I watched NOF last night for the first time. It seemed awfully angsty for a half-hour sitcom. But maybe that was a one-off to build character. I do like Benz and Chiclets, so I'll give it another chance. Besides, there's nothing else on in that time slot.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Hey, there were a couple of teasers for Doctor Who during L&O:UK.
Cool. I wonder if those are online. (Unlikely to have been shown with L&O UK here - it's ITV and Doctor Who is BBC.)

No wonder it seemed truncated and rather dramatic.

The third episode of NOF improved a bit, particularly with the characterization of Dash and Violet.
Throwing a normal human off a building, though, that should kill him. The show hasn't earned enough generosity from me, so I'm grudging them that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Atlantic has a big article on Doctor Who:
eta: Buffy reference:
But then, in 2005, comes the Great Reboot, a mighty regenerative act by which Doctor Who is heaved into line with American standards. No more sets made out of cereal boxes and aluminum foil, no more waffling monologues and congealed fancies. Now it’s CGI, backchat, irony, long narrative arcs, and tighter-than-tight writing: a post–Buffy the Vampire Slayer world.

Wooo!!!
And on that note - Chuck: Great use of Oingo Boingo and bonus points for the Charade homage.

I'm loving the Morgan and Casey show. Mainly because an annoyed Adam Baldwin is right up there with an annoyed-with-Spike Angel.
