What about it do you think I may not like?
That none of the characters are likable, the episodes aren't interesting, and it's needlessly "edgy"?
I quit four or five episodes in, but I've been considering giving it a second chance.
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It's very different from Doctor Who. Much more over-the-top. I actually really loved it until the mini-series.

Whereas the massive acclaim for the miniseries was what got me interested in checking it out again.

There is no massive acclaim for the mini-series coming from this corner.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Yeah, the miniseries was some quality work, but it hurt.

no one else copped to being hooked on the crack that was (is?) The Tribe. So, I'm here to admit to a (mostly former) ridiculous fondness for the show and stand in solidarity with...zuisa was it?
YES!! Oh my. Let us stand together in solidarity. I haven't seen it for years, but when it was airing on some obscure cable channel we happened to get, I was ALL ABOUT IT. My brother and I were totally hooked. I still have a few livejournal icons of it, and is always makes me happy whenever someone knows what it is.
Someone told me the actor who played Bray is on Legend of the Seeker, and I almost looked into that just for that reason.
So. Favorite characters? Plotlines? I really loved the whole crazy religious cult of the Chosen, but then the Technos were really freaking awesome. Or maybe I just thought Jay and Mega were attractive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That io9 guide to getting into Scifi shows recommended starting with Torchwood season 3, saying the first two weren't very good and the third is much much better or something....

WELL, that's certainly a vote against then a vote for Torchwood. Over the top doesn't bother me. So... I'll definitely let you guys know how I like it!!

Okay, so I checked, and I'm still not rational on the subject of Torchwood. (But io9 is wrong.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, lemme look that up in my reference table. Yeah, also not rational on Torchwood. IANTO!
