Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
Eh, well, it's 'Children of Earth' or 'The End of Time', really. I've been watching both series in the order they air so just in case somebody references something I'll know what they're talking about.
I'm prepared to weep, though. But man do I need to start watching shows that are happy.
Aya. There is lots of trauma to go around with CoE.
Now, I'm imagining the anti-Oprah..."You get some trauma; you get some trauma. Everyone gets some trauma!"
I watched teh first part of Children of the Earth and never finished it. I just didn't want to deal with it. I'm not sure if I'm going to watch the new Torchwood.
Do you really know who dies? I mean, Torchwood regular cast casualties aren't what made me tell Daniel I hated him for making me watch CoE.
ETA: Yeah, I second the "don't watch" recommendation. It hurt.
Haha, well, let's put it this way: I know which major member of the Torchwood team will not be with us afterwards. But I'm assuming it will be much worse than that. Presumably the death toll will be very high, and I've finished Day 1 and can tell it's going to be bad.
But honestly, if it upsets me more than the end of "Journey's End" just did, I'll be almost impressed.
I must have some kind of sickness that I put myself through this.
Forget CoE (I personally think parts of it were brilliant, but yeah, not an easy watch) and watch "Eleventh Hour", which would be a nice pick-me-up. It's delightful. "You're Scottish! Fry something." Still one of my fave line readings ever.
CoE is tailor-made for Mark Watches' saying, "NEVER PREPARED."
Well, zuisa, we'll be here for you when you're done sobbing so hard you can't type.

Hah, thanks! I'm really surprised no one unfollowed me on Twitter last night when I basically live-tweeted all the way through "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End".
Uh. I found Children of Earth traumatizing to the point where I wished I hadn't watched it.
Dana is me. Also, the movie Serenity.
Yeah, angry just thinking about CoE right now. But I'm an angry person in general, so. And it was way worse than Journey's End. Way way worse.
