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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When I initially heard about it last year I was all eager to see, but then the actual execution was cringetastic. So much for the promising stripping career Robin Dunne seemed to be working his way toward...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
A dance number?! No way. Y'all are smoking the cheap weed.

Would that we were. Arrange your monitor so it can be watched from the furthest end of a hall, click, and run: [link]

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
you know, if that would help me forget, I would think about smoking a whole host of things.
I don't have Marilu Henner's memory, but that dancing image, particularly since (as ita said) they keep SHOWING THE FUCKING THING, is burned into my skull.
It was an extended set of scenes, replayed from different vantage points, and revisited on top of it all.

AAIIGGHHHH
I couldn't watch it. I'll try again later. I got to the madman screeching "I CAN DANCE!" and I had to turn it off.

Looks like some of those moves were stolen from David Boreanaz. Un-ironically, sadly.

At least when Angel danced it was supposed to be for comedic effect.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What happened in the Doctor Who world in 1992? Is that when the Fox pilot was?
eta: And this BSG book search is weird: [link] What happened in 1994?

The Fox movie was in 1996. I'm guessing the 1992-98 upswing was because of the books -- Virgin published both the New Adventures and the Missing Adventures between 1991 and 1997.
Google-fu suggests that 1994 is when Richard Hatch started campaigning for a Galactica revival.
