I believe The Magic School Bus would also be banned under this premise.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Yeah, anything Terminator related would be out.
Fringe would have to lose the Observers (and why would you want to do that?), Supernatural would lose a couple of episodes, same for Stargate...
The guidelines discouraging this type of show said that some “casually make up myths, have monstrous and weird plots, use absurd tactics, and even promote feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation.”
It all seems very capricious. Weird plots and absurd tactics could describe any number of sitcoms without anything about time travel.

Started my rewatch of Farscape Season 2. My god, the Aeryn/Moya/2 Pilots thing is brutal.

Yesterday I saw this teaser for the next episode of Fringe. [link] A little while ago, I was listening to Violet Sedan Chair and a particular lyric gave me a sudden thought. William Bell is totally going to appear as a giant white rabbit .

Yes. It hurt, with no cute fluffy ending to lighten things. Just Chrichton sitting on the floor with her.

The previous episode, "Picture If You Will," with Maldis had an final scene between Zhaan and Crichton that reminded me of the Buffy/Giles dialogue at the end of "Lie to Me."

I'll never get back the innocence lost when I watched them take Pilot's arm. To this day, it haunts me.

I nearly didn't watch Farscape when it first came on TV because 1) I figured I didn't need yet one more show to follow, and 2) I couldn't figure out how they'd seriously put muppets into a science fiction show. I was so, so wrong. And the agony they inflicted on Pilot, and the fact that I never, ever questioned it, assured my loyalty to the show. Every bit as much as Crichton's ass in the black leather. They earned all the wild swings of emotion on that show.
