Giles, help! He's going to scold me!

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

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.

From way back

Anyone watching Metal Hurlant Chronicles? Would you recommend it?

I haven't been watching it, but now that I know it's an anthology show I've decided to start. I think I can catch the already aired episodes On Demand (in my copious free time, but whatever, there's free space on my DVR).

Wait, February, like two months ago? Dang, that is fast.

I like the idea of bringing in another Grimm that knows even less than Nick, I think.

Anyone watching Metal Hurlant Chronicles? Would you recommend it?

Your question motivated me to watch it as my workout TV last night. Worst writing i've seen in a SyFy series in a long time. Does anyone remember a comic years ago, translated from the French. Amazing graphics, mostly awful writing (with very few exceptions)? Heavy Metal? Well the writing is like bad imitation Heavy Metal, makes the writing for the comic book seem like Tim Minear by comparison. Except, unlike Heavy Metal , Metal Hurlant is not that visually stunning. My advice don't waste your time. The writers on Metal Hurlant could take lessons in character development and plot logic from the writers of Lost Girl. Yeah, MH is that bad IMO. They do choose pretty people, but if you want to seem pretty people in badly written roles there are plenty of other choices.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Heavy Metal was the American edition of the French magazine Metal Hurlant.

No wonder it reminded me. Well, it is done on the cheap. As I said the writing is worse than your typical Heavy Metal comic. And the graphics not as stunning. BTW was "Heavy Metal" a version? I always assumed from some of the phrasing that it was a direct translation.

I'm liking it more than that (turns out my free time was unexpectedly copious today). Enough to recommend, I don't know if I'd go that far, but it's fine. And I like that each episode is just half an hour. That sounds backhanded, but I mean it sincerely - it's a nice little morsel of syfy.

Because books.

Just caught up to current on Orphan Black. This show is amazing.

Mrs. S does not fuck around. Jesus.

Right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Aw, Peter Outerbridge and Julian Richings! This show just got 1000% more Canadian.
