You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

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.

I'm actually loving Alcatraz. But I'm not at all invested in unraveling the mystery, I'm just enjoying the bad guys from the past getting caught by Our Heroes. I guess her grandfather is still out there laying low?

Lost Girl held my attention pretty thoroughly.

I'm close to over Being Human (US). I just don't really care about those characters and their problems. I'll stick around since they cast Dichen Lachman, I guess.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I find myself pre-emptively over the UK Being Human, so I may be watching the US one for a while, to methadone down.

I found the U.S being human the most boring AF every. Awful without any redeeming MST unintentional comedy.The last ep I saw was 1.6. Not everyone will agree, but as far as buffista guideance: if I hated it through that is there any reason I will like what follows more?

There's going to be more of the UK series? I guess I knew that. I still don't know how I feel about it.

Eta: TB, I doubt it. It didn't get radically better IMHO.

There was more than 1.6 already - that was definitely not the end of season one. And I think I caught some season 2 promotage on Lost Girl. As someone said upthread - Lost Girl definitely caught by attention.

Not sure it was on Lost Girl that I saw the promo.

Season 2 of US Being Human started last night, it's on just before Lost Girl. It looks like more of the same to me - if you hated it before you'll probably still hate it.

Sorry for not being clear which show I was talking about.

Yeah, personally I like it better than the UK original, but if you weren't into it by episode 6 it's not for you.

For some reason my TiVO has decided to make some stuff rather more optional than I intended. So I'm having to force it to record the US BH. I'm behind on that starting up.

I liked Lost Girl. It's filling a hole that 17th Precinct can't. And Alcatraz seemed fine--sci fi for normal people, but not not for sci fi people.

I find it amusing that one of the bad guys from Lost Girl is saving lives on Flashpoint every week.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I hated US Being Human. i'm interested to see where they go with the UK version, but i don't know if i'll stay interested.
