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.
Random thoughts: Does Norman Reedus remind anyone else of Ben Edlund when Norman talks out of his Boondock Saints or Walking Dead characters? I think they should do a DNA test.
I'm waiting impatiently (as if I have any other state of being) for the next Walking Dead. I have sweaty palms thinking about who will survive the episode though. Right now, I'm good with everyone who is alive. Please don't hurt my woobie Daryl.
Speaking of whom, Norman Reedus is going to be on the next Talking Dead which isn't really casting spoiler since it's being advertised on tv and it's basically a video podcast anyway. I'm a little twitterpated with him right now, which hasn't happened since Jensen started playing Dean, so I know my next decade's obsession.
I think I'll netflix stream some more Farscape. I wish I wasn't a corporate whore, but they really can buy me with convenient and readily accessible sci-fi. Producers take note.
Note that paying for Farscape encourages them to provide more stuff like it -- or at least more scifi, some of which may be good. So if you're going to spend your entertainment dollars, spend it on something good. :-)
Talking Dead also had 'Merle' on last week, I think, and he was great. I'm glad they brought him back to reprise his role. If I were a producer, I'd have a sequence in the next season of Merle and Daryl surviving the first hours of the zombie rising.
That is, if Daryl survives...!

Merle was awesome. Both on the episode and Talking Dead. If they could figure out a way to bring him back without being a zombie, I'd be happy. I thought "Merle" gave great background to fill out Daryl's character. I liked that he was a construct of Daryl's that included all of the real Merle's heinous attributes but ultimately did help Daryl survive.
If anyone is still watching Sanctuary. I was just sad for them this week. The semi-musical aspect was just...weak.
No sci-fi show for the next 10 years should even attempt a musical episode to avoid the certainty of paling in comparison. Joss owns that territory.
I thought Fringe had a very entertaining musical episode. Sci Fi is much harder to work musical into, but they did it well. Joss's territory was fantasy, and he wasn't the first to go there. Xena did it way earlier, and did it well too. But they never get credit.
I don't think I saw that Xena episode. I'll have to check that out.
Bonny I agree. I thought the musical element was quite weak. The plot was unbelievable as well. What the fuck did Will think the options were? I did not understand why he pitched a fit over Magnus' solution. What would Plan B, C, or D be? Yes?
If you told me I had to sing (see conversation in Natter) I'd pitch a fit and try and leave it up to someone else to take care of it. ::shudder::
