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.
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.

I hope that there wasn't a weeping angel in the vicinity.
(SPN watchers: did you guys notice that one o f the clips they used in the Previouslies last week had Sam from Houses of the Holy with a weeping angel in the background - newly extra creepy!)

In our TV world, rose petals are rarely a good thing.
I hope that there wasn't a weeping angel in the vicinity.
Or one saying "Are you my mummy?"
One of the repair guys that we use is British and a Dr Who fan, he said one of his kids can do a spot on imitation of "Are you my mummy?" and will say it just to freak him ( the dad) out.
Do they randomly call him at work and do that?
Also, the next episode of
Blood Ties
is available for free at Yahoo tv and on itunes.
ETA: And the BSG minisode is up at Sciffy.

For an extra special thrill, doesn't it start shaking when he turns his head away?
