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'm really looking forward to watching more. People have been telling me that seasons 2 and 3 are better than 1, but I've been very much enjoying 1, so... yay!
I'm also considering upgrading to two-discs-at-a-time on Netflix because I am horribly impatient.
I'm also getting much better at resisting the urge to see what's been written in whitefont. It's like, most of me absolutely does not want to know what's going to happen on any given show I'm watching, but then a small part is like JUST HIGHLIGHT IT YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO KNOW.
"Jeremiah Crichton" was sort of terrible but the fantastic commentary with everyone panning it more than made up for it.
Heh. I'll have to watch the commentary sometime - that does sound like fun. I assume there was a lot of dissing of the mangy badger that was trying to eat Crichton's face?
I sort of feel bad posting my reactions to old shows so much, as you all have seen them already and such
I love reading reactions of newcomers to old favorites. It usually puts me in the mood to watch the shows again myself.

Yeah, I thought season 2 was pretty good, but I LOVED season 3. I, too, am enjoying your reactions!

Exactly! One of my flisters has been watching
Avatar,
and now I've got the itch.
Oh, to be able to trap Jeff Wachtel or Michael Wright on a plane with a marathon of good Farscape episodes playing so they could realize how badly television needs Ben back on it in a well-written role.

They spend a ton of time making fun of that beard.
It's really fun, at the beginning someone is all "You know, sometimes on shows, everything just aligns. The acting, the writing, directing, scenery, costumes, and it makes a magical perfect episode. This is...... not one of those moments."
One of the actors admits to having never actually watched the entire episode before.

there's no doubt that season 2 and 3 are better than 1. it gets WAY more arc-y.

this. i've been meaning to do a Farscape rewatch for a while now. maybe now that everything is on mid-season hiatus i'll get on it.
Seasons 2 and 3 of Farscape are my favorite 44 hours of television. Season 1 only just begins to reveal the full potential of a show where the writers really let themselves go wild and the cast and crew stepped up to meet the writing.
It's after about episode 16 in Season 1 that the show breaks out of the "just another sci-fi show" mold and goes off in its own direction. It's still riffing on classic SF concepts, but it becomes the anti-Trek in many ways, and really pushes the limits of what was considered acceptable in serial televised SF. Basically, everything has consequences.
Well, and it was made in Oz and those people have no fear of bodily fluids.
The way I describe Farscape to other people is, "everything that you didn't realize was missing from Star Trek."
Basically, everything has consequences.
This this this this this.
