'Out Of Gas'
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.
a nighttime soap with implausibly pretty cornfed white boys
I was thinking there wasn't much pretty in it at all.
I think a lot more interesting things can easily be done with an America with kings than with the scenario I'd been envisioning, so even without the good recs, I'd give it a look.
And, well, I got nothing against the angst of white boys.
I was thinking there wasn't much pretty in it at all.
Really? It looks all glossy, golden, and beautiful to me. Everyone in the promo was implausibly pretty, other than Ian McShane.
I might give it a shot, except for the fact that I've got way too much to watch as it is.
Speaking of which, has anyone else picked up on this British show Being Human? A werewolf, a vampire on the wagon, and a ghost share a house in Bristol. Which sounds goofy: but the characters are kind of wonderful so far.
The photography was pretty enough, but I didn't get that much of a pretty vibe from the people themselves. My-tastewise they're pretty much middle-tier Hollywood.
How are you watching Being Human?
I am watching it by ahem. Because my friend K said of episode 5 that it was the best hour of tv she'd seen in a couple of years.
I happened to catch most of Episode 6 (of 6) of "Being Human" last night, without having watched much - make that hardly any - of the previous stuff. It was surprisingly strong, and the premise reminded me more of Buffy than anything else I've seen for a long while, although they seem to be headed more towards the drama side than the comedy, for a comedy-drama.
It's a BBCAmerica co-production, so I imagine it will be turning up there soon. Also, it's on BBCTHREE, so it will be repeated endlessly in the UK.
I saw the first ep of "Being Human" and I could not get into it at all.
I've seen other enthusiastic mentions of Being Human but no explanation of the premise (probably becuase it does sound like the start of joke, if they all walk into a bar....)
Kings will be on my Definite Give It A Try list, even though it will be an effort because of that antiTAR scheduling -- thanks for the heads-up.
BSG:
I am thinking that Cavil's end game is to get the final 5 to come to him. He wants a resurrection ship. The only people who know how to do it are the final 5. I think he bets that someone will chase Boomer back to Cavil (or try to) and he might attempt to hold hostages until he can get the final 5 to him.

Oooh, I had no idea that had been picked up. I thought the pilot was a lot of fun.
Okay - one spec I've read is that Galactica will become a Cylon type ship and that Anders would be the hybrid.
