Okay, so you know how something gets popular and suddenly you can't get away from it? And then it jumps the shark? Buffy made vampires popular, and now zombies are the "it" thing. But, the example of zombies jumping the shark? I'm watching the miniseries "Transformers: Prime" (shut up), and the big bad of the series has obtained a source of energy called Dark Energon that can bring dead transformers back to life. But, they come back all crazy and bent on mindless destruction. Ergo, Transformer Zombies. Seriously.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

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.

Transformer Zombies sound like something that would be on one of those Syfy Original Movies my mother is watching constantly. I cannot even tempt her with legit sci-fi, but shark-octupus hybrids? Sign her up.

Actually, that sounds like Blackest Night. If they start insisting that willpower is an emotion, back away slowly.

Primeval is going to air it's new season on BBCA starting January 1st (i.e., the same day it's starting in the UK.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
BBCA, get out of town! I ♥ you.

I know!
If only they'd do the same for MI-5 (they'd have to have major marathoning to get the US caught up) and L&O:UK.

How far back are we on L&O:UK?

Well, I'm not sure the second season (if there is going to be one) has aired in the UK yet. (So it would be totally possible for them to air them in the US in a timely manner.)
ETA: Except that I'm wrong. They've run four series of L&O:UK already.
Wow.

I've seen at least the first episode of the second series on BBCA..and this is off topic--take to procedurals for further discussion.

Oops! Forgot this wasn't the BBCA thread! Heh. Yes, Primeval! I caught an ep at the hotel and liked it. I get frustrated by the tv schedules thing, so maybe I'll try and keep up this year if it's going to be current.
