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.
Thoughts on the Sci Fi Anniversary Special
A) I miss Eureka. It was my feel good SF show, with that basic optimism that scientific and technological advances might bring unexpected pitfalls and dangers but they are ultimately meant to improve people's lives and dammit we will make them do that. I don't have anything to fill that niche right now.
2) what is up with Ben Browder's hair? I actually think he's carrying it off, but it doesn't look like a personal choice, somehow.
iii) Anna Silk is prettier out of character. Huh.
and finally - I am really looking forward to Defiance! I'm not into the multi-platform of it all ( that is, I think it's a good idea but I'm not going to play the game or whatever) but I love humans and aliens building communities together and it looks gorgeous.
Ben Browder still had his Doctor Who Old West hair. . .
I agree that Anna Silk is prettier out of chaacter.
I am really looking forward to Defiance too and to (finally) getting to see Continuum.
I wondered if that was Who hair, but I didn't remember it being so...like that. Different out of context, probably.
Continuum does look good. It reminds me of something but I can't quite remember what.
I noticed that in addition to the Dr. Who hair (has no one learned the lesson that facial hair just Does Not Work on this man?!?) Ben was looking pretty shockingly rough compared to when I last saw him regularly onscreen. Either he's blown through his winnings from the genetic lottery or Francesca's illness has really taken a toll on him.
Kind of surprising to me that the SG-1 footage made me nostalgic, but there was no corresponding yearning for more from SGA. I think that crappy final season broke my attachment to the series.
Defiance
does look interesting. I love that it's set in St. Louis. And the alien lady with Grant Bowler reminds me of the alien character from Crusade.
"The corner of O'Neil and Adams", heh.
"The corner of O'Neil and Adams", heh.
That made me laugh.
Also, I totally overlooked the possibility that Daddy Merlyn (despite his name) could actually be an archer, and therefore Merlyn.
Well done, show. Well done. (Even if I don't totally buy Barrowman as an archer. Or, more specifically, as Merlyn.)
I'm still ridiculously invested in Tommy and Laurel being a couple. I can't even explain why.
I have been pleasantly surprised at how close the arrow-shooting is to my mental image of Green Arrow.
I don't want there to be a romantic triangle between Laurel, Tommy, and Oliver, no matter what her name (btw, Speedy is a weird random nickname for a kid sister, but anyway). I want Tommy to be a basically decent guy, and I want him and RubyLaurel to have little bratty babies together.

Oh my god, no. I really don't want the show to do the predictable thing and break up Tommy and Laurel because of Ollie. (Besides, Ollie can get with not!Oracle. That would be fine. Because she is awesome.)
I did actually think that Walter was going to get killed, so I was pleasantly surprised the show didn't go down that predictable road.
Arrow casting: Colton Haynes.
