Spike ,'Showtime'
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.
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.
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.
really? four times? you need to air that four times in a single ep?
seriously! I think they are trying to induce psychosis!
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.
They were going to try to sedate it, but it had grown too big, so they euthanized it instead.
seriously! I think they are trying to induce psychosis!
psychosis where we all turn into zombies and go out to see the movie... instead of ... er. actual psychosis.
Yeah. Too much art imitating life in my actual life. Causing pain. No love.
Yeah - the ending was turbulent, but there were some parts that really kicked ass. I was explaining to DH about how this was such a great show- and how there were competing relationships that made things complicated, when the catfight/who can be more worthy battle broke out in the conference room. And I almost yelled Jack! FTW! But really. Because then I'll have to explain cheering for Jack. And here I go... off to do just that.
I get the euthanising--it's not a far leap to see the poor thing as past it, plus hella hard to move and house--I know they try and portray a sense of huge storage volume at the hub, but I'm not buying it, and the cells are uniformly small.
Yeah, it was the size of a blimp. I can't imagine they could get it into the hub.
One of my favorite things about this episode was Gwen and Rhys' fights. They're painful and vicious, the kind of fights people have when they've had years to learn where their partner's sore spots are.
Can we take a moment for the bad assedness that is Ianto? My original copy had bad audio in that one scene towards the end where he takes the baddies out, so I'm eagerly waiting for the reshowing here in the Pacific timezone so I can hear it right and proper.
