Wash ,'Jaynestown'
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.
Sail and any other interested parties...
As a tv addict without a tv, the site that is my complete undoing is surf the channel dot com. It has pretty much everything I want to see. Hulu is also great, and tends to have a higher quality viewer but yeah...surf is my new techno boyfriend. The kind that makes you just want to curl up on the couch at home.
Pushing Daisies:
Joining the staff are Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts as writer/producers and Buffy writer Doug Petrie.
Zap2it's PD report from Comic-Con.
(Report is, of course, spoilery.)
Also from that report:
Comic-Con's Pushing Daisies panel couldn't be any more awesome if it were scripted. Not only is the rapt crowd treated to Kristin Chenoweth belting out a heartfelt rendition of "Over the Rainbow," but creator Bryan Fuller and his very attractive cast reveal a veritable pieful of goodies we'll be seeing this upcoming season.
Netflix the dvds when they come out.
But, But! I don't actually want to, you know, watch the show. I get annoyed at Who when the more in-your-face kid-friendly aspects show up (although if that's what saves Who from being season 1 Torchwood, I'm head-over-heels for the presence of that target demographic), and SJA looks like it's chock full of it. And the small bits I've seen left me bored and channel-surfing.
And to working mothers here, my comments regarding Teyla weren't knocking the hardship of the choice/balance, just the clunkiness of how they've written it/her. Just wanted to say that in case I looked insensitive to female cops/firefighters/soldiers/marines/etc who are also mothers.
you're welcome, Sail! i'll get them out in the mail tomorrow.
Recap of the Invasion of the Bane.
As much as I love Sarah Jane as a character, I do tend to zone out during the more kid-focused parts of her own show. But I wake back up for Liz Sladen's performance, which tends to be wonderfully nuanced for the material she's performing.
Plus, that eye-rolling fanfare that goes with Mr. Smith's appearance in every episode made for a good joke in "The Stolen Earth."
I was impressed at the sense of jeopardy that SJA would leave you with at their cliffhanger (once a week), especially towards the end of the season. Who is much less of a kids show these days, but I think SJA is a good fill-in in the universe.
I'm still shocked when I hear that Who is supposed to be a kids show, what with the death and the genocide and the omnisexuality and the occassional dancing. But I suppose perhaps it's more of a kids show inasmuch as The Muppet Show was ... sorta. And I suppose that if I had kids, I'd rather they watched Who as opposed to some of the other mind-numbing fanfare out there.
I think Who was more of a kids show back in the day, but I'm not sure it's being presented that way since its return.
