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.
I just gotta weigh in on the science in the show.
it just kills me a lot of weeks - most clearly in p brane.... it's tough when you're trying to learn the rules of a particular episode and your asking exactly what you guys were asking "Why don't I go through the floor? Why can't I walk through the walls or the elevator door?
I thank you for your patience.
Some are better than others and I really relish those ones - where the science is clear and correct and concise.
It's nice to hear that others have the same problems because then I don't feel so crazy when I have everyone saying "Oh stop over thinking it."
Anyway, I'm in Bulgaria for the summer acting in one movie and directing another. It's the classic SwhyFwhy popcorn saturday stuff. Hope you guys are good.
I just had to weigh in....
SwhyFwhy
Okay, this might be my favorite new name for the network.
Thanks for chiming in, Colin. I've found the only way to deal with the science is to not over-think it, but that's only because I have no control over it. It's good to know that at least one person who *does* have some control is speaking up!
Maybe GD's too technically advanced to have stairs?
No, I got nothing. Hated that episode.
Edgy US reboot of Primeval? Really? This is worth spending time and money on? I wonder if they'll make it make more sense.
"Oh stop over thinking it."
Dear Writers/Producers And Other Syfy Head Honcho Types,
Your viewers are giant nerds. There is no such thing as overthinking. Srsly.
And really? Your show? It's about people who over think things.

That too. I'd buy Tess' characterization way more if she'd have been asking those questions alongside us, even if only to hang a lantern on the fact that they were being handwaved away.
(I'm no good at titles, but the Farscape ep where they got shrunk and it really bothered Sikozu that their brains still worked and they could still breathe regular sized air molecules? That was awesome. We need more of that from Tess.)

exactly. Ask the question, speculate, then get distracted and move on.
Oh well, at least the cast is mostly enjoyable in their interactions even if the science is headache-inducing. I gave up on Defying Gravity after two episodes because I couldn't believe these people could survive a bus trip across town together, nevermind 6 years in outer space.
