May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

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.

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.

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.

zuisa, it's been pretty cool seeing your reactions to the stuff you have been watching.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

where John thinks he's found Earth again but uh, things go horribly wrong

It's not much of a spoiler to say that happens at least twice. Maybe 3 times? I forget.

If I didn't have so much else to watch, I would be all over a FS rewatch...

I watched the commentary, and they kept mentioning the "Earth episodes" so I figured as much. It was a really great episode, and I'm fairly sure that that's exactly what would happen if someone came crashing back onto Earth with a ship full of alien friends.

I really liked that the show remembered that people on Earth don't have the translator microbes in their brains and so can't understand the aliens. I liked that John had to keep translating for them.
