Oz ,'Beneath You'
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.
Yeah.
That wasn't the finale of OuAT, was it?
And Nick should totally tell his gf. But should he show her the trailer of crazy weaponry?
Loved the claw coming out of the mirror at the end of Lost Girl.
Ummm, can you tell I've done some catching up this weekend?
Remember this show?

DH is watching the upfronts online right now for this and says it's going to be GLORIOUSLY awful. Like Terra Nova levels of horrible cheese. I can't wait.
What's the name of the show?
The press about it has shifted to from "no energy" to "no electricity". Which doesn't quite answer the question of "how life?" but...it's something, I guess?
What premise is in the actual script for what has stopped working?
Revolution.
The clips in the upfront presentation don't reveal that - if I had to guess, I'd say figuring that out will be part of the arc.
The show is Revolution.
Which doesn't quite answer the question of "how life?"
Or, you know, if electricity stopped working, all the atoms in the Universe would disintegrate.
The marketing copy for this show could have used a science consultant:
Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why?
I guess what I would need/want established in the first episode is a pretty consistent demonstration of what's broken. They can spend all the time in the world working out why, but first there has to be an even remotely plausible problem.
first there has to be an even remotely plausible problem.
I think you will be disappointed then - the trailer makes NO sense at all.
