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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I haven't watched. I know the Ars Technica review nit-picked the hacking/tech stuff a bit (mostly in a "they got enough right that it actually made the errors more glaring" way.)

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

I've heard nothing but raves from the tech/hacker crowd. They did make one GLARINGLY hilarious Brooklyn geography error, but other than that I completely loved everything about it.

Are people watching Killjoys? I'm quite enjoying it.

Compassionately intolerant

Hulu plus won't gimme it after the pilot, which I quite liked as well.

I could never fill the Firefly shaped hole in my heart, but it's fun and the characters have promise.

I'm liking Killjoys a whole lot. It's my favorite currently airing scifi show, I think.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

killjoys is not doing a bad job of entering some of the samm story space as Firefly. Dark matter is not doing a bad job of entering of the same story space as Blake's 7. Not imitations or versions but ... Hard to define what I mean by story space. Influenced by without stealing from?

I'm really enjoying Dark Matter, and Killjoys is getting there.

And I've only seen the pilot so far of Mr Robot, but so far I'm really impressed (and have no hacker or Brooklyn geography skills to impede my enjoyment).

Other way around for me. Killjoys I have loved since it started, Dark Matter is growing on me.

Killjoys was s little too heavy on the Dark.Gritty...Whatever for me at first. Now that I'm starting to get to know them better, it's working for me better. I think Dark Matter just feels so familiar with its Firefly-esque vibe, it made me comfortable quickly.

I like how Defiance has the broken Arch in the titles now.
