'Safe'
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 managed to hit the 30 seconds in the BSG special in which they swore up and down that, although women normally run screaming from SF, in this case, they'll make an exception.
And then I had to change the channel, and go searching for my eyes under the chair, because they had rolled out of my head.
Yeah, that was weird to hear given the company I keep, but I do understand that's the general public perception. And since they were talking about the broad appeal of the show, it made sense to bring up. Plus, it was the guy from The Soup. It's not like he was making a serious commentary.
Fiona, what did you think of the Ashes to Ashes finale?
As I posted upthread, I thought it redeemed an awful lot of the preceeding series. The CGI with the clown was one of the best TV moments in a long time.
The Evan thing was a classic piece of late misdirection. They built up the Layton character in the same way. Worked pretty well!
Yes, I'm looking forward to Series Two more now. I hope they have a chance to iron out the problems. Not sure how much they can do with Alex's character without betraying her too much, though. I do like all the hints about Gene's role, and I loved the way he took care of wee-Alex .
Ashes to Ashes managed to get chilling there in the home stretch. I haven't found Alex likeable, but I did feel for her as she watched the makeup creep over her father's face and turn him into the clown (I wonder if there was anyone watching wondering why they were skimping on actors).
I loved Jesse Green and S. Epatha Merkerson! They were my favorite famous BSG fans!
I loved how Jesse got S. Epatha indoctrinated. . . I love Jesse Green's imitation of Starbuck returning at the end of Crossroads part 2 and how they're talking about how they bet that BSG even has a great Craft Services.

That was really funny.
Fiona, I agree that the CGI with the Clown was awesome. Sadly, I had been spoiled by reading TWoP that Alex's dad and the Clown were played by the same actor; I hadn't noticed at all, so it was less of a surprise (I think it would have been a hell of an HSQ if I hadn't known).
I just read a post at TWOP where somebody referred to Gwen/Jack as Gwack.
Well, that's sort of the noise I make when I think about that relationship.
Hee.
Also heeing.
