Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.  

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also, in the Cyberwoman episode, didn't they let in that poor pizza delivery girl into their inner sanctum, casual as they please? Or am I misremembering again?

I think Lisa let her in, because the team had fled by that point, after leaving Lisa to be eaten by the pterodactyl.

So, then why does their SUV have "Torchwood" etched on its side?

Because they're badass.

I don't know that they're secret, exactly, because the local police seem to know that they exist. What people probably don't know is exactly what Torchwood's mission is.

Man, I hate it when the evil have my name!

HOWEVER, your namesake also got to get it on with Ianto, once upon a time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

HOWEVER, your namesake also got to get it on with Ianto, once upon a time.

How wrong is it that I'm suddenly considering a name change? To Lisa or Jack, don't much care which....

While you're off filing paperwork, amych, I'll be over here bogarting the tea boy.

I think he is very pretty and has a lovely voice but I don't actually dig him that much. Plus, if I was into him, having a name-copier be the one to get it on with him instead of me would just be a kick in the face.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Also, in the Cyberwoman episode, didn't they let in that poor pizza delivery girl into their inner sanctum, casual as they please? Or am I misremembering again?

And didn't they identify themselves as Torchwood to the pizza place? I think Dana's explanation makes the most sense, though I don't know what the general public knows of their existence.

Oh, another Journeyman question: Livermore - what is the significance?

Thanks - I figured it was something like that.
