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.

Max Headroom is coming out on DVD!!!!! I am SO HAPPY.
MH was my first experience of the tragedy of Brilliant Show Cancelled Unfairly. I can't wait to see how it holds up on dvd (as compared to the crappy dark third-generation VHS-to-.avi version I have on my external hard drive).
That's awesome!!!! I was just talking about MH to someone at work and wondering why it's never been out on home video.
From io9: Caprica Is Quickly Becoming The Best SF Show On Television
Friday night's episode of Caprica, "There Is Another Sky," moved the already-intriguing show to the status of must-watch. It was simply one of the best SF representations of futuristic videogames and internet culture that I've ever seen.
The article mostly sums up last Friday's episode.
The conclusion:
From its humble origins as a spinoff of Battlestar Galactica, Caprica has grown into a terrific show in its own right. A show that nimbly asks big questions about the nature of sentience and justice, while also spinning a terrific yarn about old-fashioned gangsters in a world of high-tech corporate warfare.
This is definitely not Battlestar Galactica anymore. It's something else. And you'll be sorry if you don't tune in to find out more.
Wow, that's really great. I hope that the show keeps getting better.
Being Human:
Whoa! While some of the clean up may have been a bit rushed and...convenient...I enjoyed the finale. If only because it seems as though they've set it up that S3 will be more like S1...which suits me fine.
It was nice to see the resurrection...pun intended...of one of my favorite characters. And the demise of the one I've liked least throughout the series.
Annie was underused, but Mitchell and George were great...as was Nina. I never liked her before, but she's grown on me. Lucy's fate was satisfying and appropriate.
Fun!
CAPRICA!!!
Had to watch on Hulu because my Tivo is on the fritz, but WOW I am so on board with Team Tamara Adama. She fracking rocks.
(And poor Future Admiral Bill - when he enlists to fight the Cylons in the first war, does he have any idea the roll his dead sister is playing in it? Assuming/hoping she has one.)
There's something kinda' funny about the premise of Caprica - a rebellion by the Cylons and then later a genocide against the humans, all caused by (I'm assuming) two pissed-off teenage girls.
I thought BH was okay for a season finale, but I thought the pacing of the episode was flat.
It felt like there were like 5 different ending scenes and that got old around the 3rd one. I was not terribly surprised by any of the events that transpired except maybe Annie. What I don't really understand is
Mitchell still being in love with Lucy after all that has happened. It just seems to defy logic and Mitchell's nature.
Whatever, I guess I'll watch next season. I wasn't quite sure I was going to midway through this season.
le nubian. That was the flattest, craziest turn of events. I agree. Except, as it happened, I thought to myself
Yeah, she's here so we can see Mitchell's humanity and George's leadership. I bet she bites it before the end.
So, yeah. Pretty predictable.
I'm also in agreement with you about contemplating abandoning the franchise mid-season. It was the twists the end that made me perk up. I'll anticipate the new season, whenever it may be.
