Damn you for making me care about Owen! DAMN YOU!!!!
That seems to be a recurring theme of the season. I've heard that same plaintive cry from a lot of people.
Martha, as always, made from PURE AWESOME.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

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.

Well a good portion of it is that Burn fucking rocks the house. Granted, I thought he did last season as well, but this season they've written Owen as significantly less of a douchebag.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't have anything wordful to say about Martha Jones really.
It does occur to me, though, that I'd be much less interested in seeing Rose in Cardiff.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm totally willing to believe that they told GDL that the cup in front of his character was going to blow up, rather than the stuff BEHIND him -- either that or he really rocks acting STARTLED.
I'm totally in denial over Owen.

In retrospect, this has been a BAD-SAD WEEK for doctors in SF shows, hasn't it?

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, and yet they have left enough of it to not make an unbelievable turn around and change in character.

Agreed. Though I wouldn't mind seeing Rose back on Doctor Who.
Err - so to speak.

He's SO CUTE. He looked like a frowny emoticon.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I really enjoyed Martha, and her interactions with Owen, and even Gwen, but in the scenes with Jack, much strain and forced joviality was brought out of Jack. Do you think it was a character choice that Jack got all loud and uber-happy and LingOL (TM someone awesome), or did John Barrowman get confused about how his character acts differently on DW and seeing Martha on TW threw him off?

Actual proof that one of the John Sheppard action figures comes with a ZPM and a lemon:
