'War Stories'
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.
Yeah, I think I'm happy with the set up for next season and just not worrying about whatever was going on before will probably be fine.
I do feel like if I sat down and marathoned the whole thing I might actually get it. Or get more. But I probably will not find the opportunity to do that.
I'm seriously jonesing for more Orphan Black - I was missing it so much tonight. Label me hooked by the clone club.
Not surprisingly, Constantine can't smoke on TV.
They could have him recently quit, and that would make him nicely irritable (even more than normal), and they could still have the cancer storyline. That storyline is a defining part of the character, not sure how they'll write around it if they can't do it.
Well, smoking isn't the only reason people get lung cancer it's just one of the most-common.
True, Kalshane, but it kinda mattered that he did it to himself.
Understood. I'm only familiar with the character in passing (but looking forward to the show) but I can understand that the why makes a difference.
Next thing you know, you can't have sex outside of marriage, get drunk, murder or rape people on TV, and that will stop all of that from happening in real life.
Actually, while I think it's cool to stop presenting characters smoking, since it is such an accessible vice for kids to get into (and every time I see a character onscreen smoking, I want a butt), it seems a bit silly when it's not just a whim of new writers, but a character trait and plot point (and also and in-built PSA: hey kids, don't smoke -you'll get lung cancer!) of an established character beyond the network.
I'd also assume that Constantine is primetime, so all that other stuff we don't want minors seeing or emulating will still be there.
(and also and in-built PSA: hey kids, don't smoke -you'll get lung cancer!)
Maybe the worry is that kids will get into calling up demons as a way to avoid the consequences of smoking?
Under the Dome: Last night's episode seemed like a completely different show from last season, as in a good one. Probably because Stephen King wrote it. I'm skeptical of the show's ability to keep it up for the rest of the season. And I'm pissed off that they killed at least one (possibly two) of the characters I actually like, while Junior lives.
