'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 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 :)

Oh, I know; I think I saw at least one of those discussions. It still doesn't make sense to me, but it doesn't need to. I don't care where Jericho is discussed; it's not like I'm concerned about getting spoiled for it.

Nuking millions of Americans and having the country break up into fiefdoms is world changing to me.
I dunno, I need something closer to "the end of civilization" to call something apocalyptic. 24 and The West Wing dealt with a fictional world-changing events if nasty geopolitical shakeups are all it takes. That didn't make them SF.

Alexander Skarsgard has been cast on True Blood.

(I suppose this belongs in the Premium Cable thread - but I don't go there.)

Also from Sciffy:

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

Utopian and dystopian fiction are subsets of speculative fiction

The meaning attributed to "speculative fiction" bugs me more than "genre" ever can. Isn't it at least a teeny little bit redundant?

I hadn't quite processed "straight-to-DVD" correctly. Darn it! I don't need to own the wrapup of the Ori. ::toddles off to netflix:: Hey! What's this "watch now" business? In addition to having three disks out I can watch online at no extra charge? That makes no sense.

New Amsterdam did rather well in the ratings:

9:00 FOX 9.0/13 5.1/12 14,937,000
9:30 FOX 7.5/11 4.0/10 12,373,000

Oh dear. I want SCC to come back.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Shit, that's really good. I figured nobody would get it.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

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

F'duh. Now I get it. I was wondering why the dog's name was a number...

Trust my rage

I know this isn't really a valid reason but I'm for discussing Jericho here since most of my browsing via iPhone and therefore can't read the discussion in Natter.

I too really hope SCC comes back.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Just watched New Amsterdam, and it seems a lot like Life except the cop is immortal rather than a zen master. I also think it's probably better suited for procedurals.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the Lenni-Lenape who inhabited pre-Times Square did not live in tepees.

Totally loses when you compare the casting of the leads.
