These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Is the BBCA airing of Torchwood going on subsequent nights, subsequent weeks, or all in one night?

Art Crawl!!!

I hear that there is some sort of special airing before the first episode.

So far that's the only thing my DVR has been able to pick up.

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

God, I love Ianto. I'm in love with Captain Jack, but I love Ianto. In the third radio play he has a great speech. Doll. I need the right Ianto icon.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Torchwood, Day Three:

The 456 are creepy. Thrashing frightens me.

I think there was too much time spent on Mr. Frobisher this episode. Not that interesting. But I agree with your point.

I do think it was too talky, on the whole, but they had to fit the exposition in somewhere.

Day two was so very active that this palls in comparison, but I did think that a lot of the Frobisher/PM stuff was them being vague and moody and not actually expositing, so it bored me. I can always do with more of the team. Especially Jack/Ianto.

Compassionately intolerant

Two thoughts on Warehouse 13...it was cool that the female agent actually took her shoes off to go into action...and Hm, bigger on the inside than on the outside.

I'm only a little way into it, so haven't figured out how I feel about it.
