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 don't see it, Especially the Elvis part. Vetinari prefers the background.
I could totally see Anna Chancellor as Sybil Vimes, instead of Lara Rossi, who's a bit too svelte for the role (although she would certainly have the attitude right). And Dibbler is now apparently the head of some sort of crime empire. The casting on this seems to be being done by people who have never actually read Pratchett's descriptions of the characters.
That said, I never liked Jeremy Irons' potrayal of the Patrician in The Colour of Magic adaptation even though Sir Terry based the description of Vetenari on Irons in the first place.
I was assuming those were deliberate choices of departure, which might work out.
And Dibbler is now apparently the head of some sort of crime empire.
That's where they lost my confidence. Well that, and Lady Sybil as some sort of vigilante?
(Also, Rhianna Pratchett isn't involved with the production anymore and hasn't been for a few years. which also concerns me.)
Oh no. Oh no!
Vetinari has always been Charles Dance in my mind, even before Going Postal.
Elvis? Um.
Dibbler as a crime boss? No to the ope.
My crushed hopes. Let me show you them.
To change the subject, I was watching Batwoman Sunday and she was zipping around Gotham on a motorcycle. With her cape flying behind her. And I kept thinking of what a bad idea that was and "no capes!" ran through my mind.
Ok, I go away for a long time and I finally have an opportunity to get in here, and no one is talking about Crisis on Infinite Earths?
Wil Wheaton!
Burt Ward!
...And that's the first minute.
I haven't been keeping up with Arrowverse but I did see the clip of them introducing Brandon Routh's Superman and loved it. I think the looked too young in Returns (especially for trying to be a continuation of Reeve's Superman) but damn if he doesn't look perfect now.
I am really enjoying Crisis, even if I don't know who all the guest stars are.
Routh is great as Supes, and the inside joke Ray Palmer made way back in the first crossover about Kara resembling his cousin finally comes full circle.
Tom Welling was great, too, as Clark reacting to a different Lex Luthor than the one he knows with a shrug.
And then there was Kevin Conroy.
