From what I hear, the books are way different, but most of the people who read the books seem to be OK with the changes.
Boxed Set, Vol. VI: I am not a number, I am a free thread!
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.
Hmm, now I want to watch it. Time to definitely not use my brother's Netflix account. (The shows he watches on my Hulu account make me laugh, but he doesn't make fun of me for having OG Beverly Hills 90210 in my watchlist, so it's all good.)
I am also at hmmm. I mean, I'm not surprised they had to make changes, given the pace of the book. Hmmm.
Is this where we discuss BBC Sherlock?
In Procedurals, Zen.
Is anyone watching Emerald City? It's a lot grittier than I expected and I'm not sure if I'm going to finish watching this.
I watched it ... but found myself wondering why.
heh ... a while ago I read an interview with onetime Dr. Who Colin Baker. Seemingly, for one episode he was tied to a pole and was being carried through the woods ... they broke for lunch or something and they FORGOT ABOUT HIM, leaving him lying on the ground, still tied to the pole. They did remember him before TOO long and someone came and untied him.
Mark of the Rani! Not entirely sure if they forgot about him or 'forgot' about him.
My favourite behind-the-scenes tale comes from The Talons of Weng-Chiang. This one was set in Victorian London. The production team had scouted out a part of London that still looked the part for the location filming. They planned to do a shoot with a hansom cab rattling through the street one evening, and sent out notices to all the locals to say they'd need to have their cars off the street that night.
Come the night of the shoot, they all turn up and find one couple has left their expensive and completely anachronistic Porsche out in front of the house, and gone away for the weekend. As usual, there's no time to reschedule, so the director tells the unit manager to sort something out.
the unit manager racks his brains for a way to disguise this car with something period, and hits on an idea. And so, if you happen to watch this adventure, at one point you'll see a shot of a cab being driven past this car - covered with a tarp, and then completely buried under a 6 foot high pile of period-friendly manure.
And that is why you should never ignore letters from the BBC.
The BBC does not mess around!
