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 finished my re-watch of Fringe S1. Man, I love this show. When it first aired I loved Walter and Astrid from the start, but it took a while to warm to Olivia. On re-watch, I have no idea why. Anna Torv was spot on right from the start.
I noticed so many more things this time through, including a lot of Observer appearances. Remember the little, feral, empath boy? Anyone else think he's a wee baby Observer? I wonder if we'll see him again.
they regularly missed the tragedy of the stories they were telling.
Actually, they made me sad more often than I'd have expected of the show. Given how much they killed their leads (in whatever guise), I still got fairly worked up about it.
They named a short list of things to check up on, but who knows how many other things were out of whack? I wish I'd seen part 1, because I didn't remember enough about how the dissonance came into being.
THEY KILLED HAWKMAN???
No, I'm not watching. I'm just reading recaps. But I did watch the ep where he was introduced, and now I'm kinda sadface. But, seeing as I never got over what they did (and undid, or whatever) to Lex, my expectations are low.
They brought Lionel back from a different dimension.
I won't rest or forgive them until they fix Lex. And seeing as MR keeps saying he won't come back, well, I guess they're just going to have to keep crying in their Cheerios at my lack of love for them.
I've watched the first four episodes of Torchwood now, and I think I like it? It's so different from Doctor Who, and I won't have a real opinion until I finish the season, I think, but so far so good.
I've also seen through episode 1x16 of Farscape and I'm really enjoying it! 1x14 ("Jeremiah Crichton" was sort of terrible but the fantastic commentary with everyone panning it more than made up for it.
So thanks again for the recommendations, all! I probably would have gotten around to Doctor Who/Torchwood eventually, but I don't think it ever would have occurred to me to watch Farscape.
zuisa, it's been pretty cool seeing your reactions to the stuff you have been watching.
I just finished up S4 in my Farscape rewatch this weekend. Man, that poor season. So much potential, and yet! At least I know this time that there's the miniseries to look forward to.
At least Season 4 had Hot to Katrazi with Aeryn's line "It's the hat."
I sort of feel bad posting my reactions to old shows so much, as you all have seen them already and such, but... I've definitely got nowhere else to post such nonsense. So thank you for humoring my recent sci-fi binge!!
I should have another Farscape disc tomorrow and I'm very excited about it! I loved the last episode I watched, where John thinks he's found Earth again but uh, things go horribly wrong.
