The Actor who played the Brigadier is still alive. IJS.
And I haven't seen the Sarah Jane adventures, but doesn't she say "Give my love to The Brig" or some such at some point?
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Oh, man. I just finished watching Out of Time and Combat; my Owen love was complete. Sure he was a wanker, but he was a wanker in pain. We love our brooding, wankerific, in pain anit-heroes!

I love my dead bi wanker in pain.
Hopefully only mostly dead. He can come back as the Dread Pirate Owen.

He's really great in Out of Time. I love the sense that he's completely out of his depth and scared shitless by it. (I have no use for Combat.)

Re SCC time shift
I'm pretty forgiving of a lot of things in movies to TV adaptations. But the Terminator movies are just so legendary that I have issues with tinkering with the dates set in the movies -- which, honestly, cover just what? Four days in Sarah Connor's life? It can't be that hard to skew closely to them.
It can't be that hard to skew closely to them.I think the phrase is "fucking impossible", because the movies weren't consistant with each other T1 supposedly May 1984. yet John is 10 in the 1994 T2, when he should have been 9 (which makes casting a 13 year old to play him even more iffy). T2 "corrects" this by making John 13 in T2 but keeps the 1994 date which should have shoved the events T1 back to 1980, but didn't.
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.Really the only way to explain Eddie Furlong's appearence in T2, and still have a supposedly mid-teens John in SCC was to move the events of T2 to 1997.
And Cameron, what's up with her?* Why will she never give a straight answer to a question?
I have my own theory on that after seeing 3 episodes, but the question is rhetorical really as I'll be going off the grid before US finale induced spoilage.
* Sometimes she doesn't appear quite human, like she was some kind of tin man or something,

The Actor who played the Brigadier is still alive. IJS.
It's be great to see him make a cameo on either DW or Sarah Jane's show. And isn't the guy who played Sgt. Benton still around as well?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Finally watched Torchwood last night. Good ep, I love Martha. Favorite bit was when she tells Owen she has a boyfriend (hopefully the cute doctor boy) and he says "well, he didn't just save your life like I did" and she says "well, actually, yeah"
I liked the interaction with her and the doctor, but the rapid fire dialogue felt a bit rehearsed.
Burn Gorman is a great actor, I've never liked Owen and wasn't even particularly sorry when he died. But, I'd been spoiled by that when I accidentally clicked on some white font here.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
One of my friends works on Who. Outside her place she has a weeping angel statue. DAMN YOU MOFFAT.

Goodness, Anne. What an utterly delicious show.
