Oz ,'First Date'
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'm watching Bright Young Things, and who do I see? The actress who played Agatha Christie on DW (Fenella Woolgar). And what is her name on BYT? Agatha! /random
David Tennant was also in BYT, and they've worked together on a couple of other things too. He recommended her for the part of Agatha Christie.

Yup! Saw him and his horrendous mustache.
I think it telling of great story-telling as well as acting that the characters and relationships I liked most were between G'Kar and Londo. Those were two high-caliber actors, and maybe they got the better dialogue, or maybe they transcended it, I don't know, but those two especially ruled. Or maybe it was, yes, the given alien-ness of their costume that made what they had to say that much more acceptable.
Wordy McWordenstein.
...I was always a wee bit creeped out by Delenn's decision to have surgery (or whatever) in order to look more human. It made her look kind of freaky to me, when she acquired hair.
sigh ... I had a real affection for B5. I think the two (G'kar and Londo, Katsulas and Jurasik) worked so well because they had each other to play off - they were well matched in their skill and experience, so each could work with the other's strength.
And the whole Delenn thing struck me as dumb and kind of pointless. I assumed it was because they wanted some kind of romantic storyline for her and how could a human feel love for a bald chick?
I think it was more about biology than hair -- so they could have a child together. Which was probably more crucial in the original plan than it ended up being on the show, but so it goes. I'm almost positive that up until shooting she was going to be a male character and change sexes as well.
...I need to borrow the scriptbooks from my brother.
Strega, I think you're right. From what I've read Delenn was supposed to start out as male. They tried to do something with the voice in the pilot that didn't work so well, so when the series started the character was female.
Was the plan to have her start male, then change gender to be with Sheriden?
Well, the original plan was that it would be Sinclair, but yes.
So the romantic scenes could have been much worse.
Did anyone else notice that SciFi is now burning off Charlie Jade at 3 am on Monday mornings?
I watched the first two episodes and was going to hang around to see if the show gets better. Does it?

I had heard that after episode 8, when the show changed showrunners or somesuch, that if got better. I don't know if I can take the slow agony that was the first two eps for another six.
I thought it was also airing Friday nights at 8pm, did they move it?
