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 just popped in to Netflix to add some random HoYay! to my queue, and I continue to wonder about their recommendation engine. It suggested BSG for me, which isn't weird, although I have no interest in it. What was weird was
why.
Based on your interest in: Blade Runner: Theatrical Cut, The Princess Bride and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Blade Runner for the sci fi, Crouching Tiger for kickass chicks, I don't know Theatrical Cut, and I have no clue why the Princess Bride.
I don't know Theatrical Cut
Heh. That was the edition of
Blade Runner.
My absolute favourite Netflix rec was when I added the new Friday the 13th to my queue and it suggested My Bloody Valentine. But quite often I have no idea what they're on about.
They are always doing things like "You will like this FDR Documentary because of your interest in: Freaks and Geeks, Arrested Development, and Veggie Tales". I will probably like the documentary, because I watch every documentary ever, but...
I can see where there might be a nontrivial number of people who like all of the "your interest in" movies who also like BSG. I mean, I do, and surely there are lots of people like me. I assume their algorithm is some kind of correlation with no explanation behind it.
One of my recent top pick suggestions was a burlesque documentary, which didn't have a Based On listing. I actually probably would be interested in watching it for the underground culture aspect, but I wouldn't think my queue full of gay rom-coms and indies would scream "Here's a guy who's interested in the history of women taking their clothes off!"
Apropos of nothing.
Haven: Now in 2nd season of taking classic horror tropes and making them less cool.
I thought Friday's ep was in line with season 1. What did I miss?
