Angel ,'Shells'
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.
So I watched Helix. Did anyone else see this show?
I watched it because of Javi. The pilot and second episode didn't really draw me in, but I'll give it a couple more to see if it hooks me. At the very least, I know this story will be wrapped up at the end of the season. But, like you said, I can't really tell what the hell the threat is supposed to be. And I do like contagion plots.
Dracula: I watched half of two episodes and never got back to it. Helix, I have not started and probably won't. In terms of Dracula, I wonder if someone might not be able to make a really good mini-series out of the original, sticking for the most part of Bram Stoker's plot. They could also include the journey where Harker is almost killed by um I don't remember a werewolf, before he got to the castle. It never made it into the book, but was published seperately in a collection.
do you have any idea why Lady Jane is spending so much time playing mind games with Lucy
No idea. Honestly, pick a character, I don't understand his or her motivation.
Finally caught up on Almost Human. I still don't care much about the plot and wish Stahl would be fleshed out into more than just the generic love interest, but the show is frequently hilarious. I could watch Dorian and Kennex bust each other's balls all day long.
The show also doesn't seem to know what it wants to be tonally, when, for example, you have this plot involving people being extorted via black market organs, which plays up the victims' dread and loss, but then you also have this (admittedly very funny) Looney Tunes chain-reaction sight gag in the middle of the episode.
Dracula: I'm still watching. It's nice to look at and, once I stopped expecting any adherence to the book, enjoyable.
New Sleepy Hollow tonight!
New Lost Girl tonight too!
Oh, yeah?
Thank you, remote DVR programming technology.
Did anyone catch last week's premiere of Teen Wolf? I really liked it. It felt like whoever wrote it may have been a fan of Buffy's Restless.
Also a new Syfy series called Bitten starts tonight. It's about a female werewolf.
