Now there is no one full episode.
Yeah, that's a real problem.

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.

It's not a big deal, but Torchwood talk should be happening in Premium, not here. Starz is a pay channel.

Thrive to spite them
Does that mean all Torchwood discussion should move to Premium or only the new season?

Compassionately intolerant
I totally get the rightness of putting Torchwood in the technically accurate Premium thread, but it just feels like it belongs in Boxed Set.
It's like our little genre baby has been adopted by corporate overseers. But it's still our baby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Please let's not have Premium content in non-Premium threads. That's the more important distinction. True Blood and Game of Thrones have been in Premium just fine.

I disagree, I think that Torchwood can be discussed here. I do, however, think that we should come to a consensus about where it is, since we don't have any precedent for a show that started on regular TV and moved to pay TV.

I'm on the side of Premium shows staying in the Premium Cable thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I don't watch Torchwood, but I think it should remain here. It will be aired in the UK, right? As well as Starz? I don't know whether they'll be aired simultaneously or in the UK first or whatever, but this doesn't seem to be that different a situation from Doctor Who or how Torchwood used to air. The people who have been watching Torchwood may not watch it on Starz; they may watch it the same way they have been watching it. It seems odd to me to move the show out of this thread. It isn't solely Premium content; it is UK/Premium content.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
In which case the question should be between Unamerican and Premium.

The Premium slug says it's for "HBO and Showtime original programming." If the word "premium" is the important part, and Starz is included, can the slug be updated?
I probably won't be seeing it till it's on Netflix, so the premium/non stuff is transparent to me; I just want to know where to threadsuck in a few months.
