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 am worried that The Plan sounds rubbish (even without reading spoiler font). Will it make me terribly sad to watch it? I am so committed to BSG that I didn't even hate the finale...
apparently SyFyWhy has ordered a 13 ep remake of Being Human.
That's annoying. Most BBC remakes aren't that good. BH is excellent already and doesn't need an American remake.
Still, at least they haven't proposed remaking Doctor Who.
If you didn't hate the finale, you might not mind "The Plan." The most favorable description of "The Plan" I read was by the guy at Time Magazine who described it as extraneous. He likened it to a DVD commentary track from the cylon point of view.
I loved the finale (while simultaneously shouting at it), and The Plan was unbelievably disappointing. I was hoping we'd learn something new, but it was just a 2-hour clip show.
I thought the Mark/Olivia breakup was too forced. I thought he had every reason to be freaked, but the escalation didn't work for me.
It did seem to come a little too quickly, but Olivia hit one thing absolutely square on, and that was that Mark was projecting his fears onto her and expecting the worst while being less than honest himself. And from that standpoint, I can totally buy that she would have a knee-jerk reaction and say there wasn't any way she could go through this again.

I know I'm like the last person to have watched Torchwood: Children of Earth, but man...that show just kills me.
I should have known when Ianto
died and we still had an episode to go, that it was going to be painful. I probably shouldn't have been surprised that Capt. Jack would sacrifice his own grandson, but it still made me sad.
But despite the gut-wrenching, I liked the longer story much better than the regular episodes of Torchwood. I guess the show is over now? (I assume, since
there is no one left but Gwen
.)
No, Stephanie, BBC has confirmed a Series 4
Hm, I'm curious to see how they handle that.
Robert Farley at Lawyers, Guns and Money has a funny take on the end of BSG. I'd give it a "heh". [link]
