Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
(Plus, I would've loved if they'd really leaned into the junkyard Dalek idea. Actual plunger! Corrugated iron skirt! Helmet made from a hubcap! And still taking out an entire platoon of soldiers. I'd have been right into that.)
I would have LOVED that.
Yeah, it would have been a chuckle to see a Dalek going Junkyard Wars and rebuilding its main beam weapon out of an old TV picture tube, or having the base of its outer casing be a tractor tire.
I finally got caught up on The Magicians.
Me too. Except for maybe The Good Place, The Magicians is the show that made me laugh the most this past year. Only The Magicians isn't really a comedy, it's kind of bleak...
But they know how to balance the funny and the bleak .

So ... MacGyver Dalek?
So ... MacGyver Dalek?
Yes! And now I'm thinking I'd like to see a Dalek put itself together in an abandoned amusement park. It can ride around on an old, sparking dodgem car. The eyestalk protrudes from the mouth of one of those clown heads. The torso can have the Dalek inside a claw game, perched on a mound of creepy dilapidated dolls. Creepy dolls! It plays merry-go-round music whenever it builds up speed! I bet Russell T. Davies would've done it if he'd thought of it.
Possibly the 2019 Christmas special?
I watched the first episode of Roswell, NM ... not terribly excited by it.
I did, however, get a good deal on the DVDs for the first season of Dracula (the Jonathan Rhys-Meyers version). It made my snowbound weekend better.
I've been burning through Wynona Earp S3 on Amazon (S1 and 2 are on Netflix) and is it just me or did this show cross an invisible line from Buffy-esque to Buffy-okay-now-we're-just-wholesale-lifting-entire-plotlines-but-with-swearing-and-snow? Not that I'm complaining! S3 is awesomely bonkers so far! But, I mean, Wishverse ep where the hero is erased and everything goes to shit? Vampires that turn to dust when staked? Love interest of main character is now a vampire but, you know, not a bad one?
I can't remember a goddamn thing that happened on Black Lightning, other than Tobias ripping Khalil's metal spine out of his body. Holy fucking shit. I honestly just expected Tobias to kill him.
I was really surprised that DIDN'T kill him. But, you know, TV.
