Mal ,'Shindig'
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.
Why am I still watching V? This whole business with Anna trying to isolate the human soul is so eye-rollingly bad!
I've been asking myself the same question. The main reason I had last season is gone since they turned Morris Chestnutt's character into Johnny-one-note. Oh well, at least they brought back Nicholas Lea.
Also eye-rollingly bad: Grandma V trapped in the basement dungeon... of the spaceship.
The what now? I quit before the end of last season.
Wow. Me too. And I'm usually the stick to it type.
As am I.
Wait... V is still on? I hadn't even known. Or cared, actually.
Klingons and Daleks! Amazing "Star Trek vs. Doctor Who" Art Piece
This is like the poster for the greatest crossover movie ever. The Eleventh Doctor and Amy team up with ShatnerKirk and NimoySpock to fight the Klingons, Romulans, Daleks and Cybermen. For the record, though, the Daleks would p0wn the Klingons and Romulans, and then take on the Federation. Artists Mike Mayhew & Rainier Beredo created this piece for the late, lamented Wizard Magazine.
A local paper recently ran this piece on the pilot shoot on a new show based on a comic book called "Locke & Key," written by the son of Stephen King. Huh. I did not know King had a writer-son.
It's basically a haunted house story, it looks like, but has some awesome people involved already. First of all, it stars Miranda Otto! And Nick Stahl, about whom I have mixed feelings, but... OK. But it's the behind-the-scenes folks that peaked my interest the most:
He's talking about executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who are also EPs on Fox's "Fringe" and CBS's "Hawaii Five-0" and wrote the most recent "Star Trek" movie. Josh Friedman, who was show runner on "Sarah Connor Chronicles," wrote the "Locke" pilot script and the director is Mark Romanek ("One Hour Photo").
JOSH FRIEDMAN! Kurtzman and Orci!
My fondness for Josh Friedman is battling with my dislike for Nick Stahl. Which will win?!!
I kinda like Nick Stahl. I do not like Joe Hill. A friend loaned me Heart-Shaped Box to read and: woof. After a couple of chapters I was skimming. After a couple more I flipped to the last third, on the premise that if peaking ahead made it seem more interesting, I would go back and read the rest of the thing.
So I returned it the next day.
He is probably a better stylist than his dad, but that's a low bar. It was a very Stephen King book, with individual scenes that were effectively creepy in a book that seemed to have more padding than a couple of sofas. And characterization that relied heavily on revelations about abusive parents because I guess that's still a surprising twist to someone in the world? Ugh.
I cannot spell names today for some reason.
