Spike ,'Help'
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.
I think there's a fatal flaw in that line of reasoning, which is that Tommy didn't live linearly. That Tommy-after-he-went-back always had memories of Torchwood.
But he didn't remember. He didn't remember what to do with the key thingy and he didn't know who Tosh was.
Which was weird, since (after what Jack said) I was expecting Past Torchwood to DO something to his memories -- instead, they seemed to just get replaced automatically once he stepped through the barrier.
She left him thinking he'd die in battle. Did he try to avoid that?
perhaps that's what caused the court marshal. He thought that he was going to die in battle, so he tried to avoid it, and got dinged for cowardice.
But he didn't remember. He didn't remember what to do with the key thingy and he didn't know who Tosh was.
Jack said something about losing his short term memory in the rift.
instead, they seemed to just get replaced automatically once he stepped through the barrier.
Maybe because he was in the right time, and he had technically never lived through the 20th century?
Ow. That makes my head hurt. Especially since the real reason is probably "He forgot because we needed him to."
Jack's line about the British soldiers who were shot for cowardice is really painful, though.
Today ABC Entertainment announced pickups for nine of its most popular shows, returning broadcast television's most successful fall series. ABC Entertainment ordered episodes of "Brothers & Sisters," "Desperate Housewives," "Dirty Sexy Money," "Grey's Anatomy," "Lost," "Private Practice," "Pushing Daisies," "Samantha Who?" and "Ugly Betty."
Whew, that takes care of two of my three appointment network TV shows.
I momentarily had thoughts about the weird quasi-religious parallels in SCC. Something somewhat blasphemous about the protectiveness of both Marys to Jesus and how that sort of parallels Sarah and Cameron to John-as-prophet. But it probably breaks down horribly, because I never get very far with these sorts of things and my biblical knowledge is crap. Plus, killing. Lots of it. And robots. And time travel.
Oh well, it sounded interesting when I started.
I wonder how good Cameron is at chess. Maybe she'll help the Japanese team.
SCC - I haven't a clue what ex-boyfriend's take on the visit from John might be. Hope we find out more there.
I didn't like Andy much anyway....
