The rift is sort of the opposite of a hellmouth... can you imagine a place with BOTH?

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I just caught up with SCC. Man, I actually really like that show.
It's totally doomed.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
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?

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
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.

Our wings are not tired.
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I keep having the strongest urge to quit watching Ashes to Ashes, and I don't know why I'm not following it. I mean, at least Torchwood had aliens and fairies and monsters. I really can't get into Alex Drake; she just annoys me. I don't know what it is, but I can't seem to really care whether she lives and sees her daughter again. The creepy clown is nowhere near as effective as all the tricks LoM pulled, but, in fairness, I know they don't want to use the same tricks. This show is really making me appreciate John Simm and, well, the character of Sam Tyler. It's interesting to see the growth of Ray and Chris, and Shaz is totally adorable, but even Gene Hunt is irritating me on this show half the time because having to work with a bird brings out his dickish side even more. With Sam, the conflicts were more procedural and interesting, but it seems like all he does on this show is be totally offensive every chance he gets. And I have no interest in the Gene/Alex hook-up they're moving toward. I swear, sometimes it feels like fanfic come to life. I miss the layered, interesting character we got in LoM. The show is improving somewhat, but geez. I don't know why I'm putting myself through this. We're more than halfway through the series, so might as well keep going, I guess.
