I'm presuming that everything Sheppard learned from Rodney goes into his debriefing -- it isn't like he had instant amnesia or anything. Even if it might be a touch awkward to learn that you had a love affair in the alternate future with somebody you just met, learning that you might be able to avoid a fatal (and PREVENTABLE) disease would be really useful information....
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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.

Torchwood: Hmmm, I think that the Winchester boys need to take a trip to Cardiff to cleanse the Hub.

Just got to the halfway point of tonight's Torchwood, and, you know, this Burn Gorman fella's a pretty good actor.

So, I was thinking how this latest episode reminded me a bit of Killed by Death at the end, when I realized that the Torchwood crew doesn't really know what they are up against - Cardiff is built on Hellmouth, isn't it? They just have weevils instead of vamps as the dominant scary thing population.
Which only makes me SO want a Buffy/Torchwood x-over that will never happen.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The rift is sort of the opposite of a hellmouth... can you imagine a place with BOTH?
Like, I dunno... Dayton?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Unimpressed by SGA. It was a nice try, but...meh.
And if that's the last we get of SCC (as I sadly suspect it will be), I will be PISSED with a capital PISSED.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I just caught up with SCC. Man, I actually really like that show.
It's totally doomed.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
So, just finished watching Pushing Daisies on DVD and lovelovelove this show. Anyone fill me in on its present status? Is Season One over? Do we expect more episodes to happen? Ever?

It's supposed to return in the fall, Fay. It actually got pretty good ratings for something so deeply offbeat.
Are the signs really that bad for SCC? I thought I read it was re-upped.

SCC is on Fox, which has such a long history of making stupid decisions about genre shows that the wisest fan policy is hope as little as possible to reduce the inevitable disappointments.
Yes, Fay, PD actually got renewed before the strike, but because of the trouble with rounding up the principal actors at this late date (i.e. Kristen Chenoweth singing and dancing at the Oscars, and a number of others have side projects scheduled for their 'off season') they'll work on a full season for next year. Which is frustrating because I'm in love with the show THIS MUCH but I'd rather they get enough time to put together proper scripts and SFX instead of having to rush things through and lessen the final product.
