JenP, folks on TWoP were saying it reminded them of both the Ood and Davy Jones.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
DW: Human/Dalek = chthullu ping, for me.

DW: Aha! Thanks, P-C, it's Davy Jones! Man, I wonder how long that would've taken me. I hope not until PotC III. And, yeah, the Ood. I can see that. I'm not well-versed enough in chthullu lore for that to have been it for me, though.
Phew.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I've yet to see the episode, but I'm kind of amused by Dr. Who's Zoidberg Dalek . I adore the season so far, though-- there can never be enough catnuns . Ever.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
SG-1 - OMG still with the Ori. Yawn! I do like the Vala & Tobin storyline, though. (And was Daniel getting captured last week just an excuse to give MS a week off? Since we've apparently not been trying to rescue him at all?)
SGA - BAD crack in the writers room. Seriously, psychic whales? Seriously??

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
OK, I'm exactly two minutes into Who 3x4 and I already have two pedantic nitpicks:
1. The Statue of Liberty's torch is wrong! In the 1930's she had a glass torch, not a copper one!
2. Hooverville was in Riverside park, not Central park!

Oh, thanks for number 2, Scola. I'd never heard of it before, so I was learning American history from this British sci-fi show.

Looks like they did their homework!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Who: P-C, did you see the confidential? They did indeed do their homework.
CFerg, get better soon, or stay well. Whichever wishes and vibes you need. It's good to see you here. At my house, we are re-watching Eureka s1 so we will be all ready for the new eps this summer.
Ok, really, we are watching them now because they are fun to watch.
