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.
it occurred to me what Baltar's religion/philosophy was reminding me of--Christian Gnosticism.
Oh god, now I'm not going to be able to stop mapping the BSG characters onto The Matrix. Lord help us all if Baltar turns out to be Neo. (Nah, he's clearly Morpheus. Maybe Starbuck is Neo.)
(Cavill as the Architect? Six as the Merovingian?)
I don't like the new comical tone they're taking with the character.
Comical? Huh, I don't see it. There's a lot less slapstick involved here than there was in S1, that's for sure. I feel they've pushed the level of crazy way past funny and over into scary.
I think the Chief and Baltar are going along similar paths right now, actually. Baltar has his manic hallucinations and Tyrol has his ugly violent lashouts (verbal and physical), and they've both been pushed beyond the point of control. I don't think either one is a new aspect of the character, they're just closer to the surface now. (Or in Baltar's case, right up on the surface and rubbing off on his little tribe of fanatics.)
You missed Josef TURNING Mick?
Oh, that's so sad.
I agree with the theory that the Chief was being an ass on purpose so that he would get fired because he's afraid that it was programming not human error that made him mess up Racetrack's machine.
SCC dvds coming in August.
I thoroughly enjoyed Moonlight this week. Of course, I have very low standards when the boys are pretty.
I don't like the new comical tone they're taking with the character.
Comical? Huh, I don't see it.
The conversation he had with Head!Baltar a week or two ago and the silly Six-holding-him-up in last week's ep are two examples. To me it's pretty jarringly comical and I don't like it.
Doctor Who: Was Donna's grandpa also the newspaper seller from "Voyage of the Damned?"
I was just reading over at TWOP that apparently, they had Donna's dad from "The Runaway Bride" in a few eps from this upcoming season, but he passed away before he finished filming. So they replaced him with the already-cast and -filmed newspaper vendor from VotD, whom they made into her grandfather.
Sharp eyes by my standards -- I just figured they went to the RSC Central Casting department and got yet another Kindly Old British Gent with a list of credits longer than half of Hollywood.
Also, I do like that whole wall of books he has. Nice design.
I was lusting after that myself! And Josef is, by far, the very best part of that entire series for me.
