River ,'Ariel'
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.
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.
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.

George has done dickish things certainly, and I don't excuse the cheating at all, but he continued to make a valid point (based on the information that he had at the time) - if she was having so much trouble with what was happening, then why was she still with him? From his point of view, it seemed incredibly passive aggressive to complain about a situation constantly, but not do anything about it. He was truly hurt when he talked about how she flinched everytime that he touched her.
George just breaks my heart, over and over again.
