'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
When I reporter right out of school, I spent part of every day doing what was a rite of passage for reporters back in the stone age: I wrote obits. One of the first ones I wrote included "died suddenly," and the assistant city editor told me to never write that, because all death is sudden.
I'd put Clifford Simak's Why Call Them Back from Heaven? on that list.
Is that the one with the chimpanzee? I think I remember that.
That's the one. While packaged as a teen comedy...which completely mystified me...it illustrated the Air Force experiment which irradiated chimpanzees who had been trained to pilot a flight simulator. The proposed goal was to see how long fighter pilots would continue to fly once they knew they had been irradiated.
See the problem there?
The chimps kept flying because that is what they had been trained to do. They did not have the cognitive ability to imagine an alternative, nor to conclude that they were dying.
I'm not generally anti-military, but that program caused me to curse a lot. The Air Force wanted to know how long a pilot could keep flying after irradiation, without taking into account whether or not a pilot WOULD keep flying.
That sucks. So disappointing.
Heh. Final five episodes deferred to 2011, eh?
I'm not broken-hearted over that cancellation. Caprica is sometimes on the verge of being awesome, but it's also often pretty boring.
I didn't love Caprica, but it was much, much better than Stargate SGU. What a waste of resources that show is. The only part I've even remotely enjoyed is the 'hey, it's that guy' moments with SG alums.
Oh, that's too bad.
I will miss it, but it never reached the majesty of BSG.
And, I still watch SGU. Am I the only one?
I think Daniel watches SGU.
I gave up on SGU. I watched it without really paying enough attention for a few weeks of this season, and then realized that I didn't know what was going on and didn't really care, so I stopped. I'm not sure that that's the show's fault, though.
