Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

What's the Farscape episode with the dream sequence where John and Aeryn get married and then everyone dies bloody?

There is a lot I do not understand about Defiance, but I enjoyed all the characters who got to step up and be heroic in various ways.

I'm totally confused by Defiance myself.

I like the characters a lot but had to bang my head quite hard when the solution for a season-long crisis ended up being so...I dunno...lame?

The BigBad, omnipotent, cruel, serpent of badness is defeated by two people lying down next to each other for 5 seconds.

I was okay with the struggle being all internal with Irisa and Malachi getting Last Temptationed. I don't get what happened when with the previous lives or whatever they were.

More than a little disappointed that Amanda slept with creepy mayor dude.

I really don't like the new Doctor. I'm trying but he's not working for me.

I like Capaldi well enough, but I don't like what seems to be some serious revisionist crap on the Doctor's....morality? ethics? Whatev.

One HUNDRED percent this. Seriously. What the ever-loving are the writers thinking.

I like that actor just fine...because of Primeval...but holy cow that made me mad. So, the creepy, stalky rapist wins? All over the place. The doctor lies for him and the mayor lies with him. Feh.

===

I do like the new doctor, but I'm just as, if not more disappointed with the writing so far. The first half of tonight's episode had me smiling but the last half seemed less coherent.

I like the Danny character and am curious which direction that will go, though I am a bit wary of the potential for amped up romance. I actually love romance as entertainment, but don't think Doctor Who really needs it. There is so much more going on in the Universe to focus on!

The Doctor doesn't take soldiers as companions? Leela might have something to say about that.
