'Shindig'
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.
Star Trek isn't sci-fi for adults on British TV though. (Which just goes to show that if you define your parameters narrowly enough, almost anything can be "groundbreaking.")

Ooookay. I'm going to assume that you didn't mean that to be as patronising as it was, and just move on.
Enjoied eureka and that is all I have to say Not much else to say I guess.
Colin did a great job! Really like the episode!
Ooookay. I'm going to assume that you didn't mean that to be as patronising as it was, and just move on.
I apologize if I was too flip there. This line in the review pinged me hard and made it very difficult for me to take the rest of it seriously:
The show we have just had was, to use that trite phrase again, ‘groundbreaking’ in more ways than one. It just took adult sci-fi to a new level in this country. And it did it by using sci-fi as a way to explore political and social issues of monumental importance at a time when they very much need to be explored.
It's simply absurd to say that any SF produced in 2009 is "groundbreaking" for using the genre's tropes as a vehicle for socio-political commentary. Using the clarifiers "adult" and "in this country" (and the implied "on TV") makes it slightly less absurd by narrowing the field of potential counter-examples, but only slightly, as Strega and others have shown.
I think he's trying to make a habit of it. Expect more (and not just Eureka).
Good for him.
rewatched eureka.
Jo comes to conclusions in a simalar way to Carter , despite her different background. so an investigator takes leaps, due to experience that is outside the lab/ easily explained world
Caught the previews and promotional videos for "Being Human" from BBC America, I take it that:
Vampire=Addict
Ghost=OCD
Werewolf = ummm .. Wanker?
I'm struck by the hair in the photo about midway down compared to the 10th Doctor hair at the bottom. Floppy hair + red headed sidekick. So, there is continuity.
eta: Beware a casting spoiler for the end of the 10th Doctor's run in that article!
Typo Boy, the original premise was set up with non-supernatural roommates. The equation was:
vampire = sex addict
werewolf = OCD
ghost = self-esteem issues
