Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

There is NO REASON to remake BH. It's perfectly fine just as it is.
Sigh.

What rubbish. Why can't they just air the second season of the wonderful original and leave well enough alone?

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

They're not the ones that aired the first season. BBC America aired the first season. I haven't heard whether or not they're doing the second, but I certainly hope so.
Given that it's already aired on the cable networks, I really don't see the point. Haven't the people who have interest in that kind of thing already seen it? Do they really think they can do it better?
But Sci Fi rarely makes sense. I've just been trying to work out why Warehouse 13 and Eureka don't come back until summer 2010. SGU and Sanctuary aren't enough to fill that gap--and I can't remember what else they even have. TiVo and this place remind me. They have no regularity.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ghost Hunters? Ghost Hunters International?
I have no idea.

Watched most of The Plan last night. Eh. I think it should have been called The Mess. How disappointing.

I think I've managed to keep a Sci Fi show on my schedule just about every week pretty consistently. But I'm not aware of anything scripted (I can't quite call Ghost Hunters and its ilk reality) that's going to plug the post-Sanctuary hole. And I'm not even liking Sanctuary as much this season. Kate bugs, and I'm mad they killed off Dr. Watson. What did Wingfield ever do to them? He'd make a marvellous recurring character.

The one questions glaringly missing from the vast majority of remake pitch meetings, alas.

Completely agreed. I was hoping they'd use the 'source blood' to bring him back. It would have been both a good idea casting-wise and a nice homage to the deplorable end of the Highlander universe (we can only hope) that Wingfield was regrettably attached to. He deserves better.
