Has anyone else watched this "Fear Itself" series? I started watching because it sounded interesting, but I'm now quite irritated with it. They made it sound like a new take on horror ... but I'm finding that they're just reworking themes that have been done before. And not reworking them well enough to justify doing them (in my opinion). bah.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was excited about it because of Colin's episode, which was...not bad. But I petered out somewhere in last week's ep, and some of them have been downright laughable. But with last week's girl tormented by zombies, all I was doing was looking at the costuming and set design, especially the blood spatter. There was no caring going on there.

And it turned out that she was the zombie.
Last night's episode had Brendan Routh and Shiri Appleby and it felt more like the Twilight Zone than Horror. But, much less surprising than the Twilight Zone. (Next week's is the last one they are going to air - I guess it's not doing well in the ratings.)

Darn. The next episode after the last one they're showing is the werewolf one directed by John Landis' son.

The one that had bloodied up the apartment? She sure had a lot more control over herself than Mrs Kimble or whoever the woman was that who bashed her head all over the door.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think she only thought she had control, if that makes any sense.

Right. We were seeing everything from her p.o.v. - she wasn't really as much in control as it seemed.

Huh. Weird. I might actually finish it now, at least on FF.
