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.
Sorry, I was phone posting before.
He talked mostly about how it was to direct for the first time (and actually look through a camera for the first time ever), how he prepared, shooting choices, how certain days/scenes went. One cute thing - their kids were extas in the Baltar blah-blah scene. I can't really remember any good or juicy ep/story talk.
Oh, and he talked about (potentially spoilery, I guess, for the rest of the season):
why they chose to go with Tyrol not being Nicky's bio-dad - basically, it's because they'd set Hera up in the mythology of the show as The One True Hybrid, and she has A Special Role in everything. So, that was interesting, and hence, Hot Dog. Or, at least, I found it interesting because I'd started to wonder whether they were ever going to do anything about Hera and her specialness now that she had competition.
Yeah, that certainly seemed like the motivation. Especially because
it doesn't sound like they started thinking about doing the Final Five storyline until season three, and they'd already created Nicky at the end of season two. So they wanted Tyrol as a Cylon but had to get around making Nicky another hybrid eventually.
Heh. I whitefonted because Jessica continued podcast talk over in Spoilers. Is that a hard and fast rule, or a judgment thing? I mean, clearly, if he had dropped some huge spoiler or hint at something, I wouldn't post it. Is whitefont podcast OK? I just can't remember and don't have the heart to scroll back.
If it hasn't broadcast on TV, it shouldn't be here. Well, if it points to future developments, and I think that does. Even though it's exactly as I surmised. Bad Ron Moore.
Ron drops spoilers in his podcasts and interviews. For example, his interviews with Mo Ryan have a fair number of spoilers in them. So, I think you were right to whitefont.
OK, noted, and thanks. I'll take future spec like that to Spoilers.
Planet Raptor. Oh, Sci-fi, don't ever change.
Battlestar 2021. Yes, it is what you think it is, and it is hilarious.
Worst commercial placement in TV history: [link] (don't watch if you haven't seen last week's BSG, but in that case WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?)
second time seeing that, and it is still so very hysterically wrong. I think that commercial has wrongness all on it's own, but this? I'm so glad it didn't air in my neck of the woods. I might have thrown up.
