I didn't hang long enough with the '84 version to see that turn of events.
But that version was actually good! It had no camo pants.
Okay, I didn't give this version more than the one shot, but the one ep I did see (PTSD) was really stupid.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

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.

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

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
if it had been done, and relatively recently
Well, 1984. Jonas Armstrong was born in 1981. ijs. It's not that recent.

Robin of Sherwood was fab. Aaw. And it had a great cast!
Robin Hood not so much with the fab, and, on balance, I think Tony Robinson's kids' show Maid Marion and Her Merry Men was probably better (and had an awesome theme tune), but I really liked the cross dressing Saracen Djaq.

Compassionately intolerant
Okay, you've convinced me to give RofS a try. Though, it isn't on surf...so I'll have to do some digging.
Speaking of same, I tried Demons today but didn't like it. In Fiona's link upthread, the story said it was a show that appealed to both adults and kids. I assumed it was like Sarah Jane but no such luck. I only liked one character and she wasn't near the top of the cast list. Sigh.
I'm running out of fun stuff to watch.

Oh dear - many apologies for not mentioning the spoiler with the link. Wasn't thinking - sorry.
Edited to add:
but I'm sure he'll pop up somewhere else soon.
He was already in the last series of Spooks. Likes to keep busy, I assume.
(And that reminds me: I have all four episodes of "North and South" on my PVR still to watch.... RA with sideburns in a waistcoat - mmmmm).

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I adored Robin of Sherwood when it aired, and I still have great fondness for it, but some elements don't age well. Michael Praed's hair, for one thing. And the red filters. And the slow-mo, and the fight scenes, which are very awkward and slow in the post-Buffy television world. Still, Ray Winstone is wonderful, and I have always wondered why Judi Trott never did anything else.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My sister called me today, and got busy so she handed the phone off to my BIL, whom I started chatting Doctor Who and Torchwood with. Then, he mentioned that he had somehow accidentally ordered two sets of Eureka 3.0 and was wondering if I wanted the extra set. Hell, yeah!
Since I'm sending out a tape of Spaced, they're sending me Eureka for free. Not quite an even trade, but I'll take it!

The link page for all three plays is here:
I don't think I'm going to be able to listen to them in time, but perhaps somebody here can download them....

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
There are download links for all three parts, but they only work if you're in the UK. Grrr...
