I'm a little late with this alert, but there are 2 episodes of Defiance tonight.
Angel: Lorne, you're— Lorne: Reliable as a cheap fortune cookie? Angel: I was gonna say a guy with good contacts…
'Shells'
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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Just in case anyone missed it or had it fall off their radar, the new season of Doctor Who starts tomorrow night.

Compassionately intolerant
Thanks for the heads up sj. I watched the first Defiance ep last night and was totally and completely unsatisfied! I'm confused and suddenly uninterested.
I'll try the next to see if it helps.
Anne, I'm on pins and needles! I feel like the build up in my own mind is so great, I may just be destined for meh.
I hope not!
I watched a few 10 episodes yesterday...Sigh.

My comment on Dominion: Should really be called "Bad-Touched by an Angel"

Ha! On another board someone remarked they wished Roma Downey would show up as a murderous angel on the show.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That would be hilarious. ALthough I don't really know what she looks like so I'd need to have it explained to me if it happened, but theoretically very funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Imagine them coming after you.

Is the new season of Doctor Who going to be on Hulu soon after it airs? I googled a bit and couldn't find a definite yes or no.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
Huh. I was going to watch and post the new Who, but I forgot. And I guess everyone else did too?
So...so far it's OK? not sure we needed another 90-minute special but whatever. I guess we'll have a better idea how things are shaking out next week.
Vastra and Jenny kissing on a 25-foot movie screen. I can't wait til Monday.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
PETER CAPALDI YAY. I'm not sure I'm a hugging person any more! There should be more round things on the walls!
That's really all I have to say. I know many people were fans of Matt Smith, but he was never ever my Doctor, and Peter Capaldi is like a bitter cold snap of fresh air. (Now we just need to lose Clara and bring in a grown-up companion, and I'll be the happiest curmudgeonly Who fan alive.)
I did not need to see Matt Smith's horrible old-age makeup again. Ugh.
