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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've only seen Seasons 1 and 2, and then random bits and bats from later seasons. Because the DVDs are so bloody expensive.

I was thinking of getting into Farscape years ago, but the cost deterred me (I hadn't seen any Farscape, so it seemed like too much of a gamble). But then season 1 came out on iTunes for $39.99, so I downloaded that. Then I bought season 2 from Amazon for $79.99 (it's $149.99 retail). Fay, can you get it from iTunes or Amazon where you are?

You used to be able to get the season box sets for close to $20 cheaper at Deep Discount (IIRC), but I don't know if that's still the case.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I can't really stick up for The Locket on any kind of objective level, but it made me cry. A lot. So I can't hate it.

Sadly, Deep Discount is now selling them for a $1 more than Amazon. And they don't carry season 3 (they do have 4).

You want the Starburst editions where you can find them - those tend to be cheaper on Deep Discount.

(Season 1 starburst editions are impossible to find and season 2 is getting there but you should find seasons 3 and 4 fairly easily. I just ordered my last two season 4 sets yesterday.)

What do the Starburst editions have that the regular DVDs don't?

I thought the Starburst editions had technical problems. I know the original releases had some irritating limitations (at least the first season or two), such as no way to start the second episode without ff-ing through the first, but I swear I remember the Startburst ones had lots of glitches (like many of the discs being unplayable).

The two-sided two disk versions were glitchy but then they switched and the newer ones are single-sided 4 disk versions. They have more extras and also subtitles.

Meanwhile - have Pushing Daisies and/or Moonlight completed a first-half-season thing? Whatever you call it? The thing you have where suddenly the season is interrupted for ages?

Moonlight? Really? Fay, I expected more from you. It's kind of dreadful. and not in a good way.
