'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Uh, DC? I didn't know there was supposed to be mention of [omitted]
The character in question was announced to be in the third series and left to join the Tardis off screen at the end of season one of Torchwood .
It is widely known, but I have altered my post because it is not necessarily known by all.
Blood Ties: how the heck is the priest alive for 400 years? Is he actually a vampire too?
sumi, did you catch the explanation having to do with milking vampires for their blood and mixing it with some sort of special chinese herb, all tied up with a black magic ritual and then having jazz hands waved over it?
Boy, that was a bit more torture than I usually care to watch. But I did have to laugh at Henry saying "grace" as he drug the monsigneur down the hall, before chowing down.
I have no trouble handling psychic whales. (A BABY WHALE FRIEND. NAMED SAM.)With everything SGA has asked me to deal with over the years? Whales (fish whales even) are easy. Especially when it is a baby whale friend named Sam. Because I found that amusing.
And, boy howdy, Shep was smoking hot.
Boy, I am all about the shallow when it comes to this show.
I'm just getting to SG1 now and it's ... lacking thrall. Except Sam's password. That's kinda amusing. Well, unless she dies. Then it'll be poignant. I hope.
I thought that thing Daniel mentioned was pretty widely known, too.
Doctor Who: I really, really don't like the pig/humans. It's a thing. Especially since they serve no freaking purpose at all. I gotta say, apart from Martha being awesome as per usual, and the Doctor being hot like burning (what's up with his hair this season? why is he suddenly like a thousand times hotter??), this ep didn't really do it for me. Ah well -- maybe I'll rewatch "Gridlock" to restore my love.
I had somehow managed to block out the ending of Torchwood that makes that not a Dr. Who spoiler, but I'm very sure that if I'd heard it explicitly I'd have remembered.
As such, not bothered by the omission, and now knowing what I know, still not bothered because it's a time travel device. It's only our poor human impatience that hurts us.
TiVoed PKJane again. I have some problems. Kristianna Loken fights like pacifist naked mole rat with scurvy and no teeth. She would lose to SMG, her fighting position is so lame.
Her character is also insufferably smug, both in voiceover and onscreen. I hate the feeling I should have been recording some other show (say, like Blood Ties).
If I have SG1, SGA, SPN, Eureka, TDF, BSG, The 4400, and The Dead Zone season passes, what am I missing that I can catch up on easily?
And where the fuck am I going to get the time?
And where the fuck am I going to get the time?Tardis.
Can you deliver me one of those? Please make sure the Doctor comes with (9, 10, 5, or 4--in order of preference).
SGA:
Atlantis (or Lantea, whateverthefuck they call the Lantean homeworld) is really a deathtrap of a place anyway. Killer hurricanes every 10,000 years, killer sunspots every 15,000.
I think the universe itself is trying to get rid of the Ancients. First there was a plague that kills people with healing powers who can survive being frozen in ice for millions of years. Then the iratus bug somehow mutates into super-strong immortal telepathic space vampires who overrun their galaxy. Their new homeworld's sun develops a hiccup that fires lased plasma bolts at their planet every 15,000 years (and higher animals would never have developed there if that had been happening for millions of years). The replicators that they designed as a weapon turned on them. The fundie inquisitor cousins they fled eons ago somehow find a way to evolve and ascend while making the sign of the Evil Eye at scientific advancement. Every time one of them pops out of stasis they're struck down by runaway geriatric feebleness within moments, despite the fact that they could live thousands of years out of stasis. When the last of them show their faces after 10,000 years in the intergalactic void, it's about 6 weeks before the aforementioned rogue replicators pop up and kill them all.
Seriously, if the Ori hadn't ascended after most of the Ancients died off, I'd suspect them of laying some kind of curse on their more scientifically minded cousins.
Cass, while you're at it, could you swing 7 (companion package only) by for me?
Oh, and when I said order of preference I meant that's the order I'd prefer you to send me them in. All of them.
