Closed Film and TV threads

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Or your local library may be able to access it.

Hey, would you kids like some drugs? They're free and they're real nice.

How much is Hulu Plus? It may be worth it.

Well, crap. Josh Friedman, the showrunner behind Sarah Connor Chronicles, had another show lined up with NBC, and the network just axed it. [link]

Pity. I'm not a huge Oz fan, but I would have given it a shot, for Friedman's sake.

Hmmm, Acorn is 4.99 a month. They don't have Doctor Who, but they've got oodles of other Brit TV.

I hadn't realized he was the same showrunner as SCC. That's too bad.

Yep, my comment was on unaired footage and the rest was hedging the bet. Honestly I feel like I can't win whitefont-wise, so I err on the side of caution.

Ok, so I finally saw the new Doctor Who. That was mildly entertaining but not awesome, and although I had trouble seeing the Doctor in Capaldi in the beginning, he was there in the end. Not sure I understood why we had to have Madame Vastra scolding Clara about her relationship with the Doctor, that was odd.

And that fight scene was far from believable.

In other news, Capaldi is the same age that Hartnell was when he took the role. 55 then and 55 now: [link]

I'll say this much, the new opening looks great on the big screen.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

BTW I quite liked the dinosaur. The Doctor saw the dinosaur, not as a monster, but as a woman trapped in a alien world, far from home. When she died, he (still seeing her as a person) wondered not who would have the power to kill a creature so awesome, but whether there had been any similar murders. So the show does a much better job than it usually does of showing the doctor has a truly alien viewpoint, while at the same time showing that it is essentially a humane (unfortunate root to that word in this context) viewpoint when properly understood. Really good bit of "show, not tell".
