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 liked John calling his mom on her creepy watching.
I hope a lot of the things that I found illogical or off or awkward were symptoms of pilotitus, and not the general quality to be expected from subsequent eps.
I did like the fiance and hope he really is a recurring character. But his going to the police felt like one of those pilot contrivances to get the plot moving along. He's not a dumb guy, and I'd think that if his girl ran off on him, he'd hire a PI, not go to the police where he has no case, or the sense to make it seem like he had a case. GF up and dumps your ass? Cops are not the next step in a any universe, unless you pretend you didn't notice the missing clothing and toiletries.
Unless they want us to believe he's obsessive and crazy, which I don't think is the case since they made a point to say twice or thrice over that John dug the guy.
I do like killer robots wreaking havoc, though.
Don't we all... especially when they look like Summer Glau.
I just have to share this TWoP post in response to a question about why Owain Yeoman paused before shooting John Connor (the real reason being he needed to be hit by Cameron in a truck).
GF and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Really good cast (Summer Glau was great), cool effects, and nicely tied in to the movies. We're looking forward to tonight!
Oh damn -- I thought it premiered tonight! (But hadn't gotten around to setting the TiVo up or anything.) I suppose I will have to acquire by less than official means....
nicely tied in to the movies
Heh. In that it's a big Fuck You to T3. Which, you know, I got no problem with!
I thought it started off weakly, with the dream sequence, but got better and better, and by the plot twist at the end, I was definitely interested.
Summer Glau's easily the best thing about it. Let's have her kicking ass on a regular basis, please.
T3 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
The sheriff who picked up the FBI guy at the airport?
Was played by Nick Wechsler who played Kyle Valenti (the sheriff's son) on
Roswell.
Nice to see him again.
I've only seen Dean Winter's playing Denis Leary's cop brother on
Rescue Me.
(Where he is much missed.)
And I really enjoyed Terminator and can't wait for tonight's episode.
BBCA is going to air a marathon of "essential" Torchwood episodes next Sunday. It will be interesting to see which episodes they consider "essential."
(Also - that's just two days prior to the release of the dvds.)
