just seen a trailer with the gorgeous Captain Jack and Gwen. No idea when it will be shown bit I'm so happyyyy. We really thought they'd killed it off with the last series.

Anyone know when it's coming??!!

aitch you talked about ep 8 and then said something about the gay man's fear of the fanny - is that what you meant re ep 9?

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 01/09/2011 23:32

teej - I have gone back some pages too. Aitch said that the final episode is quite brilliant (in a way)

I am no good at cryptic clues Grin

teejwood · 01/09/2011 23:34

ali agree - bill pullman is vile and yet at least with his character there has been some degree of character development, eg trying for redemption in the eyes of the world - even if only to try and save his own hide; trying to have a relationship; thinking he could have this new reality and escape his past...

teejwood · 01/09/2011 23:39

ohhh - not only was prisoner zero in the corner of your eye, it was also prisoner ZERO and here we have category zero people like Oswald Daines.

anyone else starting to think rusty subliminally channelled the Moff's script for Eleventh Hour Wink

They lost me right at the beginning when Jack checked Ratty's eye and we had to have a flashback in case we were too thick to work out the significance.
And I'm really starting to hate Esther.
Love Gwen's mum though! Smile

Ripeberry · 01/09/2011 23:54

Looks like they found a role for John De Lancie 'Q' from 'The Next Generation'.
Captain Jack and Q in the same scene..swoon Grin

AitchTwoOh · 02/09/2011 00:00

oh yes i squeaked 'It's Q!' when i saw him. looove that man, even more with the goatee.

just CANNOT wait for you all to see the final eps. tbh they really should back to back them.

AitchTwoOh · 02/09/2011 00:01

and agree totally re pullman. he and six feet under girl are far and away the best thing in this.

Ripeberry · 02/09/2011 00:04

I met him in person at a convention back in the 90's. Very nice person Smile

AitchTwoOh · 02/09/2011 00:08

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK.

Ripeberry · 02/09/2011 00:13

Grin Grin. All the best conventions are now in the USA now Sad. Can't wait to drag DD1 along to one Blush. Well DH drags me along to his bus/transport rallies, but he won't go to a convention Hmm

AitchTwoOh · 02/09/2011 00:16

i know, it's amazing how important comic con is nowadays, isn't it? kinda cool.
hey i have just remembered who the granddaughter was, she was a klingon on something or other, wasn't she? that has pissed me off for weeks now.

AitchTwoOh · 02/09/2011 00:21

aaaaaaaaaaah. i see. prickly got there ages ago and i missed it. what a stupid name nana visitor is.

HarrietJones · 02/09/2011 10:52

Totally forgot it was on last night would never do that with old torchwood just watched it with dh.

Loved the 'you're the English girl' and jacks reaction!

Nice to see alien tech & something happening but too much I'm not interested in.

Xales · 03/09/2011 21:24

How many more episodes of this are left.

I feel like I am losing hours of my life I am never going to get back but don't want to not watch just in case something happens.

It is terrible..............

Q was nice to see. I missed him at a book signing in Portsmouth by about 10 minutes many years ago and have kicked myself about that a few times.

MadameOvary · 04/09/2011 11:20

Hello all, I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before but isn't it a bit shit that Jack's brand of immortal involves looking all handsome and able to heal super-fast and the Miracle immortality just involves you staying the same decrepit way that you were when the Miracle first struck?

AitchTwoOh · 04/09/2011 11:38

...unless you are Rex in which case all but the front of the ginormous-skewer-through-the-torso injury heals veh nicely indeed.

MadameOvary · 04/09/2011 12:08

Quite, Aitch.

SquongebobSparepants · 04/09/2011 15:23

While we are on the subject, how come, in a serious traffic accident, that is the only injury he got? He would have cuts all over his hands and face from breaking glass, knees/legs broken or at least injured somehow from the driving column etc etc...

mumwithdice · 04/09/2011 16:46

Maybe, weirdly, minor things heal? clutches straws

HarrietJones · 04/09/2011 18:00

I thought they could heal. Just not die. So an injury like Rex would heal ( if people didn't stick stuff in) but a heart attack could heal so would be cat 1.

I could be just making it make sense to me though

camdancer · 04/09/2011 18:35

The granddaughter was Major Kira in DS9. Bajoran rather than Klingon.

Or did everyone know that and just not want to out themselves quite that much. Grin

Xales · 04/09/2011 18:45

I think we knew cam you just win the nerd award for admitting it........ Grin

camdancer · 04/09/2011 19:29

AitchTwoOh · 04/09/2011 21:01

knew klingon was wrong, she wasn't angry all the time.
