My tivo tells me that episode 6 of Torchwood is going to run at 2 am on the 24th of February or just 6 hours after episode 5.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Moonlight? Really? Fay, I expected more from you. It's kind of dreadful. and not in a good way
Well, you know, I'm not expecting it to be good. Clearly it's no Angel. But - pretty boys being slashy. Urban vampires. Keep in mind that I still find myself buying the Anita Blake books out of a sort of morbid, carcrash fascination (although that Kenyon woman's stuff was too risible and cheesy for me to tolerate, even for comedy value)...I'm prepared to shell out a couple of quid on pirate DVDs for a look-see. I'll give Moonlight a crack, at a pinch, even if only to roll my eyes - I liked whatsisface on Veronica Mars, and I'd be happy to watch him having a crack at the Undead schtick.
(What I really want, in this genre, is more Blood Ties, of course. I do enjoy Huff's books enormously, and the TV show was very likeable.)
Pushing Daisies, on the other hand, simply sounds splendid, and very very much my cup of tea.

Compassionately intolerant
Moonlight turned out to be more fun than I expected. Predictable and depth-free, but pretty and sweet in moments. Testimony to my willingness to just enjoy certain things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In Ashes to Ashes 2 I'm a little taken aback that she was so wrong on her second case--wasn't whatisname right on all of his? And I'm a lot taken aback at how she dresses. Harrumph.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, ita, she wasn't so wrong. She did peg the kid as having the potential to be a bomber, which her mom didn't at all. I think Sam was pretty much always right on his cases, though, even when Gene was still somewhat right. Then again, Philip Glenister gets top billing on this show, so I guess he gets to be more right more often.
I liked this episode more. It felt more like a real episode (as happens with non-pilots), and I like that Alex has to deal with her mother and that they gave us a sort of endgame for this season, if not the series (attempting to save her parents).

I wouldn't be pissed at her being wrong in Ashes if not for him being right so much in his series. I think he was righter than Gene every single time.
Ashes to Ashes was the first music video I ever saw, when I first visited London in the early eighties. This show will always creep me out because of that.

not your mom's socks.
dear TV.
Please to tell the producers of The Signal to either suck on it or give some audio warning at the start of their commercial.
Am watching Torchwood - loves watching Torchwood. Strobe effects give migraines that make watching Torchwood impossible. Please to see above.
many thanks,
asshat viewer who cares.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Okay, I was really enjoying Torchwood except for when Rhys, after having seen a gigantic alien, refuses to believe that Gwen catches aliens for a living (otherwise that was a great argument). Handwaved that and then got to Owen suddenly deciding, all on his lonesome, that, as Team Torchwood is winning, to kill the sweet defenseless sentient alien whale/slug thing. The hell?!
I gave up on the last several minutes at that point.
