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, I think the Avatar analogues are a bit of a hash. E.g., the Fire names are all basically Japanese-style (although the phonemic vocabulary is different), and there are political of Earth nations that are strongly Chinese (in spirit if not in details), but there are also vicey-versy elements.
(And also that random cabbage guy who shows up everywhere.)
But I think that's cool: it's a synthesis of several vague history/mythology systems into something new. Kinda like how the animals are (almost) all chimeras.
Also, it is the best show on TV for "Wait, I know that voice!" games. Everybody who has a cool or recognizable voice has been on that show, I swear.
Nikki Finke is reporting that WB might pick it up. It's a long shot.
WB? Like, the online version?
I meant CW. WB is the studio that makes it. Sorry.
That would be excellent.
BTW, REAPER totally rocked. I'm so looking forward to the finale - even though we're getting it post-baseball (i.e., at approximaltely 11:30 pm)
So the trailer for the American version of Life on Mars is online.

The earth is doomed. ::sigh::
The only thing that makes it remotely palatable is Colm Meaney as Gene Hunt. I think he can pull it off. The rest, not so much.
It...looks like a bad American version of
Life on Mars.
It's all so weird and wrong!
I know, it looks terrible! They took all the freakish ambiguity out of it and made it ... I don't know how to describe it. Primary colors, kind of.
Bah!
It feels like the pilot of the American
Office.
Too much like a carbon copy. I mean, they even used the same shot of Sam getting hit by the car.
Of course, the American
Office
proceeded to become awesome. I think it's the exception, though.
I actually think Sam seems okay, but Gene seems really subdued from what they showed. And the actress they got for Annie was in an episode of VM, so I like her from that.
