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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

No Torchwood talk? All I can say is, Owen's still nasty, but exponentially less so this episode some how. And, poor Tosh - she just doesn't get a break.

Also, and sorry for this, but look-s, voice- and, worst of all, teeth-wise, Jack is starting to look scarily like Tom Cruise to me (with perhaps a bit of Mark Harmon thrown in). Colo(u)r me disturbed.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

This was Tosh's episode and it was facinating. The silliness of Owen & Gwen's thoughts were starkly contrasted with the torture that Ianto feels all the time, every minute...wow.

Also, Tosh couldn't hear Jack until he deliberately wanted her to. Is Jack, or was Jack human to begin with? I'm just now watching the first season of Who via netflix and only really saw the last of Eccleston's reign.

Art Crawl!!!

He was - I think that the whole being brought back from the dead has changed something essential in Jack.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It's possible that a Time Agent with a long history of dealing with (often telepathic) aliens and running cons might have mental defenses that normal 21st century people wouldn't. I'm not entirely convinced his lack of projected thoughts is a result of being resurrected.

I am convinced it's because Russel T. Davies has seen "Earshot," though.

Oh, this was absolutely a problem for me the first two eps that Capt. Jack appeared on Who. Especially because he was in uniform, so it reminded me of... oh, what's it called. The "You can't handle the truth!" movie. A Few Good Men? Anyway, yeah, I feel your pain. It went away for me, though.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Cruise looks scrawny in my head when standing next to Barrowman. Maybe it's the great coat. Barrowman takes me to a nice, beefed-up Cary Grant kinda place.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Barrowman takes me to a nice, beefed-up Cary Grant kinda place.

Oh gods yes! A lot smoother. His easy sexuality with men and women just melt me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I think I might have to rant about this episode, but I dunno if I will or not. For some reason, the first round, I didn't identify with Toshiko at all. Not a whit. But this round, I'm overidentifying, and it's driving me batty.

I think I have something to say regarding casual racism and sexuality, but I think it may be too close to my chest for me to be able to articulate.

he came back wrong?

I was annoyed with how easily Toshiko was manipulated into talking about her work and especially the bit about Jack keeping things from her.
