Ha!
This doublepointed needle knitting in the round thing is so damn cool. Try it - it's totally excellent.
Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.

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.

That sounds HARD, dude. Also, pats self on back, I figured out how to cut and paste using a Mac just right then. Awesome.
Oh, so tired. To bed.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I expected Owen to kick it (and for real), but Tosh? Damn. That just seriously depressed me.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Scifi is going to air the second half of each SJA at 7 pm Central and the first half of the new story at 7:30 so that each week ends on a cliffhanger.
Really? I thought that they were showing reruns at 7c and new episodes at 7:30c. But The Futon Critic agrees with you.

I thought what you thought but I was given the news by somebody over on TWOP and confirmed it at Scifi's website.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I was gutted by their deaths, sumi, so my only conclusion is that you have no heart...
ita is me. Only, you know, cooler. I thought Owen went out well, but Tosh ... Tosh broke me. I really didn't expect them to take out two real characters at once.
Next season: Can't help but wonder if Martha Jones will return to Torchwood -- in retrospect, her appearances this season had the feel of a screen test. I'd imagine they'd want at least one completely new character to take over as an "entry point" now that Gwen's well-acclimated to the organization.

You mean, because the production of Doctor Who is taking a break for a year?

I thought they were doing specials? I'm totally out of the loop. They seem hell bent to keep Freema Agyeman working though, don't they?

'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"
I would be totally down with Martha joining the cast, if they went that way -- I'm sorry to hear that she won't be back for this season of Who.
The double death just broke me. In retrospect, I think that Owen's felt a bit manufactured, in that they had to maneuver his character into one of the few places where he could be finally K I L L E D.
(Unfortunately, my understanding is that radiation doesn't work that way -- it would be more like being microwaved, wouldn't it?)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
...not having watched the Highlander TV show, I get the impression that in terms of quality and slashy dynamic, it and Moonlight are perhaps cut from the same cloth?
Er, I'm not exactly unbiased about the quality of Highlander but I would put the tv show above all but the first movie, and certainly above Moonlight. Possibly not far above, and often the plots did not rise above Monster Immortal Of The Week, but there were tons of eye candy dressed in marvelous period costume to make up for it in variety. Hmm, it occurs to me that my ability to make this assessment in this company is likely to be hindered by the fact that I watched Highlander and loved it long before I saw Buffy, which has certainly raised my expectations. I would put the best of Highlander above the lesser episodes of Star Trek: Voyager and yet it did not reach quite as high as Voyager could.
As for Sophia Myles' American accent, she's good enough that it took me a couple minutes to place her. Don't think she hits it as brilliantly as Hugh Laurie's House, but certainly less cringeworthy than the "Americans" on Doctor Who barring Captain Jack, of course.
