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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Yes, however, I have a bad feeling that he's playing the XO of the Pegasus.

(You may also see if Sciffy is going to rerun any of Andromeda - he was in quite a few of those.)

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I feel like I'm back in high school with a new crush. I just looked up Andromeda and it seems there are 45 episodes with him. And in Razor he will be Colonel Jurgen Belzen. Jurgen Belzen? Isn't that the opening lyrics of "Rock of Ages"? Jurgen Belzen glauchen globen.

Okay, I refuse to be boy crazy anymore tonight. Off to watch Smallville.

I tried watching "The Wraiths of Roanoke" but was so painfully bored.

Thrive to spite them

This Torchwood episode is a lot like the Supernatural episode, I've seen this episode before, so I kept getting confused and waiting for a certain character to show up , only to realise I was thinking of SPN.

Very creepy Torchwood. I can only guess that for those who said this episode was the breaking point for them (as in not wanting to watch the show) it must have been the Gwen/Owen finish. What surprised me most was that Jack left all the townspeople alive when he shot them up. When the shooting started, I expected a roomfull of dead cannibals.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I liked Countrycide, although I agree that it was hard not to compare it to the SPN episode, a little.

I did boggle at the confidence Jack seemed to have in the competence of Toshiko and Ianto being able to handle themselves against Unknown Monsters, because frankly both of them strike me as less than wonderful combatants.

And the Gwen/Owen finale - well, yes, it does make me wince, because I like her boyfriend so. But I don't think it's implausible, so I'm good with that - in fact I do continue to like the fact that all the characters are so flawed and prone to fuckuppery, rather than Making The Right Choice and Doing The Right Thing.

I know - I really liked Gwen with Rhys - but she seemed so ill prepared to be in a position with that level of secretness. Probably because she had zero training in that sort of thing - that it really compromised the relationship with Rhys.

I don't rewatch the Bender either.

Not having seen Torchwood, but having seen Jack on Dr. Who - could this be "learn by doing"?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm prepared to hum really loudly and pretend that Tosh and Ianto were just having an off day. After all, they've been with (AKA 'survived') Torchwood for a long while before Gwen came along.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Thanks for the SGA recap!

I think that all shows on Sciffy post the first showing of Flash Gordon are running a little long because of the Razor flashbacks.
