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 think w/rt Discworld, the problem for me is that a huge part of what makes Discworld so charming is Pratchett's voice. The sly asides, the footnotes, the brilliant sentences that work so perfectly and make you laugh out loud on the bus.
It's just so difficult to pull that off in a filmed adaptation, and the only way to do it would be with an equally-brilliant script writer. Of which there are very few indeed.
I mean, the characters and the world and the themes are all wonderful, but my favorite bit is the voice and I think it's un-recreatable in any other medium.
I'm pretty sure Neil didn't show-run American Gods
He was co-showrunner in the second season. It was not an improvement on the first.
Has anyone seen the trailer for the new Syfy series, Resident Alien, starring Alan Tudyk? I'm all in. I went out and got the comics the series is based on and I think it has so much potential. I don't know who's writing, or running the show, but I'm curious now.
Oh, I think I saw an ad for that but then I forgot about it. Will check out the trailer when I have a minute...the description sounds right up my alley
Found my 2 minutes for the trailer. I honestly can't tell if I will like it from that, but I will give it a try. It's got potential.
Intriguing.
First seven minutes: [link]
Huh. Well, not exactly a sympathetic character, but I'm interested enough to give it a try.
That is a big change from the graphic novel. Wonder why they thought they needed it?
