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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
WTF, why? Did they need the timeslot for a show about ghost-hunting wrestlers? Or ghosts who haunt wrestlers? Or the ghosts of wrestlers?
I admit it, I've watched Ghost Hunters more than a few times. They go to some really cool places that I'd never see or even know about otherwise -- that insane asylum in Western Pennsylvania or the antebellum plantation house that's now a private residence are not going to be on the Travel Channel. But dude -- they never find anything. All they ever get on their super-sciencey devices is bumps and vague shadows and occasional noises that might be a voice from a nearby cordless telephone. How can they still be on the air, with websites devoted to analyzing their "results" (seriously, at least two) when they never fucking find anything?
And SyFy is canceling Eureka. Idiots rule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sometimes shows just end, Zenkitty. Nothing lasts forever. I know it's trendy to blame showrunners and networks for everything under the sun, but sometimes shit just happens.

SyFy bringing Eureka to an end
Am I reading correctly that there is going to be another 13 episode season and then 6 additional episodes after that? If that is the case, I can live with that. We've had Eureka longer than I was expecting to, and I'd rather shows go out while they're still good.

I wasn't blaming anyone (okay, except stupid SyFy), and I do know that shows end. I'm just surprised. Eureka is really good, it does well and it doesn't seem to be losing viewers, and I can't understand the decision to end something that's doing well.
However, that was before I read that there will be another season of 13 episodes after this one, and then a 6th season of 6 episodes, if I'm understanding this correctly, so it's not the abrupt plug-pulling I initially understood it to be.

A blog post on Tiger Beatdown that pretty much well articulates the discomfort I've had with Moffet's Doctor Who.
I do not hate Rory as much as some of the commenters seem to, though.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh my god how can anyone hate Rory?
