Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

McGann is the only reason to watch it. I so wish he had gotten a chance at a better run as the Doctor. He was the Doctor who fought in the Time War. Eccelston was newly minted when his run began.

Art Crawl!!!

Have you heard any of the Eighth Doctor audioplays? I hear that they are very good but I haven't had a chance to listen to any of them.

No, I haven't heard any of them. I think I've heard of them and maybe even saw a link or recieved a link in an email. My memory is fuzzy.

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

Another in io9's Introduction to SciFi series of posts (see the Movies thread for the post on top SciFi movies):

The top 20 essential science fiction TV shows

Unlike the movies post, most of these I haven't seen....

eta: Wait, I've seen more than half of these....

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Those are harder, because I've seen some of them, but not all seasons, or know about them, but haven't actually seen them...

If we count partial viewings, I've seen 13 out of 20.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

17

I, err, own one of the ones I haven't seen. I'll get to it.

Complete series, less than that but it would take more thought than I have in me to figure it out exactly.

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

I've watched some of 18 of those.

Huh.

I've watched all of 15.

Will acquire life posthaste. Any time now.

I've seen parts, if not all, of 19 (haven't seen any of Ghost in the Shell). Counting all episodes, it drops down to 12.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Of these 20 shows, seven I’ve seen only a few (or maybe one) episodes—-Blake’s 7, Farscape, Stargate SG-1, The Tick, Futurama, Babylon 5, and The X-Files. Three I’ve never seen-—Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, and Fringe.

The other 10 I’ve been a big fan of for at least part of their runs, if not the entire series--V, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: Deep Space 9, Star Trek: Next Generation, Star Trek (the original series), Twilight Zone, The Prisoner, Max Headroom, Firefly, and Doctor Who.

Our wings are not tired.

I've seen 15 in part, some complete, a few I have undying love for.
