'Out Of Gas'


Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

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.

Is there any word on whether they plan on a second season?

I'm guessing they are. But I believe Philip Glenister has said that's it for Gene Hunt after that.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Torchwood is shown during CBBC now (Children's BBC), so about 5pm during cartoons and such. They edit it down slightly, but obviously that would be slightly more complicated if Jack had his cock out all the time.

That end bit was a rubbish joke by the way - I do get what you're saying, Liese.

Russell T. Davis wrote Queer As Folk, what, a decade or so ago -- probably more, thinking about it -- which featured teenagers giving blowjobs to each other, anal action, that sort of thing. He's a geninuely lovely guy (and also, oddly giant like) and continues to push his 'gay agenda', as people in the fandom love saying. They're usually saying that whilst destroying the man online, though.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Perhaps Barrowman doesn't care for baring all at this point in his career?

(Feel free to correct me on this -- I'm sure he'd doff stuff at one point, but now that he's getting older? Though he looks in splendid shape with his clothes on, IMHO.)

Torchwood is shown during CBBC now (Children's BBC), so about 5pm during cartoons and such.

So the rumor that it'll become a genuine family show starting with series 3 might be true?

I've honestly no idea. It runs during family programming right now anyway. British people tend to lean towards the liberal, I think.

I've met people who work on it - I can't see it them changing it for anybody. That said I don't know if the creative team will be the same next year due to the whole Who shutdown thing.

You mean the comment about "doing Ianto" while Gwen is gone?

Hah, no, I mean what I wrote about Jack walking around with his cock out.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Just the fact that they show them occasionally kissing is enough better than most shows that I'm pretty happy with it. I feel more starved for those sort of displays of affection than for actual love scenes.

Which is why I liked the dancing scene. For the intimacy. There's also the comments that make clear that Jack and Ianto have a sex life together. Which you don't find so much of on TV.

There are plenty of places to find male-male sex scenes. As long as you don't limit yourself to what' aired on TV.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

OK, all questions of how much gay we show aside, Rhys is now my fucking hero. And I loved Jack's "Evil Dead" comment to him (and the bit about him having a good swing). I'm not sure what to think about the whole Retcon thing - it does seem a gross violation. However, given how they played Owen's alien roofie's (sp?) for laughs...
