Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

I finished Warrior Nun a couple days ago and was annoyed with myself for not realizing there was only one season! Lately I tend to watch shows after they already have a few seasons out. To get to your comment, I was only not surprised because they had trained me to expect the unexpected. I knew for sure that Father Vincent was key there, although it had been expected for quite some time, when they picked up the plans.

Anyway, dang them for tricking me into watching when there isn't subsequent seasons yet!

Speaking of Netflix stuff, my son says I must watch The Umbrella Academy immediately. At least there are two seasons there to entice me. So I guess next on my list. He watched all night, going to bed at 6 something this morning. When I went downstairs to pee during the night he wouldn't let me see the television to get spoilers.

Is that a this thread show, or somewhere else, or is anyone watching The Umbrella Academy?

What is even happening?

Laura, a few Buffistas watched season one of The Umbrella Academy, last year. Dh and I have just started season 2, but our daughter binged the whole season Friday.

This is not an attempt to thread nanny -> Last year, there was a teeny bit of conversation in the Streaming thread -- a handful of posts. I think Russian Doll and Good Omens were out at the time, and fewer people were posting overall, so it didn't really take off.

I am kind of wishing I'd re-watched season one before season two dropped, because season 1 premiered almost a year and a half ago, and now I mostly remember:

1. There is a show called The Umbrella Academy
2. The cast is good
3. The music is good
4. It's a quirky little thing

I had an ish with how the women's powers were handled, but I still enjoyed it.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Oh, also on the Warrior Nun finale: I am DEEPLY disappointed that Shotgun Mary didn't shoot traitor Father Vincent IN THE FACE.

Thanks, Cindy.

Also, ITA, Teppy.

I just kept yelling "Shoot him IN! THE! FACE!" at the TV through that whole last scene.

Herding cats for fun

Umbrella Academy: OMG yaaaas. Extra points for the killer 80s music. Imagine, KISS sounding good.

With the kids watching it all night long I could hear the music drifting up the stairs, but that is all I know so far.

We've binged 7 of the 10 episodes for S2 so far and will likely finish them tonight. So good! I love how the UA leans into its weirdness.

We watched three episodes of UA S2 so far, and just like last time, Klaus and Five are my precious babies.
