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.
Crikey. I'm glad I've spoiled myself, because
Torchwood
sounds thoroughly
depressing. But, yeah - I think, assuming that this is indeed the end of the show, that I'll probably be good with it. In a OHMYGODNOYOUKILLEDIANTOYOUTOTALBASTARDS kind of way. But, y'know, 'Blakes 7' was my first SciFi fandom, and I STILL remember the trauma of how that ended. I was, I dunno, six, or something? And it was like the last scene of fucking Hamlet, with all the people you cared about getting their hearts broken and then killing each other. Jesus fuck.
...so, I think maybe that's how we do SciFi in my country.
is sad
I'm glad I was prepared for Torchwood.
I'm not sure how it relates but it might just be what you are talking about Fay, regarding
the British sensibility. I woke up thinking about The Bridge Over the River Kwai...how fruitless being a hero can be sometimes.
There are other examples I'll probably come up with later. I can see the value of that ethic, in contrast to
the US proclivity for happy-slappy, ass-pully happy endings where no one ever seems to suffer a real consequence but
sheesh. I'd prefer some sort of middle ground.
I kind of wondered if his "soul"-searching would end up with him deciding to do something else in Eureka.
I thought the exact same thing.
Maybe he'll become an electric monk.

Me too. I thought him wanting to have time in his box was like time in his room. I hope we weren't telling the character goodbye. If he is DOD property though, I guess they wouldn't just let him go.

Hah!
Now I must go find my copy of
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
and re-read.
The Guardian has been blogging each one of the Torchwood episodes. Here is their blog for Day 5:

There are a couple of mild Who spoilers in the comments.
Several folks from the Whedonesque board thought TW:CoW was excellent, and the series was rubbish or just meh. I'm decoding that there are two kinds of people: those who loved the series and hated the 5-parter, and the opposite. I've yet to come across anyone who liked both.
I've finally got all the episodes ahemmed, I plan on watching them tomorrow. As long as I don't have to help my daughter move.
