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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
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?
Just watched Tomorrow is Yesterday, and let's just say that SCC has perfectly tidy time travel premises compared to this episode of Trek.
Just no sense at all. They accidentally slingshot back in time and expose a number of Earthlings to them, as well as transport a couple up to the ship. They work out they have to return them, and that they can get back to their future by performing another slingshot.
As they go towards the sun they travel back in time, and as they pull away in time they start going forwards. When they reach the time they'd grabbed the first guy (and squooshed his plane in their tractor beam--oops) they put him back in his plane, and when they get to the bit where they'd yanked the second guy--well, there's no longer that bit, is there? The first guy is never yanked, the Enterprise hasn't been seen, so no one goes down to get the records back, and no one is caught doing it. But we're shown the soldier on patrol in the corridors hearing a sound being transported back down over himself, and then all is well as they travel back into their future.
Also, they listen to the radio transmissions about themselves as they're slingshotting into the future, which shouldn't be possible unless they're not actually time travelling right then.
Unholy.
Wait, ita...are you saying Star Trek time-travel is sloppy?!
HERETIC!!
No, you're absolutely right. Just about every time they go back in time they "fix" it, but it just...there's all these gaps that never...urgh.
One of my favorite Trek time-travel moments, though, happens in DS:9's "Trial and Tribble-ations". The whole episode was fun, but my favorite bit is at the beginning of the ep when the Starfleet time cops are interviewing Sisko and Kirk gets mentioned. And their response is one of disgust: "Oh, KIRK. Guy's a menace. We got files and files on that guy. What a fucker."
Not, you know, verbatim, but that was the gist.
"Trial and Tribble-ations"
Why do the Klingons look like that?
It is a long story.
I love the bit where Worf doesn't want to talk about the old-timey Klingons.
