Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.
Also, red-shirt Tom was very pretty.
was there a scene where Martha looks him up at the end? Did I imagine that, or was that cut from this U.S. version? I might have stepped out of the room and missed it. Or maybe that's a memory based on a what-if conversation?
It wasn't in the US version.
Oh, phooey. But I'm glad it wasn't another symptom of my insanity.
I wonder what else was cut?
it was definitely in the BBC version, Juliebird.
When Mrs Saxon visits the Master's grave at the end, was there a hint that he was regenerating after all?
That's what I assumed, Typo Boy. Like maybe somehow he had put himself in the ring, or something.
Good finale. Things like the floaty Doctor are what remind me that it's a kids' show.
Dear Lord, the Face of Bo(e). Wonder how long they had *that* planned. That's going to require some rewatching, for sure.
We only saw a feminine hand pick up a ring and heard and echo of maniacal laughter, as I recall.
why do they repeat Flash and Stargate but not Dr Who? So unfair!
On one hand, they could be setting up for the master to return somewhere down the line, but the character as he's been portrayed... I don't see anything but a wish to die (and bring down the entire universe with him), I can't see him scheming some backup plan to anticipate being murdered, not regenerating, imbuing his soul or whatnot into the ring, and... oh... okay, I can: Having Mrs. Saxon shoot him could have been part of the plan once he was caught. Hmmm...
Having an backup plan is definitely Master-like, but RTD said he put that in mainly for future production teams, so they'd have an pre-setup out for bringing back the Master.
Face of Bo thing is AWESOME!
I take back anything bad I ever said about Martha.
