Was that Jack in the past with Livia?
Ok, maybe not.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So what was the point of tying Tin Man to Oz? I get that she's not the first Dorothy Gale (but it took until the reveal of the tomb for me to realise it), so all that may still very well be canon and untouched, but still--why do it? Why shoehorn Tutor into Toto and the flying monkeys into her sister's tits?

Here's my bullshit rationalization: SciFi saw how cool re-imagining Battlestar Galactica turned out, so it is now green-lighting anything that is "re-imagined".
And the results vary

They should have just had a Tinman/Glitch buddy mini-series, the flaky effeminate one and the overly butch closed-off guy bickering at each other for six hours while slowly falling in love.

As long as it stars Neal McDonnagh and Alan Cummings! That would rock!
Journeyman went to where I wasn't expecting again. I like that about it.

from a review over on IMDB:
More than one generation has grown up on The Wizard of Oz and its variations, from the original book to the modern musical, Wicked. Tin Man is a different take than any I've seen before, but by no means does that make it bad. Fans of Joss Whedon's Firefly will probably enjoy thisThe hell?

Art Crawl!!!
Okay, I'm glad that I'm not alone in thinking that Henry's profile greatly resemble's Jack's.
Is it possible - timewise that Livia could be Dan's grandmother? And just how weird is THAT???

No, I don't think this show would go there. I can think of other shows we've watched that might, or have.
But, not this show. I hope.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I don't trust the girlfriend. I think she's in cahoots with the physicist.
