It struck me as a low-rent Men In Black. Wanted to like it more than I did.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Men in Black with Chuck overtones. I hated it. First twenty minutes were some of the slowest TV minutes I've watched in a long time, and I didn't find anything funny. Some of the stuff was clever, but too self conscious for me to enjoy it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Genrally speaking, these days I regard Matt Keeslar's participation in a project to be a warning signal of horrible quality. Quite adeparture from a few years back when he did The Last Days of Disco and Urbania.

damn, looked him up on imdb. I don't remember him in Jekyll (BBC), but I think they have the wrong video clip or something.

DW 4.10: I don't have much to say either, except ooof. That was intense.

DW 4-10:
Oof, indeed. I couldn't watch the Confidential afterward right away. I had just had enough of all of those people for on enight. Extremely claustrophobic and aggaravating and intense.
I found it interesting that one of the less sympathetic characters (IMHO), the hostess, was the one that sacrificed herself to save them all. Also, she was the one who creepily insisted that she could indeed throw Skye out of the ship.
I hated and pitied them all.

The Chicago Tribune column that talks about the plan for a 3-hour series finale for BSG. (I had heard that we were getting 12 hours next year but the Trib actually says 11.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The beauty of this episode is in its urgency, in the tumbling breathless slide that lands us on that grim gray unfamiliar beach... It's so gray, in fact, that I think it earns the British spelling. It's grey, which is even worse.
And, thankfully, she clarifies what Baltar said while thanking Laura. He loves living. Geez, enunciate, Callis.
