In a way if Jack being omnisexual is no big deal, that is even a bigger deal.

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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
If they started airing Atlantis on June 20th, they wouldn't have enough episodes to go all the way through November sweeps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You can have the idea of it being no big deal being wasted, or just used for cheap titillation, or you can have it say a great number of things. Right now it's charming and cute and I like it. I'm just not wowed by it.

I've never seen Coupling or Queer as Folk, so I have no basis to judge either of them on, outside the Who-verse (Whoville?).
Both series are excellent, as was Steven Moffat's Jekyll series from last year.
Is Davies going to continue with Torchwood, I wonder?
I really hope so. That show could use more attention from him.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Fringe posters, with snarky commentary.
Put all the clues together and you can't help but come to one shocking conclusion: it's weird to brag about getting the Transformers writers.

More on Eleventh Hour--sounds like a mess and a half.

Oh, and it looks like Katee Sackhoff will be on Nip/Tuck next season: [link] (spoilery for her character interactions, and another guest star).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just watched the preview for [Eleventh Hour] (CBS didn't include a full pilot in their press kit), and yeah, mess is a pretty good word for what I saw. I'm almost tempted to watch it just to answer the question "WTF???" Almost.
The scene with the grapes will find its way online soon, I'm guessing. It's...yeah. I have no idea what the writers/producers were thinking. Or smoking.

Yes, but you're just jaded by having spent too much time on the internets. :)
ION, I caught up on the final episodes of REAPER and damn there's a show that went into a one-trick pony vibe for too long and then blasted out of it in a BIG way. So much set up for next season, and how subversive is it where a show has a gay demon make it to heaven? If that turns out to be a trick by the devil I will hurl things at the television.
I'm afraid the weak link next season is going to be Sock - I don't know how they can gravitas the character up and have him stay Sock, yet I don't think he can stay the same and have the show go where I think it needs to without him become a complete and total annoyance (and he's pushing my personal envelope on that hard - I'm sure for some he's already crossed that line).

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I have to admit that while the idea of Jack Harkness may be groundbreaking, the implementation lacks a bit, especially if you're putting him up in comparison with Buffy. Part of that, I have to say, is the acting.
I don't see (sorry, folks) many people remembering Torchwood in twenty years' time other than for the Jeopardy-level factoid that it had the first bi action hero on it.
