Reputation: Reputation Power: 4   | I've only watched the first few episodes, but it didn't really grab me. However, I have been told that it does get much better after that, so I'll have to give it another chance when it reached our screens. | ||

Funny, but after Torchwood I have decided I like Captain Jack. A lot of people refuse to watch it because the show is blantantly bisexual, which I personally think is stupid and limiting... but yeah. There is actually a lot of really adult things in what at first glance seems like a kids show. This is apparently because of the [9pm] watershed, the producers went to town with that. I think it balances out better as it goes. There is a scene with an exploding rat which I suppose was fun to make, but which is really unnecessary. I think if you liked Mulder and Scully, then this will work for you (minus the first few episodes). I rate it 3 out of 5. Worth watching, but its ok if you don't see it. However if you're like me and you desperately need SF tv, then go for it | ||

Really can't wait for them to show it here...oh and... isn't it set for a sat 7.30 timeslot? does that mean mcdermott is going into offseason? why can't i have both!!!!

Reputation: Reputation Power: 9 | Don't say no spoilers and then post a spoiler.  I don't know when S3 is coming on here but Sideshow might only be running for a short number of episodes for its first run and maybe get picked up for more later if ratings justify it. | ||

GM the spoiler that was posted is actually already posted earlier in the thread. It's the same thing I just forgot that it was already here. | |||
