Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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.

Thanks for the link, Tom -- I watched. It's goofy fun; have you been watching? I sort of loved how Ilsa's base expression is an "Eff off," sneer. I've had those days! But I don't look like that when I'm having one, sadly.

I just re-watched Dr. Nobel ( Eureka ); I swear that's one of my favorite eps. Sweet love story (and adorable how Carter gets pulled in, and the show keeps it sweet and respectful), good Nathan & Jack, Jack & Alison, and Nathan and Allison. And Jo with a garter holster.

All around win.

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

Blood and Chrome not to be aired on SyFy: [link]

(I can't find earlier discussion of that--apologies if it's a dupe)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Was it ever going to? I thought it was a web series from the beginning.

Well, I can't imagine the network would confirm it if it never was thought so, otherwise I guess Fox will be explaining next that they're not airing it.

BWAH!!

I am so happy to see Jeremy! My boo!

I'm not a big fan of Elena, but they big time sold her isolation there, and I did feel for her. Magic has taken everything from her. Her brother can't even miss her properly, and her best friends can't be as close to her as they once were, and her boyfriend--well, that was always messed up.

I'm happy to see my Dalaric get a boost there. Maybe they can go raging together.

The Originals thing bores my pants off, though.

Someone just said "Everything you like about Buffy, Supernatural, and the X Files--it's all from Kolchak".

Now, I get that the show did the 20th century investigation of the paranormal with an urbane tone, but there are two reasons I really really love those three shows--amazing interpersonal dynamics, and gut-busting hilarity. I've never heard anyone talk about humour or characterisation on Kolchak, but the OP linked me a clip that I guess he thought was funny.

What sort of humour did the show have? I know it didn't run as long as the show's it's being compared to, and I don't think they got off the ground with their intense and dedicated humour eps within the number of eps Kolchak actually had to run, so it's an unfair comparison, but did it at least look like it had the roots for similar comedy?
