Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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 won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Good to see your pixels, CFerg.

The show is then passed off to the producers and to the network and they both have their way with it.

Interesting... I thought it was more of a "here's some notes" thing and not so much giving up control.

Agree that Jo/Jack is a great partnership, and that Jack's relationship with his daughter is wonderful.

Pretty much agree with what all of y'all said about Allison, and the hotel comment, and being cautiously optimistic about Zane.

Good news...I watched all of Ultraviolet on Hulu yesterday and enjoyed it even more the second time around. (Vampire Bill! Only with fluffy hair!)

Other news...I actually enjoyed last night's The Gates. Did not expect that, I must say. Yes, yes, it's Dynasty with Fangs, but the characters and intrigues are becoming less Melrose Place as the season progresses.

Is Paul Blackthorne only in episodes 3 and 4? (Of The Gates )

I hadn't realized that was Stephan Moyer in Ultraviolet.

Reason to rewatch! (If one is needed.)

He was in for a few minutes this episode. His character seems wasted, but I suspect this is build up to something nasty on the way.

Who's watching Being Human on BBC Am? It is *not* looking to be a lighthearted season.

No, pretty dark.

The season of Being Human is so much darker, I didn't enjoy it as much. At times, it felt like the showrunners were following the BSG-grit-is-good model. It's well-done, but de-ark.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I'm watching. I loved "soooo, I'm a werewolf". "Yes, he is very handsome". I loved Mitchell's speech about how she wasn't alone, that she had them.

I still hate Annie, and I pretty much FF or go to the kitchen whenever she has scenes without the others. I also have some issues with her getting a job - she's dead, who's getting paid? (unless it's a cash bar job, which is possible, but it should have been addressed). I don't like stupid people, and she's an idiot for not realizing that the guy was a con man. And I am steeling myself for the inevitable drama when EVERYONE WITH A BRAIN knows and she gets upset that everyone "hates" him. (also loved the throwaway from the barman when they left)

Being Human. Annie has always been portrayed as not-too-bright, but this is sit-com levels not-too-brightness. Slapstick. Which does not go well with darkness.

Also George is now officially a dick. They have been having troubles for a month and he's already threatening to leave Nina? Plus he cheats on her.
