Tara ,'Empty Places'
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.
I bet tiggy says the something similar in re: The Southern Vampire series.
It depends.
They are very different than the show. Charlaine Harris considers them a completely different animal. (no pun, really) Some fans don't love the show, but I like them both.
Seska,
I have not read the books and I am entertained by True Blood. BTW, I think the TB discussion is in Premium.
However, I don't think TB is good. I try to keep firm lines between that which I think is good and entertaining and that which is entertaining. TB is the latter. The show, in my view, has pacing issues, and as an audience we are supposed to believe that most of the first 3 seasons together occur in a period of time that is less than 90 days. When you start watching the show, you will realize how ridiculous this is.
It's almost like the writers revel in being on HBO and so they emphasize (WAY over-emphasize in my view) some of the R content for giggles, but don't really service the story. This was particularly true in Season 2 which was one giant WTF.
Not everything can be a Farscape or BSG (first 2 seasons), but do I really need that level of repetition. Every episode?
Spoiler tv called this a "prequel" video for the next episode of Doctor Who.
Oh, Steven Moffat, never change.
I could only listen while I'm working, but that creeped me right the hell out.
I actually did not love the books. I like Harris's series about the psychic better. I have not seen the series, but I can see how a it would make for first rate TV.

The BBC says the same [link]
Felt a lot like a "Are you my mummy" vibe, but that's not a bad vibe to have.
I love seeing American presidents on Doctor Who. They're about as believable as the big rubber puppet villains.
Man, that was seriously creepy.
In related news, I finally saw The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances and while I didn't find it scary, it was brilliant. This was the first appearance of Captain Jack, right? I wish I liked other episodes as much as these; I'd still be watching it, but I've found it too uneven. It swings between funny/campy/creepy and heartbreaking&infuriating; I never know how I'm going to feel when I'm done watching. Torchwood is the same, worse if anything. Yes, Doctor Who&Torchwood are too hard on my delicate soul.
