Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Unless I'm reading you wrong, I think you mean non- nonplussed?

Hee. Yes. Plussed, I guess.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Jose Chung! (I was scratching my head, trying to remember where I've heard the expression non-nonplussed.)

Torchwood 2.08:This was a pretty good episode. I loved the scene with Tosh and Owen in Owen's apartment. Martha didn't have a lot to do but she was still completely awesome, and the Martha/Jack kiss was great. So, is Owen going to be dead/undead for the rest of the series?

I'm with everyone on the Burn Gorman love, but I still really don't care for the character. Is it possible that the writers are trying to portray Owen as badass, but only the ass is showing?

heh. I think that they are trying to make him complex, more protagonist than hero. He has redeeming qualities, just none of them are personality based.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

SCC lost another million viewers. Shitty hell. I'm starting to enjoy it, too!

So... is anybody still watching "Ashes to Ashes"?

Yesterday's episode was easily the best yet, and I have the feeling they're finally hitting their stride. Now I'm back in the "Life on Mars" groove, wondering what they're going to do next, and how. Keeley Hawes has stopped annoying me, and there's finally some GENUINE chemistry between Alex and Gene.

I like.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Huzzah! Today I picked up: Season 2 of Dexter, Season 2.1 of Ugly Betty, Season 2.1 (I guess?) of Heroes and Season 1.1 of Pushing Daisies.

I can haz DVDs!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

does Ashes to Ashes get better after the first ep? because i was pretty bored and while i think Gene can be funny, i'm not as sold on him as a lot of people in fandom seemed to be. mostly it made me miss Sam.

so with that in mind, should i bother ahemming the rest of the eps?

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

I'm watching it, Fiona. Not quite feeling the love. I suppose some of the things I dislike are required in a post LoM show, but it still itches. The balance between her belief that it's a hallucination and the reality of the whole thing isn't working for me. And maybe they don't have two seasons the way LoM did, but there's too much of her family in there.

I agree with you on the chemistry with Gene, but I'm not yet decided on how I'll react if her knickers come off. Right now I want them on.
