a lot less whimpering
I would have enjoyed this.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

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.

It's hard to imagine more whimpering.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Also, Jewel's character on SGA is very unlikeable. More so in this last episode. I was almost hoping Teyla would go off and leave her on the bridge.
They're lucky they have Jewel Staite, because I was about 90% sympathetic and only 10% annoyed. Much in the way they're lucky they have Hewlett to pull off their exposition in most episodes.
Torchwood-wise, I love "Out of Time". There's no monster. There's just this group of people, coping or failing to cope in their different ways. And the interactions between the out-of-timers and each of the Torchwood team, especially Gwen, Jack, and Owen, are really great, and so in character.
When I rewatched this episode, the bits with Jack and the 50-something guy just ripped my heart out. I almost couldn't watch. That scene with his son, who has Alzheimer's....god.
Plus, one of my favorite Ianto scenes. t points to tagline

They did excellent casting with their guest actors this episode.

Torchwood seems to be finding its legs with the last few episodes. If this keeps up for the remaining three (I think they said), than I have pretty high hopes for season 2.
To expand - they seem to have gotten past "we're the NAUGHTY show" (though some of that still remains) and gone to a "we can explore THIS" area.

Oh, oh, I remembered another part of this episode I love. Owen's whole speech about being scared, and Diane just looks at him and says, "I love you too."

It's weird. Conceptually, I would have thought Jack would be all over Diane since she was so obviously the free spirit of the three. I liked how it ended up so much better though. The suicide scenes were hard to watch, and I got the feeling Jack really wanted to be going too.

I got the feeling Jack really wanted to be going too.
Oh, yeah, totally.
Really enjoyed the episode. I could have done less with Owen's sex face, but, whatever, what can ya do. I did actually feel a little bad for him at the end (I know!!) because that really just sucks- "yeah... I think I'd rather die or, you know, be ANYWHERE but here with you. So... see ya!"
Also: re the "smoking kills" warning on the cigs- "What does this mean?!?" Hee!
Looks like more trouble is on the horizon for Gwen and Rhys. Poor Gwen. I just don't think she knew what she was in for, and by the time she did, it was too late.
