'Objects In Space'


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.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So did I. She looked so familiar, but I couldn't place her.

i do wonder if this means we won't be seeing Missy Peregrym on Heroes this season.

It's not very likely.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I ahem'd Reaper and also thought it was really good. Ray Wise is perfect casting as the Devil.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

One handy thing about Candice's power is that the unavailability of the original actress doesn't mean we won't have the character back.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

BBCA is showing "The Girl in the Fireplace" and I immediately thought, "THAT'S where I last saw that plot about watching the little girl grow up from Moonlight last night."

sumi, not to mention, same damn girl (Sophie Myles).

And now, I'll have to watch season 2 because

ACK! Wish you had put the spoiler warning in BEFORE the spoiler!

oh well, I kind of inferred that from the discussions about what the casting spoilers are. It's just impossible to watch stuff on delay and stay spoiler free.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

lisah, the situation is probably more complicated than you think it is.

But yeah, given the respective airing schedules of Doctor Who and Torchwood in the U.S., it's hard to keep track of the continuity sometimes.

Oh, it's cool! I'm sure it will still be interesting to me and I don't really expect to stay completely unspoiled for shows that loads of people are able to watch months before I am.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Surprised nobody mentioned the use of the Rogue Traders in this DW ep.

We're catching up on Torchwood because Hubs was away on business. We're halfway through "Ghost Machine." My reactions -- so far, there doesn't seem to be a lot of "there" there, and the character of Captain Jack makes a better sidekick than boss.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

ACK! Wish you had put the spoiler warning in BEFORE the spoiler!

Oh, man. I'm so sorry. I edited to put the spoiler warning before, but barn door and horses and all that.

On its own, it's an annoying little dance song, but it works beautifully in context. All the mention of the drums leading up to the "here comes the drums" intro in the song -- the incongruence of it all was rather delightful. My favourite bit in that scene is probably the shots of Lucy Saxon dancing (badly) to the song in some kind of sexual thrall, which was so perversely right, and reminded me strongly of Drusilla.

That was hilarious!

I'm actually liking Torchwood a lot more than I expected to given the reaction here. I love Gwen, anyway. Barrowman's "American" accent still sounds fake to me and that bugs.
