I just saw the Doctor Who series 4 trailer, which they've attached to prints of Jumper in the UK. It looks freakin' great.
Also, a question: what do people like about Torchwood? Any favourite episodes? What doesn't work?
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.
Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.

what do people like about Torchwood?
Drama turned up to 11. Sly humor. Boykissing (and girlkissing).
Any favourite episodes?
"They Keep Killing Suzie," "Out of Time," "Captain Jack Harkness", "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang".
What doesn't work?
Misfires in tone. Questionable character decisions that don't come across as the writers seem to intend them to -- Owen's date-rape in the first episode, Tosh's bouts of doormattishness, Gwen being an ass to Rhys for no good reason. Barrowman overreaching.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Art Crawl!!!
Laura, we just saw episode 2.4 here "Meat".
My dvr tells me we're getting episodes 2.5 and 2.6 this weekend but other dvrs and TV Guide are saying that 2.6 won't air 'til March 1st. . . so probably not 'til March 1st.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Weird juxtaposition of seeing Summer as River a couple of hours ago on Scifi and now as Cameron on fox.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The SO brought home a huge slab of beef that was on sale for nearly nothing at the grocery. It's in my freezer now, making me suspicious. Alien meat!

Our wings are not tired.
Eeep. The alien meat might be more appetizing than the stuff they recalled.
