9 worst scifi spinoffs:
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.
Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Gotta agree with the commenter who mentioned BG 1980 not being on the list as a HUGE omission.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From everything I've heard it had to have been worse than Enterprise.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Enterprise was the only one on the list that I've seen, and although I didn't like it, it seems like an odd inclusion, especially at #1. Killed the franchise? Really? Did JJ Abrams get the memo? It's not like there was anywhere else left to boldly go on TV any time soon.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Did JJ Abrams get the memo?
Yes, that's why he is credited with reviving said franchise.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I don't know if I'm buying Allison being all "shoot first". I'm sure if I thought real long and hard about it, being pregnant and being solely responsible for GD might make a person more cautious about taking risks with the towns and the planets safety, but it still feels off.
