See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

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.

May converge with interests of some buffistas. If you subscribe to Comcast/Xfinity, the On-Demand Sleepy Hollow has the entire pilot Episode off Gotham on the same (free) order - without commercials. I suspect they planned to post a trailer and instead posted the entire show. But I could bwrong'

When hulu+ says "modest ad load" what are we talking? 3 per episode or more?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

When hulu+ says "modest ad load" what are we talking? 3 per episode or more?

Same number of ad breaks, but they're only about 30-90 seconds long (instead of 4 minutes). And some shows have a "watch this 2 minute ad right now and your show will be played without interruptions" option, which is kind of nice.

Oh my, I finally got around to watching the S2 premiere again and I really cannot emphasize strongly enough how attractive Tom Mison is when he makes that face that he makes.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm in the ripped headless horseman seems wrong camp.

My thought was, "Fan service? The hell kinda fans do they think they have?"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And some shows have a "watch this 2 minute ad right now and your show will be played without interruptions" option, which is kind of nice.

I love that option. It's the "go to the bathroom and refill your drink" version.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I was just talking with D about how PERFECT casting Mison was. I love Beharie, don't get me wrong, but he is perfect on this show.

Thanks Jessica.

I'm looking at the advisability of switching from Netflix...which I quite like but does not feed my speed need when it comes to new episodes. It seems every option has its downsides though.

That's why I have them all: Hulu Plus, Netflix and Amazon Prime! Though I still have to wait for things like Mad Men and Doctor Who and Justified. Not feeling flush enough to buy the episodes.

I do see the advisability of this over cable...which I could not do without a tv obviously.

But, I'm worried about overlapping and STILL not getting what I really want...like Doctor Who on game day!

I keep telling myself that this is an alternate universe

Yeah, that's the only way it works for me.

But it was fun! Which is all I need. And I totally recognized Timothy Busfield, except I couldn't remember his name and kept saying, "Danny Concannon is Ben Franklin!" to my uncomprehending dog.
