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...
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Rodney's just an emotionally unavailable ass. Ronon mightn't talk much, but that doesn't make him distant.
I never liked the doctor anyway.
