Faith ,'End of Days'
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 agree, it bugs me most when there's a dramatic moment and the music literally marks out each emotional beat of the scene (I really noticed this in "The Waters of Mars" which is one of my favorite episodes, but the music is nuts). It's like they don't trust their actors (who are usually more than capable).
At least the music itself is usually pretty good - they just tend to overuse it.
Eep, sorry!
oh no, don't apologize. I'm sure I would have caught on eventually.
Lots of people have been complaining about the music mix. It's probably optimised for surround, or something, so sounds rubbish on most normal, humble tellys. I sometimes put the subtitles on just so that I can understand the actors.
Over-emphasis in the incidental music is a separate issue and one which I'd agree with. But I was at college with Murray Gold so I feel a little bit protective.
For Strega: Max Headroom is being released on DVD.
Dude, that is AWESOME.
(Still waiting for the John Larroquette show -- seasons 1 & 2 only -- on DVD.)
Watch out for the blipverts!!
Max Headroom was a very fun show.
Eee! Bless Shout! Factory. They're the ones doing Parker Lewis & It's Garry Shandling's Show, too, so I think Max Headroom is the final stage of their plan to win my heart. Or perhaps just take all my money.
Thanks for posting that, P-C. Plus, when I went to order it, I found out Quark: The Complete Series was available on DVD too. I suspect it will not hold up very well, but it was dirt cheap, so I ordered that too.
The preview for Fringe tonight amuses me. It refers to Walter as "self-medicating." Yeah, considering he referred to some pot as "not as good as what I grow", I can accept that he would be choosing his own coping methods to what happened last week. Walter could be called experienced in the ways of home pharmaceuticals. I wonder how that plays with the censors, such a lovable guy being a connoisseur of drugs. Of course, he's also mad, so that may balance out.
