Isn't Tahmoh kinda busy? ::googles::
Nevermind. Miniseries, already finished. Also featuring Alan Cumming and Peter Wingfield. Why is IO9 citing 24 for Peter Wingfield? Silly rabbits.
We're deep in space, corner of No and Where.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Peter Wingfield on my television again! Perhaps I shall pretend he is Methos pretending to be Sir Richard Burton. Theodosia, you're not the last to hear about it: I was. Because this is where I heard about it, just now.
God, I hope this is good. Because they could fuck it up so, so badly.

I put a lot of faith in Wolfe, seriously. For instance, he was on the first season of Andromeda, and some of the best seasons of DS9. So fingers crossed.

Agreeing with Consuela's rantage... I have complete faith that SGU will be offensive and unwatchable.
I remember Our Herrick from another series, but I loved Adrian Lester in the BH pilot.

Defying Gravity: Is the European woman's secret that she used to be a man? Is Pukey Paula's that she killed a dog? And two of them don't even get any hallucinations? That seems unfair.

Oh, I thought that too - but why would you see yourself? And did the folks at base seem to be suggesting that some alien is sending the hallucinations?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yes, Beta is sending the hallucinations.
I'm not sure why Beta picks some people and not others because you'd think nearly everyone would have a bad incident or set of interactions that could torment them for life.

le nubian - do we know what Beta is? (I mean, have I missed an explanation?)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
no. that's the frustration I currently have. We know this is an alien being, we do not know what shape it takes. It has been manipulating the space program for years.
Those who know about it do not quite know what it wants, I am not altogether sure why they comply.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I don't think we've actually been shown anything outright stating that Beta is an alien being, though of course that's the natural assumption what with a space-themed show. It could theoretically be a non-human sentient that originated on earth, right?
