Elder ,'Power Play'
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.
I think you should watch it. Note: It has HUGE spoilers, not for anyone who hasn't seen the 5-parter.
It actually gave me better closure. I'm not sure you will feel any better about the mini, but I don't feel as depressed, if that makes any sense. There is a very nice montage for Ianto, for example that I appreciated.
I've decided that it really makes me feel good when creative people are proud of the work they have accomplished, even if I might disagree with the result.
Note: Declassified is 30 minutes.
Dana,

I am reading The Tin Roof Blowdown by James Lee Burke which essentially is a murder mystery set in New Orleans right after Katrina.
If you are interested in such things, I think you'd like the book. It seems to be pretty scathing in general.
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.
I think that it would be funny if each week featured Andy doing some different wacky job in Eureka. Like one week working at Cafe Diem, but getting fired because he refused to serve unhealthy food.
Finally watched Eureka! It was a delight. Agree that a continued Andy presence would be nice. He fit in quite well.
I think we'll be seeing Andy again - I mean, where ELSE is the DOD going to send a prototype like him?
SO HAPPY SHOW IS BACK YAY.
I like Vortex's Andy vision. Whatever he's doing, he's such a perfect addition to Eureka -- want moar!
(Also, have sudden urge to play with Andy/S.A.R.A.H. Sadly, all my bunnies are vidbunnies these days, and vidding a disembodied voice is ... kinda not.)
le nubian -- If Jack had said "we can't use Steven because he's my grandson; let's find a kid who's likely to die soon anyway" he would have been exactly the same as the politicians who exempted their own kids and decided to hand over the low achievers.
I don't think so...
I think there is a difference between using class prejudice and low levels of imagination and problem-solving to deal with a crisis and trying to figure out if it is really appropriate that they use the only child in an entire building who was only there because the government was trying to kill and bribe Captain Jack. If not for the government trying to coerce Jack, his grandson wouldn't have fucking been there in the first place and they would have had to go to a nearby hospital, etc.
Mind you: think this grandson should have been a definite risk, but I don't think he should have been THE one chosen, nor that his mother had to witness his death. The whole thing was completely out of line especially after killing Ianto. I felt the same way about Captain Jack's team's death last season.
BTW, I think that if someone from the government had been frank with the parents of a very ill child, you probably could have gotten a set of parents to agree to this. But of course that wasn't the point the writers wanted to make.
