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.
If they can let up on the emo (and I speak mostly of this new character of Sarah) and the voiceover, I may just keep this show. There's still too much handwringing and the mother-son dynamic is still hitting awkward beats. It's not like she hadn't seen her son for three years because she
just
got out of a mental institution.
Speaking of emo, John's strong desire for a father coupled with his violent reaction said father figure reached epicly psychotic and WTF?! proportions. And yet, I kinda got it. I think I can understand it from him more, cuz he's still a boy, but both of them should be a lot tougher than this. "Mommy, make the mean robots stop coming after me!" Seriously? That's how they propelled the thrust of the show?
ETA that's how I was wanking the have and lack of social skills. The highschool persona was just for that one mission in that school. That situation is gone, so is the persona.
But I don't think that explains moments like at the end of the pilot where she's all coy and munching on potato chips.
Ratings from PI Feedback:
In time period-premiere news, Fox drama Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles got off to a positive start, with 10.07 million viewers (#2) and a 4.3/10 among adults 18-49 (#2) from 9-10 p.m. While this may pale in comparison to its preview just one day earlier (Viewers: 18.36 million; A18-49: 7.7/18 on Jan. 13 out of the Giants/Cowboys NFL match-up), it did build from lead-in Prison Break (Viewers: #4, 7.89 million; A18-49: #2, 3.4/ 8 at 8 p.m.) by 2.18 million viewers and 26 percent among adults 18-49.
Still looking pretty good. The drop-off was expected.

Between that, the bangs, and his last name I felt like I was having a traumatic flashback to Angel season 3.
Just to flash back to rerun-riffic SG1 again, could someone reassure me of something? After Jacob Carter becomes a Tok'ra, Sam does NOT say something along the lines of, "So you're a top now, Dad?" right?
Dr Who puppets. Made by Peter David's wife.
Stupid Torchwood is up against Project Catwalk. Oh well. In thirty seconds I'll be half-watching Torchwood.
Ahem.
Neener.
Why only half?
All the previews look excellent.
Jars sucks! Pass it on.
If it's airing now, then maybe torrents will be up by late tonight.

Ooh, there's a
blowfish.
And
driving very fast. Jack isn't back yet...
Oh, and half because I'll be flicking back and forth to Project Catwalk.
Psst! Jars is a meaniehead teaserino!
Oh, this will be a weird transAtlantic delay. It'll be confusing because we'll be talking about it at the same time, but at different parts of the same season.
