I hated The Blair Witch Project, but I'm rather enjoying the style, pacing and structure of this week's SGU. I'm adoring the reactions to watching the kino, the lack of music, and the act breaks.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.
Book ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Juliebird, yes - that was a particularly effective opening act, in particular.
Of course, if they'd gone in the second time through with body armor and/or the spacesuits on. Guess Eli can't think of everything....

I watched SGU after Smallville.
Do they have body armor along? I suppose the could take some decking plates and make some...
Maybe this is proof that TBWP might have been tolerable with a better plot...or at least a floating camera ball for people to get annoyed at. Nope, plot.
Plot, acting and script would have helped The Blair Witch Project? Who'd a thunk?

So. I'm holding on by a fraying thread with Sanctuary and have given up altogether on SGU. I'm also done with Fringe and can't quite get into FF or V.
Paging Dr. Who...I NEED YOU.
Ahem.
My sad, fangirl heart is finding its only solace in reruns of now-dead shows. ::sniff::
I almost liked this week's Sanctuary, except for the sorta shoving of Henry towards a female character. Sigh.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Right!
At least that's something.
What's wrong with these Scifi writing kids today? Where has their gumption gone?

SGU wasn't bad. They got off the ship and a lot of people died.

TJ broke me last night with her reaction to Eli.
And how much did I love that my trained expectation for everything to be wrapped up neatly with the press of a Big Red Reset Button was thrown out the window? "Oh, now they can get it right! Wait, what? More death? Cut to black mid-musical-cue what?" Awesome.
From the previews and, if I remember correctly, the lack of To Be Continued, this is it for this story? As in, we are left to imagine that they go through many more cycles and iterations until they get it right, and we won't see any of that? Also very cool. Reminds me sort of how Farscape would just start in the middle of the action, instead of tromping through all the normal set-up before the actual story began.

Tempting, but I don't know...
