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 am in the corner with Fiona. I really enjoy Torchwood and have from the beginning. LOVE Ianto, Rhys, well, all of the characters really. But Fiona and I are the same regarding eps 8 and 9. Still liked it, there were just the same nits to pick. I can live with them, it just brought me out of the moment for, well, a moment. OTOH, Squee on the guest stars.
Jericho:
The other thing that has kind of detracted a bit is how much the cast has shrunk -Hawkins' kids, Jake's mom, and Gray have all disappeared.
Yes, and Gerald McCreany (sp?) isn't my favoritest-est, but he fit in the show. He gave Jake a chance to be legitimately misunderstood and therefore interesting. Loved the actress that played Jake's Mom so she is missed. I'm thinking in order to bring it back they had to agree to a different show with younger power players and lose most of the relationships. Except for Mimi, Bonnie and Stanley. They were still interesting.
Yeah.
I think it's McRaney.
Well, the cast has shrunk for reasons of $$.
They stripped it down and I'm glad we're not agonizing over Mary/Eric or Jake/Emily. The less Emily the better, I say.
Yeah, the less Emily the better. She really is so useless.
I just attributed the thing in "Prophecy Girl" to Angel having an 18th century Irish layabout's understanding of biology and medicine. I mean, he may have learned a lot about what hurts people over the next 15 decades, but I doubt he spent much time trying to resuscitate them.

I suppose the execs know what sells, but I always love shows with multi-generational levels of characters. I loved how interconnected Jericho was - I think that helped make it a believable small town.
I really think that Gerald McRaney was always meant to die the way he did but that some of the other changes - the smaller cast are purely what they could afford. I hope, for example, that we see Gray and Ma Green again.
ION, BSG prequel Caprica appears to be a go:
According to KoenigRules latest radio show, Caprica is approved and shooting in two weeks, and that it's going immediately to series.
that podcast.
ETA: The podcast says it's replacing Flash Gordon. Interesting assuming that their source really is a good one.
Hah, I'd completely forgotten the Xander/Angel mouth-to-mouth thing. Thanks for retrospectively ruining BtVS and Angel for me too!
Edit: I'm joking, of course, but you're right. I need to relax (and spend my spare time imagining the practicalities of television series where half the characters can't actually talk).
I really think that Gerald McRaney was always meant to die the way he did
Whatsername (Carol Butler? oh, Carol Barbee) talked about this at WonderCon. They knew from the beginning that he was going to die because he was the highest authority in the Jericho, and he needed to be taken out so that Jake and Co. would be forced to rise to the challenge.
