I don't like the half hour break and not having any idea how they're going to get out of it.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Over at TWOP people caught Shakespeare in Baltar's sermon - did you guys? I don't know Shakespeare well enough to catch a random quote; plus, he was difficult to hear.
I caught the phrase "undiscovered country," which pinged me because, well, yeah, that's from Hamlet.
This was the first episode of BSG in a while that I've been really interested in. Less stupid romantic angst, more dramatic conflict! There we go!

Okay, I've only watched the Tate/Tennant so far and it's HYSTERICAL. Such delight.
That's Catherine Tate's most famous character from her comedy series, "I'm not bovvered" Lauren. Who died in the last series but whose gravestone read "Still not bovvered". Oh, should I have whitefonted that?

I shouldn't even be in here before watching BSG, but I'm so traumatised by SJA! Poor Maria! Poor Sarah Jane! Poor Dad! Poor entire planet Earth!
Forget poor entire planet Earth, I'm pretty sure Sarah Jane saved the Doctor's life several times back in the old series. And as the Master once said, a universe without the Doctor doesn't bear thinking about.

I have no idea where we're up to on that.

tries to not read about BSG and Doctor Who. fails spectacularly. shrugs.
Hi folks! Am busy watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and so far am enjoying it quite a lot. In some ways it feels like it bookends with Supernatural, if that makes any sense? The latter being mostly All About The Boys and the monsters, the former being All About The Girls and the robots? With both having a familial relationship as the driving, what, romance? (Um, using the term romance in a non-erotic way.) Sarah's got John Winchester beat on parenting skills, though. I think. Maybe.

oooh! what ep are you up to, Fay? SCC was probably my favorite new show this season.

Er, I think I've seen 4 eps? Maybe 5? I'm liking the strong (hot) female lead, Summer is always eminently watchable of course, and the boy is much less slappable than I'd been expecting. And I want to lick the FBI agent.

all good reasons to watch, but i fell for another character who shows up in ep 5. in fact, i wouldn't mind if they renamed the show after him because he's actually a hell of a lot more interesting for me than Sarah is.
