Gunn ,'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 he has the job because he's still alive, but I also do think that his team trusts him to do his job well.
I also think that if him knowing more about alien life than anyone else translates into any advantage, wouldn't it improve his ability to do his job well? If not, then who cares?
I don't know, it seemed to be mostly a case of identifying what was invading this week, making ill-advised decisions that turn out badly, and then some member of his team figuring out what to do based on info he'd dropped.
Since The Sarah Jane Adventures S2 has not yet hit American shores, I will use white font, except to say it got a lot better by the end of the first season, and grew better in season 2.
That having been said, I must now shout in whitefont about the season finale: The Brigadier!!!!
When does Sarah Jane S2 reach? I think I can wait for that, eagerly.
I'm starting to think maybe I don't want to watch TW at all, despite the hotness.
Up to you, but I think it well worth watching, and not just for the hotness. Mixed but some really great characterizations. Also as to day saving. Day is not always saved (see faeries) and when the day is saved, it seems quite often with unnecessary deaths and brutality. Routinely day late, and dollar short. And yet that is part of the charm. Not the A team in space. Highly flawed human institutions and highly flawed people doing the best they can.
I must now shout in whitefont about the season finale:
!!! runs off to ahem...
When ARE we getting Sarah Jane again?
I think Siffy bought the USAian rights.
Oh another point. Sarah Jane seems to save the day more often than Torchwood, more successfully and with fewer (though not zero) avoidable casualties. So in spite of hsi background Captain Jack is NOT the best one for the job.
I get the feeling that if Sarah Jane was Captain Jack's boss professionally, things would have worked out better. (Not artistically, very different series, but in terms of day saving. Umm and maybe in other ways too. In sum if the series were merged a lot imaginary people would be alive, two imaginary people would be happier, but the real people in the audience would have been totally miserable.)
