FlashForward is awesome because you have Penny, Hobbit, Captain Norrington, and Shakespeare.
t edit John Cho is just John Cho, because he's awesome like that. However, the judges will accept "Sulu" as a variant.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I googled
Penny Juliet Lost
and the first result is Sarah, Penny, Juliet, and Colleen are blonde Lost charaacters [sic] that are easy get confused on a page titled
Lost Blonde Secondary Characters.
I feel a bit better about my brainfart.
However, the judges will accept "Sulu" as a variant.
Will they also accept Harold? Although that seems very lonely without Kumar.

Having watched a couple episodes of Kitchen Confidential this weekend, we will also accept "Teddy."

The Prisoner has more of an overall arch than most of the era.
Okay. I'll maintain that it's not one by contemporary standards, and that's people should not watch the show expecting anything of the kind. Especially now that "arc" mostly means "We'll spend 12 episodes teasing you about what happens in the 13th," but that's someone else's rant.
But about 2/3rds are "plot of the week" (equivalent of monster of the week).
Yes, and I think those episodes are the point of the show. Much more than the opening & closing are. I don't agree that people should approach the show like those episodes are throwaways.

Well I agree that is not arcy by today's standards. I don't know about throwaway, buf I find myself a bit impatient with some of them.

Alternate-Universe Sci-Fi Channel Show Asks What Would Happen If Germany Lost War:
NEW MUNICH—The new Sci-Fi Channel series Fallen Axis, which eerily depicts a world in which Germany actually lost the Second World War, premiered Tuesday evening to high ratings in an alternate universe to our own.
It actually took me a minute to wrap my head around the joke (at first I thought the joke was that a sci-fi show got high ratings).
The show is considered by many to be another boon to the Sci-Fi Channel's fall schedule, which also includes Battlestar Gleichschaltung, a weekly drama about a starship crew that enforces the total coordination of intergalactic society and commerce, and the hit reality series Jew Hunters, in which a team of paranormal investigators scour banks and former Polish ghettos in search of Jewish spirits.

Oh, sure. I think The General is the one that I get bored with.
Alternate-Universe Sci-Fi Channel Show Asks What Would Happen If Germany Lost War:
Heh. That reminds me of the book Warlords of Utopia:
Marcus Americanius Scriptor's memoirs of the war between every parallel universe where Rome never fell, and every parallel universe where Hitler won the Second World War, have long been regarded as the definitive account of that turbulent time.

Arc, not arch. I'm picky that way.

Fixed. Though some of the acting was pretty arch.

I just watched the first episode of The Prisoner. Now I know where Showtime's Meadowlands came from.
