question:
how many episodes constitutes a marathon when you are watching a tv program?
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.
Dawn ,'Beneath You'
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Three or more, and then it's an orgy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
See, I think it has to be at least 4 to be a marathon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think a marathon is when you watch for so long you eat at least two meals during it.
Or maybe if you and your roommates finish a 750 ml bottle of vodka or Jack Daniels.... (That's what we did when Comedy Central had MST3K marathons on Thanksgiving.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
they mention a show called Cast a Deadly Spell
I have that on VHS! It was fun.
I'm gonna get y'all's reactions to US Being Human for a few more episodes before I commit to it. Buffistas are useful for pre-screening shows for me! I can tell if I'll like it based on what the folks here say. For example, I have you to thank for the new Sherlock Holmes, which I might never have even heard about otherwise.

I think marathons should be at least six.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Fringe!
Twin Peaks reference!
I was really tense for much of this episode. The firefly story was sad and beautiful and wrapped up the webcomic and explained why Walter's favorite band only made one album in this universe, but 3 in the other ... and! and! and!... it's possible I'm overly invested in this show.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Unposssible, aurelia! I was totally worried! What did they mean by "He was willing to let his son die"?

Art Crawl!!!
He thought that Peter was going to die if he went after the Watcher, and he let him go. Of course, we know that really that was Peter's decision.
