Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Also, they continue to not make me want Zane's death upon every instance of him being in an episode. What the fuck is up with that? Is it just my resistance (which is futile) being worn down.
Still REALLY miss Ed Quinn though, even though I get to see him on True Blood as a badass now.
I've seen Star Trek: The Motion Picture. This will not end well.
Is there a good reason an object capable of amazing acceleration couldn't just rotate 180° and decellerate itself rather than spending days remote control zombifying people to build it an electronic parachute?
I found the control of the children (ok, teenagers) reminiscent of the Children of Earth miniseries, though of course this was written and filmed before there could have been any crosspollination.
Not really, COE was very limited in what the control DID with the children. Froze them in place, had them chant stuff, plus caused one head to explode (adult). This is much more "It Came From Outer Space" with the control used to build a part the spaceship driver needed. I would swear some of the shots were deliberately playing homage to ICFOS.
I think Allison acted reasonably in her role as protector of GD and Eureka. She doesn't have the luxury of intellectual curiosity that Tess or Henry might want to indulge.
For some reason I find it incredibly distracting that the sheriff's badge has seven points. It's so irregular.
On the similar tip of things people have on their chests, I like Henry's "Mayor" patch.
Agreed. It would actually be quite remiss not to get every bit of defensive hardware possible ready in case the origin of the signal turned out to be hostile, just because Dr. Cadman would like to think it's ET coming for a friendly visit.
I do think the snide guy who viewed unannounced missile launches over a population center as fun-n-games should have had a bit closer oversight from Allison, though.
Watching my Eureka 3.0 DVDs, trying not to fastforward through the Lexi scenes, but it's really really hard.
Interesting deleted Henry/Jack scene from I'm not sure which ep.
Also interesting that the time travel eps, which are also the Big Death eps, as well as the strongest Relationship eps (romantic and otherwise, imo), are my two favorite of all three seasons thus far.
But, Lexi dear, please depart with your Dr. W.H.O. soonish.
Actually, no, I take that back. Leave your man behind so he can keep bonding with Fargo.
I just got the BSG 4.5 dvds, and I'm listening to the audio commentary on the finale first. Did y'all know that when they were casting for the series, they were on the verge of getting Michael Moriarty for Saul Tigh? It would have been strange seeing Ben Stone from L&O as Tigh.
There's a cute bonus feature on the second disc of Eureka 3.0 with Bear McCreary and Jaime Paglia. Bear is a cutiehead. And Jaime better not be teasing about doing a musical ep.
Enterprise is an odd inclusion on that list also because I don't think of it as a spinoff. I suppose it technically is one, but at this point isn't the ST universe broad enough that each new show is just another chapter in the saga?
(And yes, Galactica 1980 was much much much worse, on just about every level imaginable.)
