I loved Bamber on L&O:UK. Looking forward to 17th Precinct, but I am wary of the speculation in that write-up about "a long-term plot about the nature of magic vs. science". I very much don't want that.
It's a real burden being right so often.

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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I think I'm the only one who rather liked the finale of BSG.
I didn't hate it, but I can see why other people did. Baltar was badly written, I agree.
I didn't see Outcasts. I should catch up. Also with Misfits.
Clarification edit.

I despised the end of BSG, but it doesn't affect my view of any of the cast.
You are a better person than I am. I also can't read Orson Scott Card anymore, either.

I'm really over James Callis
Truer statement has not been made. I am over him too. But I wanted his character to die in Season 2. I am not sure I hate the cast as a result of the BSG finale, but I definitely have a dim view of the writers and creator.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I also can't read Orson Scott Card anymore, either.
Well, Orson Scott Card wrote his books. He's in them. Grace Park just recited some lines. Even if she had a good time, her next role is different.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Not just you.

Compassionately intolerant
Sanctuary seems to be running a series of bottle episodes to make up for all the SFX they lavished on the Hollow Earth episodes. And I found last night's to be pretty boring, actually. Moar Tesla, pleez?
This. Absolutely this.
I agree that the Magnus bottles are generally good but that, without the spark of Druitt or Tesla, the rest of the cast is pretty pale. I love Henry, but even he can't carry the whole scooby gang.
The Hollow Earth arc was pretty to look at, but honestly, the quality of the stories slid significantly from Big Bertha on.
Also, they keep throwing out tantalizing stuff and then seemingly forgetting about it. The Biggie & the Priest storyline seemed like it might be good but that bad guy vanished behind his diabolical smile never to be seen again.
Just seems a waste...and one that is unlikely to hold my attention for much longer...which makes me sad.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I just finished season 2 of Fringe (minus the bonus season 1 ep I'll get to eventually). Holy shit, I LOVE how fearlessly insane this show is, and yet it's incredibly internally consistent, unlike a couple other JJ shows I could mention. I'm a bit awed actually. And sorry I didn't start watching out of the gate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm inclined to give Pinkner and Wyman the credit for that. I think the two of them have been the showrunning team from the start of season two. Kurtzman and Orci stepped away at the end of season 1.
The Fringe promos have been killing me. Tease, tease, tease! Based on this and the remaining episode titles I have theories that I desperately want to discuss. I'm so not happy that I'll be working Friday night.

Discuss your theories, woman! Maybe in spoiler lite though.
