Angel ,'Conviction (1)'
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Jessica, I didn't think he was. He looked normal (young) to me.
It was funny, because I was just thinking that however much I was loving Capaldi (and I was), I also sort of missed Matt Smith, and then there was his voice! And there he was! Unconventional, and I liked it .
I guess it's the first time Moffat has done both ends of a regeneration, and with the same companion, so it sort of made sense.
Capaldi was wonderful, and super Scottish, but I'm still having trouble getting my head around the fact that he is the oldest doctor starting out, ever. Older than Hartnell!
The website I sometimes contribute to has another Who piece up:
I am enjoying Capaldi muchly, and I like that he is really good at tweaking Clara.
Like the new version of the theme but not sure what I think about the new visuals - a little too on-the-nose.
