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 kind of don't dislike Keller personality-wise so much as completely not buy her as a medical chief of staff, what with the sucking absence of gravitas and leadership skills. If she were a hotshot prodigy surgeon that was interacting with the main characters because she was good at patching injuries up rather than a multi-discipline genius in charge of everything, we'd be golden.
Well, except that the writing is telegraphing her character as the hot trophy babe for authorial insert Rodney so loudly (without actually bothering to, say, let them date before declarations of love got handed down) that Alexander Graham Bell is yelling from his grave for them to tone it down.
Head's up: Merlin starts on BBC1 at 7:30 pm British time tonight. ASH, Richard Wilson (the doctor from "The Empty Child") and Eve Myles all star, and if the kid playing Merlin looks familiar, it's because he's also a Who alumnus ("Midnight"). Advance reviews are a bit mixed, though.
Oooh! My recently-ex boss's neice, Angel, plays Guinevere in this, apparently! Which isn't to say it won't be pants, but I'm still rooting for them.
And it's coming to NBC mid-season.
Watched Primeval. The raptors were nice. I don't get why the tranqs didn't work on them properly.
I still think that with the bat-rats from the future in the past there would be no humans. Ohh, maybe in a future episode Cutter will discover that his colleagues only look like h. sapiens sapiens and that they are actually rat-bats.

Yeah, you think? I'm a pretty enthusiastic Rodney fan, but honestly, are we really supposed to buy that she'd pick Rodney over Ronon? Hellloooo, wish fulfillment.
Jewel Staite insisted at DragonCon that it made perfect sense. I think most of the audience disagreed.
Maybe Ronon's a really bad kisser.
(Yeah, I got nothing.)
have any of you seen this? it's from DragonCon and yes, that's Jewel Staite. i found it here where the construction of the whole costume is shown. people are so effin creative!

I can see how Rodney's good nerdy qualities could appeal to someone more than Ronon's good laconic he-man qualities, despite the obvious inequity in physical appeal. However, since the former are bundled with egotism, hypochondria, and enough whinging to put an Emo 14-year-old girl to shame, there's no way in hell.
Rodney gives me more WFTH moments than any protagonist on any show I've watched in ten years. How do the writers not see this?
