'Objects In Space'
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.
Anyone watch the American Life on Mars last night? I didn't hate it, but I don't know if I'll be adding it to my roster. It was disconcerting to watch a show that looked very much like the show I knew, and followed very nearly the same exact script, but with (inconsistent) New York accents instead of Mancunian accents. Well, and with no John Simm or Philip Glenister.
The moment with the Twin Towers was pretty well done, I thought.
Yeah, I saw it. There's been a bit of discussion in the Procedurals thread (wasn't sure if the discussion should be there or here).
ETA - I liked it, but I only saw a couple of random episodes of the original.
I think people are discussing the american LoM in procedurals, Kate. my reaction to the Twin Towers seems to be the exact opposite of everyone else. it pulled me out of the show and made me meta about them only using it to possibly gain more viewers who would watch to spot the Towers. that could be the pessimist in me though...
See, I thought it was the perfect way to indicate "we are not in 2008 anymore, Toto".
Oh, thanks for the heads up about the Procedurals thread. Moving my comments over there.
Written by Emmy-nominated The 4400 co-creator and executive producer Scott Peters, the new V was sold to ABC as a spec script.
The original NBC television mini-series, produced during the golden age of that format and later leading to a second mini-series and a short-lived spin-off weekly series in the '84-'85 season, centered on a race of lizard-like aliens who come to Earth disguised as humans with seemingly with friendly intentions, but literally and figuratively masking a hidden agenda. The original series' story very bluntly served as allegory to Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, going so far as to have characters that lived through that era recognize the aliens' methods and intentions.
Peters told Variety he won’t duplicate that concept, but that the new V will still focus on what happens when "the masses have blind faith in their leaders".
The new V will focus on a female Homeland Security agent with an aimless, problematic son who "gloms" to aliens upon their arrival — causing tension within the family. But as in the original V, several storylines will be featured
Sciffy ran a mini-marathon of Haunted yesterday AND they're running two more episodes on the 15th AND another mini-marathon on November 11th.
I discovered this and (I'm sorry, Matt!) forgot to post the information.
Hey, better late than never—I'll have a chance to record some of the upcoming episodes. Thanks sumi!
