But if he's enjoyed success to date without needing the stability of a constant bullpen of writers, why not gamble that it will be the same next year?
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I just noticed that there are new holiday episodes of Eureka and Warehouse 13 airing this coming Tuesday! I wanted to mention it in case anyone needs to set their DVR.

If they had any respect, they'd put the Christmas specials on when they belong--Christmas.

Well, yes, but I am going to try to look on the positive side of new shows!

One of the best sci-fi shows of all time. With really quite appalling dialogue.
Sure, sometimes. But the characterizations were consistent in a way I have problems with on other shows (BSG, I'm looking at you) and the arc stayed true to the overall theme and mission. I appreciate that the show was one guy's vision and he was willing to put in the super effort to make it be what he wanted, stilted love scenes and all.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
With really quite appalling dialogue.
And sometimes some really great dialogue, bearing in mind that this is an epic on a grand scale:
"The avalanche has begun. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."
"I will confess that I look forward to the day when we have cleansed the Universe of the Centauri and carved their bones into little flutes for Narn children. It is a dream I have."
"The universe is driven by the complex interaction between three ingredients: matter, energy, and enlightened self-interest."
It's a Russian thing. When we're about to do something stupid, we like to catalog the full extent of our stupidity for future reference."
"I can only conclude that I'm paying off karma at a vastly accelerated rate."
"I am Grey. I stand between the candle and the star. We are Grey. We stand between the darkness and the light."
"I thought the purpose of filing these reports was to provide accurate intelligence." "Vir, intelligence has nothing to do with politics."
"Only one human captain has ever survived battle with Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be elsewhere."
"So, how does it feel to make history?"
"You do not make history. You can only hope to survive it."

Here's that Craig Ferguson musical tribute to the Doctor that they couldn't air for some reason: [link]
