I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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.

Thrive to spite them

SGA is actually in HD tonight for the repeat of Quarntine.

Maybe the new one will be as well.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I turned to BBCA to see what time Torchwood is on tonight (9:00 est), and they're airing Doomsday. I decided I was not up to watching the last 10 minutes. I may flip back to watch the top of S3, which is on next.

OK, the Sergio Leone setup/snog/smashup to Song #2 was frelling hilarous. Liking JM in this. His voice is close, but not quite, Spike, and the look is different. The attitude - not so sure yet - I think some actual verbal interaction is needed.

Jack: This is the entrance for tourists.

John: I remember that last (first?) time you said that to me.

Either way: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

I rather liked "I worked my way up through the ranks."

"I'm sure the ranks were very grateful."

It's hard not to see Spike in Capt. John, but it's definitely not a 100% copy. Very odd though - a show with a British actor playing a charcter who sounds like an American hires an American to play a character who sounds British. Although given that the lack of a truthfullness is in there for both characters, it makes it make a lot of sense (although I doubt they were going for that entirely intentionally).

Barrowman is American. Well, equally as American as he is Scottish, but that's his accent.

Really? It sounded like he was doing a bad American accent when he first appeared on Doctor Who, though I haven't had the same problems with Torchwood.
