that's probably extreme (but that's the closely comparable I can make that I think we all have seen).
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Hmm, I managed to not watch the X-Files (so, no good frame of reference) and you've got me wondering whether the Strain on my DVR should be watched before deleting. I read the first book of the series and didn't have a problem, but that's not the same thing as someone presenting me with pictures that I can't remove without extra-strength brainbleach.

ET, you probably were a bit better prepared for what was to come. I suspect you might handle it better than I did. Especially if Matt's white font is no big deal to you.

No visceral reaction to Matt's wf, no. Guess I'll give at least Ep1 a shot. I'm just getting more selective with the pictures I can let in, e.g. had to give up Hannibal & AHS. Go figure, Haunting Images actually haunting me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think you should go for it. I am interested in your reaction as someone who has read the source material.
I also would appreciate spoilers because the show also isn't what I thought it was going to be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
More weak and predictable
I really hated A.I., and also have a general aversion to anything that combines Halle Berry with science fiction. So really, this show was doomed with me from the get-go. (If DH decides to keep watching I will probably hate-watch with him because I am a masochist like that.)

Oh NO.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Despite my violence squick, I'm the only one I know who wasn't at all disturbed by Home. Which itself might ought to be disturbing.

While I was creeped out, the only thing that really disturbed me was the Johnny Mathis murder scene of the sheriff. But I thought it was supposed to disturb me, so I liked it on that level (much like I will never be able to hear "Stuck in the Middle with You" without envisioning Michael Madsen dancing and slicing, but I don't have problem with that).

Yeah, that'd do it. I did think the kid was one of the least interesting things - like we were supposed to be surprised or creeped out, but really it was just, "saw this when it was Haley Joel Osment, kthxbai."
If DH decides to keep watching I will probably hate-watch with him because I am a masochist like that.
Sounds like its own kind of fun.
