OH MY GOD - we're into 8 seasons of Smallville?
!!!!!!!
....I guess I've been an internet geek for longer than I thought, then. Maybe ten years?
Gosh.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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.

Okay, so Sanctuary is a new show on SciFi channel appearing tonight.
Here are some comments about it. I'm trying it. I have nothing to lose.

Yes. TWOP is calling it Torchwood: North America or something similar.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I could get behind that, so I'll be giving it a try.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm assuming it's less gay, though. What isn't?

It surpasses my usual benchmark for broadcast gayness (Angel), so I'm thinking nothing since Starsky & Hutch.
Though I wouldn't mind the show taking a shot at the title if Kavan Smith reprised his role for the first broadcast episode...
ETA: He did, for much more screentime than the original webisode already. No gayness in evidence so far, but at least much better hair. And no David Hewlett doing his twitchy mumbling neurotic act, which I count as a pro for continued watching.

Because books.
I watched Sanctuary last night! It seemed a little workmanlike, but I enjoyed it. I don't watch Torchwood, though. Maybe I should? Is that a BBC show?

I enjoyed Sanctuary. I thought that Dr. Zimmerman was kind of Mastersish - what do you think? And it had Dee and Major Lorne!
Yeah, Torchwood is a BBC show.
Speaking of BBC shows: tomorrow BBCA is running a Life on Mars marathon. To prepare us for the premiere of the ABC LoM? To prepare us to be disappointed by the ABC LoM?

I really liked the actor playing Zimmerman, and Tapping was as great as ever.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The Sanctuary dialogue was often stilted and pretentious, but that may be partly because it was exposition heavy.
I'm willing to suspend belief on the question of whether there are monsters all around us. But having an embryo extracted and successfully frozen in the 1890s? Not so much.
The "virtual set" thing makes the whole show feel like a video game.
