Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Re Sanctuary, at least if you can believe last night's episode, it will be going forward as The Tesla Show, because it looks like he and the Big Guy might be the only survivors....

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I know right? Although I am not fine with that. I like Magnus. Can she really be killed? I thought she was immortal.

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

Can someone tell me why the SyFy Being Human remake sucks?

Notice, I didn't ask why you think it's going to suck. I asked you why it sucks. Because apparently it does suck.

Sometimes I really hate people. Statistics do not predict the future. Call it your prejudice. Own it. Don't dress it up and try to parade it out like a fact.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Has it aired yet? Or is that your point?

I must admit, the ads do not leave a favorable impression of the show. At all.

Art Crawl!!!

Ummm, I don't know that it sucks. I'm concerned that Sam Witwer may not have the range of Aiden Turner - but we'll see.

That's exactly my point. Apparently because Coupling sucked and SyFy cancelled Caprica, Being Human is going to be awful.

I think the writing staff looks solid, and the cast looks serviceable, and the ads are too damned short, so I'm going to be radical and make up my mind after I actually see an episode.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ha! yes, I'm planning to watch the show, but seeing as I've watched shitty SyFy movies in the past, I'm not sure what that says about me.

I am going in with dead low expectations though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I generally wait for other Buffistas to form opinions for me. It keeps me from wasting time watching shows that might suck.

Ugh! Farscape season two is on TEN DISCS. I might have to upgrade my Netflix to two-discs-at-a-time so I can get it done in a reasonable amount of time. What in the world could POSSIBLY be justification for only putting two episodes on a disc?

And, according to Netflix, one disc is episodes 18 & 22 and another is 19 through 21. WHY WOULD THIS BE?

I am annoyed.
