Mal ,'War Stories'
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.
So, I was thinking how this latest episode reminded me a bit of Killed by Death at the end, when I realized that the Torchwood crew doesn't really know what they are up against - Cardiff is built on Hellmouth, isn't it? They just have weevils instead of vamps as the dominant scary thing population.
Which only makes me SO want a Buffy/Torchwood x-over that will never happen.
The rift is sort of the opposite of a hellmouth... can you imagine a place with BOTH?
Like, I dunno... Dayton?
Unimpressed by SGA. It was a nice try, but...meh.
And if that's the last we get of SCC (as I sadly suspect it will be), I will be PISSED with a capital PISSED.
I just caught up with SCC. Man, I actually really like that show.
It's totally doomed.
So, just finished watching Pushing Daisies on DVD and lovelovelove this show. Anyone fill me in on its present status? Is Season One over? Do we expect more episodes to happen? Ever?
It's supposed to return in the fall, Fay. It actually got pretty good ratings for something so deeply offbeat.
Are the signs really that bad for SCC? I thought I read it was re-upped.
SCC is on Fox, which has such a long history of making stupid decisions about genre shows that the wisest fan policy is hope as little as possible to reduce the inevitable disappointments.
Yes, Fay, PD actually got renewed before the strike, but because of the trouble with rounding up the principal actors at this late date (i.e. Kristen Chenoweth singing and dancing at the Oscars, and a number of others have side projects scheduled for their 'off season') they'll work on a full season for next year. Which is frustrating because I'm in love with the show THIS MUCH but I'd rather they get enough time to put together proper scripts and SFX instead of having to rush things through and lessen the final product.
SCC and PD must be renewed. I want my good TV.
I've read all over the internet on Livejournal recently that SCC is renewed. Unfortunately it's lots of people telling each other it's renewed. It seems to have originated from an article on canada.com saying it got hit ratings and has been renewed, which was... wrong.
They should renew it. It should hold a stead 8 million. I fear, though, FOX won't risk it. Their current silence is deafening - I suspect they'll let the cast contracts expire quietly. Experience with them I've had is they'll bin stuff off without actually telling people.
PD is definitely coming back, also.
