'Out Of Gas'
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.
It can't be that hard to skew closely to them.
Yeah. The big change appears to be the moving of T2. If they'd stayed with the 1995 date and John at 10, they could have given them several more years of peace, say, 5, bringing them to 2000, then have the time-jump to 2008.
Maybe they felt that five years of peace was too many? Or was it that they'd have passed the original date of Judgment Day and Sarah would have assumed all the risks were over?
But I was surprised when memfault mentioned that people got cranky about the menstrual crank disparity with Buffy continuity.
I always felt that was better "joke in a film" than "continuing plot point in a series" so I was pretty comfortable with its forgetting.
Someone noted on another board I was reading that they even added a couple shots of Adam to the credits
(Actually, I mentioned it in this very thread, but nevermind....)
Goodness, I had completely forgotten about 'Superstar' till you guys mentioned it, but yes, of course.

Whoops, I missed that. Was it a white-fonted post? That may be why I did.
eta I saw it on Salon, where I still lurk.
I have some thoughts on "Adam" that I'm happy to discuss... ok, so what did Captain Spike say to Jack as he was going into the rift? "I know where Grey is"? I'm wondering if since Jack had to burn the happiest day of his life out of his memory to get rid of Adam, if that means that all memories of Grey and his dad are gone?
Re: Rhys seeing Adam. That could be something that brings Adam back at some point, or since Adam didn't touch Rhys and physically insert himself into his memories, that doesn't count?
And OMG, Ianto. His scenes with Adam and Jack were terrifying.
Re: Ianto's move from butler dude to full on team member in charge of Teh Snark, I wonder how much of that had to do with Lisa? When hiding something like that, I'd think it would be best to fade into the background as much as possible, and once it's gone, once that reason for living was taken from him, he had nothing else to do and nowhere else to go except Jack and Torchwood (respectively).

I think it was also the case that Jack (and the others) realized how they'd been treating him. Ianto said some pretty cutting things in "Cyberwoman" about how he was just expected to clean up everyone's shit and not ask questions, and that no one had ever asked him anything about his life.

Ah, yes. I had been pretty well distracted by Cyberwoman fighting a flying dinosaur (and clawing out my eyes at the Gwen/Owen kiss) that I had forgotten several key points. Also, that was just before I fell in lurve with Ianto, so I was not yet hanging on his every word and nuance.
I think that Capt. John said something like, "I"ve seen Grey."
Terry Goodkind talks about the tv version of Wizard's First Rule.
Sigh. I started going through my new Blade: the Series DVDs last night, and sadly none of the extra added nudity is on the part of Kavan Smith's character.
I thought it was "By the way, I found Grey". (side note: they seem to swallow that "G" a lot. At first, I though that his name was Ray, as I originally did when Capt. John said it)
I think that Rhys will remember Adam because they are actual memories, not artificially created ones. It will likely never come up because Gwen will go home and pretend that nothing is wrong, and when Rhys says something about her forgetting him, she won't say anything because it's consistent with losing the two days.
I am annoyed with Jack for being so stupid as to allow Adam to play in his mind even though they both knew that he was about to kill him. But, I think that the memories are still there, since he took the amnesia pill. Adam didn't take the memories themselves, he took the memory of them (if that makes sense).
I did notice Adam in the credits, thought who the hell is that?
