

Dear God I love this episode.

At the Y, I was surfing for something to watch on the television on the elliptical trainer, and ended up with this episode of the new Outer Limits. Look at the cast.

Was Sally Sparrow an entirely new character for BLINK? Loved her (and the episode). Though I must say, in terms of a horrible demise, the weeping Angels are scary as shit, but the fate doesn't seem quite so bad.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Was Sally Sparrow an entirely new character for BLINK?

Yes. It was based on a short story originally published in the 2006 Doctor Who Annual: [link]

Did anybody else go WTFLOL about the United Methodist Church sponsoring the show...?

Thrive to spite them

It was amusing, but not as WTF as the local ads I've seen during Supernatural -- one for the new Catholic high school and another for a new Christian academy that boasts using the Abeka system, which is a fundamentalist curriculum that te

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who

Yeah. If I'm repeating myself, apologies, but getting to see Jo fleshed out with all her wonderful layers and feminine touches underneath her aggressive/butch front (but I don't believe it is, I think that's a part of her as well) is not a natural lead-in for the reveal of... of... this.

I can't help wondering if Jo's regression has anything to do with Andrew Cosby's departure and new writers picking up the reins. "God is in the Details" is the first episode written by Eric Wallace, who apparently just doesn't "get" Jo. Still, you'd think Tania and Jamie would exercise some sort of quality control...

On Dr. Who - one of the most perfect episodes ever, I agree. "Blink" will give me nightmares. Just one question though: so the monsters are trapped staring into each others eyes until the single incandescent bulb illuminating them dies? About a week then?

Not if the Weeping Angels can see in the dark!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And they can, because they were chasing in the dark.

It's a tarp we have to worry about.
