Eureka comics - awesome! Very much looking forward to that.
Stargate: Universe. Huh. I guess I mourned the 'verse too early. Or maybe not. We'll see, I guess!
Slap my hand now!

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Huh. Is there a place to talk about shows still in planning? The spoiler threads say they're for currently running shows, and I'd kind of like to discuss the Stargate spinnoff if anyone else is interested.

Let's create a thread! I'm SO VERY kidding.
I'd be interested in discussing it, too, though. Can't brain where. Here in whitefont? I dunno.

Ah, well, I've got to run and do family stuff now anyway. Strangely enough, they involve getting an old Highlander episode going for Dad. I come by my fannish nature honestly.

I heard elsewhere the SGA was to some extent a victim of its own success. Popularity meant the actors could demand more pay which drove expenses up faster than additional ratings drove up advertising revenues. Plausible or bullshit?

"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
I'm skeptical. David Hewlett has to know he will never again have a job where the producers are willing to focus so intently on his character for so long, and I don't see Joe Flanigan being eager to contend again for a world record in failed pilots per year like he was doing before SGA stuck. Also, my impression was that Jason Momoa was done whether or not the series got picked up.
I'd tend to chalk it up to the American dollar losing so much ground to the Canadian one more than anything—shooting in Vancouver is no longer a big savings to anyone's budget.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Just watched the Fringe pilot. It's *very* House-meets-Alias-WITH-PACEY, and as such, I will watch it in spite of the absolutely dire first half hour. (It takes a while for the show to get funny, and even longer after that for the show to get to the point. But by the end I was really getting into it.)

Naturally, as soon as I bitch about SGA, tonight's ep is pretty good, despite groaning over the previews for it. Especially since the McShep ship is back. And Dr. Keller is somehow not annoying. But, they're making me care, dammit.
I'll wait for them to screw that all up in the next ten minutes.

This. Damn it.
