Mal ,'Trash'
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.
My sister was hoping that Rusty would get pelted with cream pies at Comic Con. Any word on fan reaction in person to Children of Earth?
Oh, and Eureka's been picked up for a season 4, but if memory serves they won't start shooting for forever, so don't hold your breath.

Good article over on BBCAmerica.com, ita. Apparently, the crowd began chanting "We want Ianto," ala the creepy children chant when he showed. But he was did his explaining and it sounds like folks were placated. I suppose the fact that they also got to see previews of the next few Doctor Who specials didn't hurt either.
Loved Malcolm, who names units of measure after himself and Quatermass!
Here's a link to the Guardian report of the BBC SciFi panels:
Article contains spoilers for Doctor Who.
X-posted with Frank!
Fiona, you might mention that there are some serious spoilers in that link. It doesn't bother me, but others will not be happy.
Hee!

I swear, what I've read just on LJ is like Tara's death and Wash's death magnified to the power of a million. The outrage! The entitlement! THE ASSCAPS!
Especially when the said poster somehow makes Ianto's death a Statement On How Gays Are Treated In The Media.
And brings up Tara's death on Buffy and states it was handled better....

Oyveh, yes. Never to watch any more Sarah Jane Adventures because of the bloodthirsty homophobic cheap trickness of it all, it seems.
Oh, a friend sent me this from Ausiello's interview with Davies:
Question: But it's a risky thing to kill off such a popular character.
DAVIES: Absolutely. There’s a risk that some people won’t come back to watch now that Ianto’s gone. I thank them for watching the show and I recommend they go watch Supernatural, because those boys are beautiful. And don’t tell me they’re brothers. [Laughs] Not in my mind
