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.
Mulder and Scully are back on my tv screen so I'm happy.
This overwhelmed all else. That said, I can get pickier. It had the eye rolling feeling of watching a pilot episode, but I forgave that quickly enough. The only thing that really took away from the warm and fuzzy feelings of having new X-Files on my tv was the 'in your face' scenes between Mulder and Scully. There were 2 or 3 close up scenes where they were interacting that just seemed flat to me. I don't know what emotion they were going for, but it didn't work. I'll likely watch again so I can be more specific, but more than once I had to tilt my head and wished they had done another take.
But, but, but.... X-Files!
Since the first run of the X-Files, the word "mansplaining" has entered my vocabulary. Yeah, I'm looking at you, McHale, as you tell Scully all about alien abductions.
I'm lucky that my neighbor gave me a heads up on football, as the show started nearly half an hour late. But I set my DVR for an hour extra on the end, so it's all good.
Will I pick things apart? Sure. But it's so nice to have new episodes to watch again.
I set my DVR to record the news broadcast after so I caught it all, but I can imagine there are quite a number of people that recorded football.
Did anyone else lol when the doo-doo-doo spooky music started right as Scully looked at the portrait of W?
This makes me so happy, I can overlook all the places where it stumbled a bit. Mulder+Scully+WeirdSh!t=4Evah
It was really fun to see them back on screen again, and Mitch Pileggi looks amazing. Also, they didn't change the credits or the tagline! Amazing!
So, watching the new show "Lucifer" and just figured out that the female cop on the show played Lori on Hawaii Five-0. Girl was an albatross for two seasons (and not just because the brought her on as a love interest for Steve, but they had NO chemistry*) Suspect she's going to be just as bad here.
When is Hollywood going to get over pretty blond cops paired up with formerly evil guys? (see alsoAngel and Moonlight)
Supergirl
Enjoyed most of the episode, but Senator KellyCrane's about-face on mutantsaliens seemed a little too easy. You think her guards being murdered and her being kidnapped by a shape-shifting alien would make her more afraid of aliens, not less, Supergirl's actions be damned.
Hiring Bailey Chase doesn't instill confidence in the Lucifer producers' commitment to acting excellence either.
Tom Ellis is really swinging for the bleachers on channeling Tim Curry in Rocky Horror, isn't he?
Hiring Bailey Chase doesn't instill confidence in the Lucifer producers' commitment to acting excellence either.
in all fairness, he was supposed to be bad.
we got nearly everything on the list, except for the pencils in the ceiling.
Did you mean that you didn't have them on your list? Because they were there in the ep, when Skinner and Mulder walked into the old office.
