I just finished season 1 of Fringe, and THAT was fun. I was spoiled for all the big surprises in the finale (I don't even know if I'd count Nimoy as one of those; once you saw his name in the credits, who else was he going to play?), but still enjoyed it immensely. I can't wait to get started on season 2.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

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!
You are in for more fun! Are you spoiled for anything else?

Bits and pieces. The two episodes I randomly saw before picking up the DVDs were (1) the one where Kirk Acevedo gets killed and replaced and (2) the one where the real Olivia escapes from the (W)alterna-verse. So randomly big-time spoiler episodes.
It hasn't hurt my enjoyment of the show thus far. And knowing it goes beyond being a "freakazoid-of-the-week" show helped me get through some of the same-y-ness of season 1's episodes. It sounds like they're not stringing things out a la X-Files (or Lost) as much, which is also good.

Wow. I will watch the hell out of that. Given the opportunity.

At least Sir Terry's health seems to be holding up.

I worry about Sir Terry.

Law and Order: Ankh-Morpork.
I commented in Natter, but will say again, I'm cautiously hopeful.
I loved Going Postal so much that I might name my next dog Pump 19. But, the City Watch is so perfect, I don't know that it could be done justice by a tv series.
Next, they'll being doing the Nac Mac Feegles and I will be very sad.
...Oh no, apparently Sam Raimi is already directing Wee Free Men. I say again, Oh NO. I get a very bad, Willow-esque (the movie, not the witch) feeling about this.

I just finished Season 4 of new Doctor Who (except the specials). I want to have David Tennant's babies! I still love Chris Eccleston too though!
I love this show so much, and I can't believe I waited so long to watch it!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I don't know Wee Free Men, but a series based on the Watch sounds like it could be innovative enough to work. I didn't see Going Postal (I have to find it, though - one of my favourite Discworld books) but I wasn't too impressed by the TV film of Hogfather. But since I got the impression no one else was either, they might have learnt from that.
