Anya ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
Misfits. get on it.
I would love to! Torchwood and Farscape have me a bit busy at the moment, but I have heard such great things about Misfits that I really ought to watch it. I've certainly seen enough of it scroll by on my Tumblr dashboard. It's not available on Hulu or anything, though, as it's not a US show.... but I'll find a way!
Thanks for the recommendation!
You've all persuaded me that I should be watching Misfits. That, and the writer being interviewed on Radio 4. Surprised I didn't come across it before.

I totally called out my Brit friends on facebook for not being the ones to bring it to my attention. it was all Americans and Canadians raving about it.
I was reading the Futon Critic piece about the cancellation of SGU - so, ratings were higher than Caprica or Sanctuary, but only Sanctuary survives. Is that a decision based on production costs?
probably. Poor Sanctuary has been run on the cheap and it shows.
Probably, though demographics and better critical reception may play a part. Also, the showrunners of Sanctuary haven't actively attempted to piss off the show's fanbase and gotten a deluge of angry letters sent to the network over their handling of gender, race, disability, and consent issues.
The first season of Sanctuary was decent, the premise was interesting and the characters except for the annoying daughter were intriguing. But by the end of the season I felt like they were taking it off in a different direction than where they started aiming at, and I lost interest. Did it get better, or at least remain worth watching?
I think it's a mileage varying thing - I've mostly heard really positive things about the storyline dealing with the Five at the end of Season 1. They're emphasizing that again with this season's arc, and Jonathan Young might as well be one of the regulars.
I'm not sure that the show really changed direction - although it's been to some odd places and they did get rid of the daughter.

Agreed. I did not like the season finale for last season. I thought it was a complete joke in just about every way. But it seems those events have implications for what is going on this season.
