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.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

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.

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

Yes, I had just watched the episode of Flashpoint that introduces that character so was surprised to see him again.
FYI - Amazon deal of the day is Farscape - dvd or bluray.

I'm actively spitting (I'll do a literal spit in a couple seconds when I get up to brush my teeth--one of them will be dedicated to them) at the projected changes. Sure, they gotta handle their shit somehow, but seriously? Give me some advance information that actually looks interesting.
Their execution might turn out to be good, but the description that's supposed to get me in leaves me cold and irritable.
I don't think I could get that mad about the US version, because I'm not as attached. But I still find it entertaining.

They've released a media pack where they give character descriptions and a hint of the conflicts to come updated for the new season. It's at their show page on the BBC website, if you're interested.

I liked Lost Girl, too. It's making me want to reread my collection of 1990s urban fantasy, but that's not a bad thing.

I'm with Calli. I like Lost Girl quite a bit (love Kenzi!) and now feel an overwhelming need to read some urban fantasy. Maybe I'll finally read the Kate Daniels series after I finish up this Christopher Moore series.
