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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
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.
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.
He was - I think that the whole being brought back from the dead has changed something essential in Jack.
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.
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.

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