Well, we had been talking Jericho in Natter (all whitefont) but I'm totally fine with talking Jericho in blackfont here. (It's nice to have a genre-esque show to discuss on Tuesday nights, isn't it?)
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --
Mal ,'War Stories'
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.

I think here works. Post-apocalypse = sf, anyway. That was some serious HSQ. It's so in character that it happened because Mimi was being her usual IRS self, barging ahead with the facts regardless of possible human consequences.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why? I mean, I'd assumed Jericho was sf, but I can't support it with an actual argument. Did the nuclear bomb going off in 24 move it into sf status? If NY isn't destroyed (bear in mind I'm not up to date--so maybe it has been since) is it an apocalypse?

New Amsterdam: watching the Immortal with his dog. I found myself wondering how many dogs he's had in his life - 50 plus?

I would guess thirty nine, since that seems to be the dog's name.

Jericho has an SF premise, but I don't consider it to be an SF show because the episodic plots are straight drama. And yeah, unless they've established that the rest of the world went away, some US cities getting nuked doesn't equal post-apocalyptic to me.
But I still don't get how Due South counts, so.

Due South was grandfathered, yes? Also, ghost dad.

I raised that at some point, apparently he talks to someone who's a ghost or something. Believe me, we had an extensive, full-on Buffista discussion :)
I think the thread originally started for the hoYay and the porn, and it was kind of a coincidence that the SciFi stuff (i.e. Smallville, Highlander) were slashtastic.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The original Due South thread morphed into the de facto Stargate thread, so it came along for the ride with the Smallville and Farscape threads when the three were folded together into Boxed Set. Plus, as noted, ghost dad.
