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 must be the odd-one-out here because last night's Torchwood didn't do much for me.
I wish they had
tried to separate JM's character from Spike just a tiny little bit. Instead, they seemed to be trying to make him as Spike-like as possible. The accent, the super-strength, the references to liking blondes... all that was missing was the peroxide. But I really wanted to see him play somebody different.
Ianto
was cute and the stopwatch was cute and there were a few funny bits, but mostly.... ugh, perhaps I just wasn't in the right mood
.
I felt the same way about
JM,
Fiona. It seemed to be intentional, but I would have preferred if they went another direction there.
eta: the previews showed more
JM, so I hope they let the character develop into John and not Spike.
I thought there a couple of shoutouts to
Spike, but otherwise found the character to be distinctive.
I really enjoyed it, which is saying a lot since I couldn't bring myself to stick with the first season, despite having read all the discussions here for doing just that. Could. Not. Watch.
Torchwood: I hate
JM's normal accent,
so I was kinda relieved they decided not to go with it. But I didn't feel that
Captain John was that Spikey otherwise.
I enjoyed the ep. Had a good balance of snogging and fighting.
My assumption, based on the proportions in that shot at the end, is that
Graham or whoever is a kid--perhaps Jack's son? Little brother?
insent tiggy.
Had a good balance of snogging and fighting.
This alone makes me wanna watch. Okay, I wanted to already, but this is an outstanding review line.
I just caught up in the thread and although I do like the SCC, I am in the camp thinking the true Sarah Conner would have asked Cameron to wait until John got back to stitch her wound. She would have dealt with some blood loss just so John could learn some field medic technique. Overall, I am happy with it though.
Oh, and from way back in the thread, I will blame DW Blinkfor the rest of my life for the second glances I give statuary.
Ooh, TW2.1 is up on you tube.
So, there's no real way to watch this Torchwood without torrenting? I'm curious about all the buzz but I just don't have the time these days for torrenting and then getting crap.
It'll be airing on BBCA in a couple of weeks.
Hmm - sounds like a channel we don't get but I guess it's not really a great time for me to be picking up new shows...
eta: and I see I can get the 1st season from netflix so maybe I'll go that route.
Hello - am I invisible - it's up on YOUTUBE. (Link above.)
