I keep dipping my toe into Supernatural, but I like the boys too much to want to watch them suffer so much without getting a little fun. I'm not in the school of "Pain! Then More Pain!" for characters. The every-now-and-then episode of (somewhat) lightheartedness isn't enough to offset the brothers being at odds with each other. Though the Winchester fandom twist was highly entertaining.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm never going to deny Supernatural is exquisite emo-torture-porn, but they do rise very often above (somewhat) lightheartedness. It can be funny in the same insane intense way that Farscape was. And they don't go many episodes without good laughs.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Deep Space Nine! Everyone should watch Deep Space Nine!

Also, selected Highlander (don't go near the final season, for instance). But it was pretty fun, if not as actually good as many of the series listed her so far.
There is a lot of good genre TV to sink your teeth into. I kinda wish I hadn't watched most of it at the time, so I could mainline shit fresh now.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Best Trek ever.
I watched the first half of the first series of Supernatural and got kind of bored. Should really give it another shot I guess.

The first season has a lot of damsel saving. Then they get their act together and start saving each other most of the time.

I assume that the guy who played Byron was able to act, since if that were his personality in real life he'd have been killed long before he could have been cast in the show.
I note that much of his work since B5 has been voice work, presumably to hinder people from hunting him down.

Art Crawl!!!
TVD: Why are we getting no new episodes until after Thanksgiving!!!???!!!
Fringe: I'm sad that the AU-verse people seem to be so far ahead of the our-verse people. And that Peter slept with FauxLivia before he slept with Real!Livia.

I still adore Deep Space Nine above all other Trek.

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.
While I acknowledge DS9 as the. Best. Trek. Evar. I have a certain soft spot for Voyager.
