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'm still enjoying SGU, but the constant base on the soundtrack gives me a headache. I get it, we're on a ship, engine noise blah blah blah. But don't you think the Ancients might have found a way to muffle that so they could hear themselves talk?
(I also find myself wondering what the episode titles will be down the line if they continue on the "thing we're running out of this week" theme. So far we've had Air, Light, and Water, but I can't help but worry that S2 is going to premiere with "Lemon-Soaked Paper Napkins.")
If that's true, then they will be in suspended animation for long periods, only to be woken up to be served drinks and assured that the flight will continue when civilization rebuilds.
I will totally start watching the show again when the thrilling two-parter "Lemon-Soaked Paper Napkins" airs.
I am still getting chills every time I see Morena Baccarin blink in beat with Muse.
Did anyone watch the original V that bennett mentioned upthread? I missed it, but am very curious about how the remake comes off in comparison.
OMG, yes!!! I loved that show. My brother and I were seriously hooked. I still remember when Diana
unhooked her jaw to eat the rat.
At the time, I covered my eyes, but I remember my brother yelling out "GROSS!" (I saw it years later, and am glad I covered my eyes because I would have been totally creeped out)
I only vaguely remember the original. I wish I'd caught this weekend.
I loved the original, cheese and all. Marc Singer's tight pants and steely gaze...arguably his only expression, but hey, those pants made up for a LOT. Michael Ironside's gritty defiance. (It's weird to me that his character is not featured on the mini series wikipedia page) Robert Englund's dopey sweetness.
And the tension. The amazing tension between characters who knew what was going on and those who did not...or had other agendas. The way loyalties were divided and revealed.
I almost don't want to rewatch for fear of tainting my fond memories and I'm feeling pretty avoidy towards the new show, which comes off in the promos as way too sterile.
Besides. No Singer thighs in stone-washed denim = ho. hum.
eta: Granted, it is a blurry fan photo, but Marc still looks exactly the same to me in this 2007 shot at a con. At 59? hubba.
I watched the miniseries when it first aired. It was Great. But I was 10, so "great" meant "even better than Buck Rogers." I watched the sequel and even the TV series. Which even I could tell was pretty lame. And yeah, that's when I imprinted on Michael Ironside.
I watched the minis again when they were on cable, in, I dunno, the late 90s? They were entertainingly nonsensical and we had a good time MiSTing them.
I'll probably check it out tonight, but only because Vampire Diaries wasn't terrible enough to suit me.
