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.
My VCR cut off just before the end of this week's SGA. Where is the Replicator fleet heading?
Huh. So did mine, and I completely forgot to ask. Shows you how much the ep stuck with me!
Sam's going back to SGHQ
Really? I thought she was being brought on to replace Weir.
That's what happened in the episode. The explanation is yet to come.
I'm actually glad they didn't "immediately" replace Weir with Carter -- it would have been too much, dramatically speaking, for such an important character to not be mourned. This way there could be more focus on the dramatic possibilities of Sam taking command, getting to know the team, et cetera.

Jessica, like ita says, they haven't revealed on the show yet that she's coming back (or how/why), but yeah.
Besides, she has to go back and tell jack she's going to be on the other side of the galaxy a bit longer this time.
That is if Jack/Sam is even addressed in the two movies. If Jack survives, and a whole lot of other ifs...
ETA: Pure speculation on the movies, and relationships above.
Moonlight seems like it is trying to be a younger, hipper Forever Knight. (All the characters seem relatively similar to me if one maps Nick Knight over to Mick, Janette over to Josef Konstantin, and Natalie over to Beth Turner... ok Janette / Josef mapping is a little thin, but you know what I mean.) I haven't decided if I like it yet, but I'll watch almost any show with vampires.
I thought this week's ep of Moonlight was a lot better than the pilot, but as someone else pointed out it was also written by David Greenwalt. likely the only ep penned by him. so I'm still a bit skeptical, but it does get another pass from me.
O'Loughlin is hawt and Dohring was much less OTT for me, that's for sure.
Re: this week's BBCA episode of Torchwood: I enjoyed the emotional journey and follow through of Jack a LOT, but the actual plot was a bit... huh???... not so logical. Was fine enough to sustain what was going on character-wise, though, so I still liked the ep.
I don't understand why the fairies trashed Gwen's flat. Not even a little bit. Was there something in the original version that was cut in the BBCA version?
Also, we went out to dinner last night at Dali, a romantic tapas place in Somerville, and the host sprinkled red rose petals on our table and we were all, ummmmm, ok, we watch too much TV 'cause this is freaky!
Also also, one thing I'm really seeing here is how the Torchwood crew are really connected to the issues they are dealing with, in opposition to the Doctor, who will gravely pronounce how very sorry he is and then back to the TARDIS and byyyyeeee! I love the Doctor, and I am oversimplifying of course, but it's interesting how different the consequences have been especially these past couple of episodes. Ianto and Lisa last week and Jack and his lover this week.
I'm finally catching up in Torchwood and I'm just blown away by Captain Jack. Much moreso than I was by the character in Doctor Who.

No, apparently the cuts this week were very minor.
This isn't my favorite episode, though I like the creepiness and the fact that they went all the way and let the fairies take the girl.
