If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

Buffy ,'Selfless'


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.

Weird. Not sure where I got my misconception from.

Cylon Forum, perhaps?

Did Moonlight fail because they "defanged" the Vampire myth too much?

BSG ratings are up!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Blood Ties had the same fate with a very "fanged" Vampire myth. I do worry that despite the Sarah Connor Chronicles success, with the cancellation of BT, Moonlight, Dresden Files, Journeyman, New Amsterdam (deservedly), Jericho, and probably another that I'm forgetting, that any experiment into shows with a supernatural flair will have been deemed a failure in the bigger picture. Jericho wasn't supernatural, but it was definitely alternate universe.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

the cancellation of BT, Moonlight, Dresden Files, Journeyman, New Amsterdam (deservedly), Jericho,

well, aside from BT, which never should have been on Lifetime, and Dresden Files, those shows all had other issues.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

The track record of those shows certainly don't seem to be hurting the genre shows that are showing up EVERYWHERE on the 2008/2009 schedule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

those shows all had other issues.

What do you mean by other issues? Is there something in the track history I'm missing?

Do all those shows have comparable ratings?
