Cordelia ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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 doubt it. A big name producer might be able to say "Oh HELL no" and get something like that changed, but in general the content producers and the marketing team don't have a whole lot to do with each other.
That's what I always thought. And pretty much confirms my rat-dick low opinion of Fox.
everyone in this thread who's taken issue with the boobie poster has also watched the show.
Well, not I. I didn't watch the show, not after seeing that poster. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Mind you, it was not a thought-out response, wherein my carefully reasoned feminist principles forced me to boycott the show and recruit others for the same purpose. It was a gut level, wanted to enjoy the show, but after seeing the poster, I just could not sit in front of it. Daniel watched it, and nothing in his reaction to it made me overcome my squick.
I didn't watch the show, not after seeing that poster.
Okay, my mistake.
I can't lecture people about squick responses, but the poster doesn't have that much to do with the show. So any abstention seems best seated as a principle thing, not as taking the poster as an indication of content.
It's getting scary in here...
A writer from c.s.i. will now be writing for Reaper.
Apparently, Reaper also has a former L&O:SVU staffer.
Jessica, I was replying to WindSparrow and I never said that the show should be given a pass for anything.
I was just saying that it was a fun action show and it was too bad that the ad that some saw as sexist kept a couple people from enjoying the show.
Apparently, Reaper also has a former L&O:SVU staffer.
The creators for Reaper, Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas, were staff writers for L&O:SVU for several years. They were possibly the best writers that show ever had. And that's all I have to say about my sad and embarrassing L&O:SVU addiction (now thankfully in the past.)
I remember Michelle Fazekas, because before she wrote for L&O she was a peon for The X-Files, and as with all good peons she got a character named after her.
Which is good, because now I've heard how it's pronounced, because it's one of those names that, looking at it, I'd be hard-pressed to guess where the emphasis goes.
