Jilli, I join you in being a bad, bad person. Mmm, Mitchell.
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.
Oh, damn. Caprica is the only sci-fi thing I'm watching regularly at the moment (Doctor Who and Being Human are not on regularly enough to count - and are more fantasy anyway). I'm going to need to find a replacement.
I'm watching and enjoying SGU but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one. Partly because I'd follow Dr. Rush anywhere, out of really truly morbid curiosity.
I watch SGU but feel no need to discuss it.
Also, TVshowsondvd got a street date of December 21st for Caprica 1.5 but then Syfy announced the cancellation and the postponement of the remaining episodes so TVshowsondvd thinks that the dvds may also be postponed.
Also - info about two upcoming Who releases: the movie (Eight) and a Three adventure.
Also, some hints that there might be something happening with Eight because he has a new costume.
Alan Sepinwall on what went wrong with Caprica.
This comment from Zach Oat made me laugh:
The creators of Smallville are going to shoot a pilot for their new Charlie's Angels TV series. If they continue the trend of there being three angels, they're going to have to learn how to write scenes with more than two people talking to each other.
I never thought about it, but seriously! Ha! Now I'm trying to think of the shows I watch and how often scenes involve more than two people talking to each other.

SPN, pretty often.
BSG all the time.
Lots in Eureka and W13.
Off the top of my head.
SPN, pretty often.
With SPN, I keep thinking of all the scenes with Sam and Dean talking to each other, but of course there are the scenes when they both talk to witnesses or monsters or whatever. I haven't watched SV in years, but I'm trying to figure out what the ratio of two-person scenes to more-than-two-person scenes is, and how much higher it is than in other shows.

I just finished rewatching S1, and I was struck by all the reaction shots to two people interacting, especially towards the end of the season. Which was why it came first to mind.
When John shows up, every time he touches one brother, we get to see the other's face.
I love it.
Smallville I couldn't tell you. Haven't watched that recently either.
