Huh. Somehow missed that Eureka season 3 was out tomorrow. Not sure if I'll pick this one up. Poochie kinda ruined the season for me.
Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.
'Serenity'
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 really wanted Merlin to be good. But, it is just as dreadful as I was warned. *sigh*

And I was about to turn off the TV when I flipped to Logo and saw a movie called "Dead Serious". Which is described as "Religious fanatics try to take over a gay bar which is--they are about to discover--owned by vampires" I was tempted, I tell ya.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I hope the gay vampires win.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Aw, I like Merlin! In a stupid Xena kind of way. It's got Uther/Morgana UST, and Gwen/Morgana UST, and Merlin/Arthur UST, and Gwen/Merlin UST, and it's generally very ficcable. And France is very pretty. And it looks like a Waterhouse painting - I do love the look of the show very much indeed. But, yes, it's very silly, and set in a sort of SCA AU that aspires to be Smallville taking place at one of those 'Medieval Times' restaurants. But - pretty pretty clothes! And very ficcable!
...yeah, okay, I can see I'm not selling it. Ah well. (And of course I get the comedy value of marvelling at the fact that Angel Coulby, who plays Gwen, is THE SPITTING IMAGE of my former employer, who is her aunt. Facial expressions, gesticulations, the whole bit. Spitting image.)

I enjoyed the first two episodes of Merlin. I didn't see whatever aired last Sunday because I was at Can't Stop the Serenity, but I'm hoping my upstairs neighbor TIVOed it. (I'm still in the dark ages of VCRdom, and I can't find the VCR control to program it. Which I guess means I'm in the even darker ages of not-even-VCRdom.)

Oooh. Thanks for the head's up. A lot of stuff is starting up their new seasons soon. And a ton of movies I'm interested in are coming out.

Fay, I'm enjoying Merlin - for the cheesiness.

And the pretty? It's very pretty.
I couldn't get into it for quite a few episodes. I was having flaily "But but but but" anachronism head-go-boom stuff. And then I said to myself: "Fay, this is not England. This is NOT any particular period. This is cloud cuckoo land. Which, as it transpires, looks a lot like a Waterhouse painting, with lots of rich blues and reds and porcelain white. Also, man, get a load of the Uther/Morgana over there! Mmmm...tasty!" And then it was all fine.
