Wash ,'The Message'


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.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

Firefly is one that I have indeed seen, and more than once. I adore Firefly.

I suspect no creative team has ever loved their fans more than the people behind Farscape. Certainly, none have ever been crazier, and I include the creators of Lexx in that estimation.

For visuals, it's this + this + this + this + this + this + this.

In short, [link]

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

If you think you are going to watch Farscape and SG-1, make sure to watch Farscape before SG-1... or at least before SG-1 season 8.

Matt did a much better job than I could ever do in terms of pimpage. Bonus points for using the bondage mask shot of Rygel.

Have you seen Farscape? If not, it's worthy addition to the list.

I'll throw in Babylon 5, just to make it harder.

yeah, I have not been able to get into Bab5. I find it difficult to make it through the pilot episode even.

I'm standing next to ita.

I watched all 10 seasons, in order, twice, thanks to hulu.

While I understand the awesomeness of Farscape, I've just never been able to embrace it...though I've seen Peacekeeper Wars a couple of times and really enjoyed it.

BSG resides firmly on my list of wasted potential. It could have been so much greater.

Much as I love the Stargate franchise, in all its forms, I cannot get into 'Universe' because it feels like an even more disappointing version of BSG. Unrelenting grim is only interesting for a couple of episodes...then it just feels manipulative.

yeah, I have not been able to get into Bab5.

Yeah, I didn't hate it, but I couldn't get into it. Not even for Bruce Boxleitner.

You know what would be fun? A reverse Scarecrow and Mrs. King. They could call it Dorothy and Mr. King.

One problem with B5 is that the pilot sucks. I saw the pilot and said, "That's not for me," but a friend loved it so much that I tried again about halfway into the first season and became hooked. The thing to remember is that it's a novel in five seasons, and there is a remarkable character evolution over those five seasons. Admittedly, the fifth season has some real problems because of the loss of two actresses.
