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.
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.
Surprised nobody mentioned the use of the Rogue Traders in this DW ep
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.
Back when the episode first aired, I said you had to love a bad guy who used the word "decimate" correctly AND had his own evil theme song.

It's not annoying! It's fun! They took the "Pump It Up" riff and made it even more fun.

Totally agree!

he does tend overenunciate, doesn't he? i suppose since he's surrounded by all Brits he finds it hard not to automatically slip into his Scottish accent and is trying to make sure he doesn't.
Someone, I think a Buffista, said his over enuciation might be due to all the theater work he's done.
I don't mind his accent since he's not supposed to be contemporary American.
Maybe that's what Americans sound like, whenever it is he's actually supposed to be from?

This makes a lot of sense to me, as it's (by-proxy) what gave me my "accent" growing up (I lived within 20 minutes of where I was born up until I went to college)
