'Serenity'


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 are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Which makes me feel okay about what's to come. It seems he's going to be Tennant-ish in vibe, but possibly without the puppy-dog eyes.

But floppier hair, from the looks of things.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is anyone listening to the Caprica commentary podcasts? How's David "My Shows Are Too Good To Be Real Sci-Fi" Eick compared to RDM?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fringe has been renewed. I didn't know it was on the bubble.

I didn't know it was on the bubble either - so whew!

(Stephanie - the old woman who lives with Josef and Willie is Josef's mother-in-law, not his mother. Josef and Sam are orphans.)

Trust my rage

sumi - thanks. I realized after I'd posted that I was pretty sure she had talked about losing *her* daughter, but I didn't go back and check.

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

Hurrah!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I know Caprica's ratings aren't the greatest, but it seems to be doing well on iTunes - currently yesterday's episode is their #6 TV show download.

Over on tWOP there was a suggestion that Willie Adama isn't Bill Adama - because (somewhere in BSG) Evelyn is Bill's mother not Shannon. But if at some point josef and Evelyn marry - should would be Willie's stepmother and the only paternal grandmother that Lee and his brother would know - so I'm not sure if it really follows. Does anyone here recall a reference to Bill's mother as Evelyn?

It seems overly complicated to me that Josef would have a second son named William.

Oh dear God....

This Week, Dinoshark Will Gobble Your Saturday

(Link has spoilers for other TV shows.)

Syfy's holding an aquatic monster marathon in anticipation of Dinoshark at 9 PM. Here's a synopsis:

"Global warming causes the glaciers to break apart," Corman explains. "We start the picture with real beautiful shots of the glaciers falling into the ocean. The unborn egg of the Dinoshark that has been frozen for millions of years is released."

And here's the line-up:

9:00 AM - Sharks in Venice
11:00 AM - Supergator
1:00 PM - Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus
3:00 PM - Lake Placid 2
5:00 PM - Sea Beast
7:00 PM - Spring Break Shark Attack
9:00 PM - Dinoshark
11:00 PM - Dinocroc

I'd suggest a drunken watch-n-post for all these, but I think I'd pass out before the end....
