Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think that's spelled "Ay-yy-yy" now. It's easier to text that way.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

“We couldn’t own Sci Fi; it’s a genre,”

We couldn't own ABC; it's the alphabet.

We couldn't own Showtime; it's a noun.

We couldn't own Disney; it's a corpo—okay, actually, we do own Disney.

Art Crawl!!!

That channel - the one which is also an ENTIRE genre but can't figure out how to spell it's name?

It's going to air sneak peeks of SGU during the SG1 movies which will be shown on March 27th and April 3rd.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Any questions/comments for BSG cast & crew? Leaving for the screening/upfronts in 5 minutes.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Who do they (both cast and crew) think had the most interesting character arc? (I want to hear someone say Gaeta, damnit!)

Did everything that the creators/writers had planned on getting into the show make it in over the course of four years?

Do they know that they're going to be in demand at SF conventions for the rest of their lives?

ETA: Damnit, I just noticed the time stamp. Missed her!

Honestly, it's not that SciFi is changing their name, it's that they're changing it to something really really stupid.

I am a-boggle. Dumb spelling, and SyFy sounds/reads exactly zero broader than Sci-fi in terms of what might be aired. God. Someone(s) got paid, and probably a shitload, to come up with that, which, if it were good, wouldn't be bad, but it's really bad, so I resent that person/company's fee!

There used to be a website named SyFy Portal, I recall. It looks like they just changed their name to Airlock Alpha.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Considering that SciFi is showing increasingly less science fiction and increasingly more unrelated crap, I feel a certain amount of relief that they'll have a name more fitting for non-sf crap.

I just checked, and there's an existing esseff.com.
