Angel ,'Sleeper'
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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
We were Mineared but good on that one, weren't we?
I think that's what bugs me. Tim has broken my heart many times, but I never felt like he did so unnecessarily. He delivers just enough pain for me to gasp, "You bastard!" hating the tragedy yet never feeling cheated by it. I'm sure Tim would still have left carnage, but I suspect I wouldn't be feeling cheated at the end.
Yeah, cheated is not what I feel. But then, I never do -- so I'm no real guage of that emotion.
wrong thread! ...moving along...
Yeah, back in the Angel days, the darker Tim and Joss made things the better I liked it. That moment closing the wine cellar doors is still the character's zenith IMHO. It was when they went for sentimentality and romance that I had trouble watching.
I'm not really sure if it's the specific character, the tone of the story, the plot, or some combo of all three that makes me enjoy seeing the screws turned on some protagonists' torment (Angel, Jaye Tyler) while being put off by the excessive bleakness inflicted on others (Buffy, the BSG characters).
Thinking about it, BSG was still too bleak for me, and CoE wasn't.
Mind you, I'm mad at RTD and will miss Ianto terribly, but I will miss his smile and his and Cap'n Jack's light moments.
I feel like RTD wound up murdering Jack's character in his quest for whatever he thought he was achieving.
I have no problem with the idea that Jack did many questionable things before we met him, and in the time he was waiting for the Doctor, but after the lost year with the Doctor, the adventure with the other Companions and the episode with Gray, he was a different man and I couldn't buy him not showing more pain and remorse over the decisions that he had to make.

More remorse over 1965 or more remorse over 2009? And what would have been enough?
Completely unrelatedly, the exchange "There's still monkey phlegm in your hair." "That's not phlegm." from Warehouse 13 yesterday really made me laugh.

Both, I guess and I just felt like Barrowman was directed to hold back.

Right there with you!
I think they really skipped past what he'd done in 1965. The flu vaccination explanation might have been excuse enough, but he never gave it and everyone's loyalty seemed relatively unswerved.
As for 2009, I think he showed a balance between something he knew had to be done and the cost of it.
Right there with you!
Does SyFy have a S&P department? Because the visuals are really disturbing.
I want to like Warehouse 13, but the main characters are drawn with such a broad brush that they annoy me. They are such stock characters - uptight, by the book agent paired with wacky, irresponsible intuitive agent - they fight crime!
