Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
I just rewatched TNG's "The Inner Light", and now I think I'm going to be crying all day.
OMG yes.
In other 20 year old sci fi TV news, I have started Babylon 5 season 5. I bailed before Season 5 when I watched it 10 years ago. G'Kar continues to be awesome, and Tracy Scoggins's eyes and teeth freak me out.
I was obsessed with glass armonicas for a while, but that was rather a long time ago, so my factual recall is suspect. Ben Franklin invented them. I want to say Mozart wrote for them. Some people thought the sound could make you lose your marbles.
It's an awfully clever idea.
I just watched a B7 episode that got me--the one where Tarrant's brother figts on behalf of a realm of planets while Avon suspects it's rigged, and Tarrant is tapped into his brother's experiences, and Dayna is feeling the opponent's feeling and Avon is trying to block Servalan...and the brother dies while his bro is plugged in and...aieee! I didn't expect feels from Blakes 7! I thought they'd atrophied, at least.
Nora: I hated Tracey Scoggins SO MUCH. Season 5 of Bab5 was such a failure, I swear.
the cop that hates McCoy was complaining to a female cop, wasn't he? Or was he complaining to Minka?
He was complaining to Minka.
Nora, do yourself a favor and fast-forward any time the guy with the blond ponytail is speaking.
Edgar Wright - director of Cornetto trilogy, Spaced, has a cute childhood pic of himself as Number 5?

Too late, but at least now I've seen his fiery death.

Yeah, that's why I didn't watch it the first go-around. Tom did not speak highly of it. But I wanted to be a completest this time. (Will likely also track down the pilot and TV movies too.)
The other thing is that it's like JMS figured out that since they were on basic cable at this point, we could see Scoggins in her underwear all the time. It's like, c'mon, man. Be cool. Don't make me sic Ivanova on you.
Thing about Tracey Scoggins, what else is there to do with her other than see her in her panties? Watch her act?
She did passably well on Lois & Clark as Lois' shallow, man-hungry co-worker and rival for Clark's affections. That role seems to be within her wheelhouse, though tough authoritative military commander is not.
I remember her most from Highlander, in which she was atrocious, and Dynasty, where you'd think she'd be able to flex the muscles you mention. But she sucked there too. Maybe she just hadn't developed them yet.
