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.

Anyway, Aeryn (my daughter) has confidently stated every time it looks like Crichton's in danger that she's not worried because he's a main character so he has to survive and I truly cannot wait for this innocent child of mine to get to S3.
To be fair, at the time he was

I'll admit, I was not prepared to feel good about Death's casting and I am so so happy to have been wrong!
I just happened to see that elsewhere - way more optimistic about this production than I had been before!
The only casting I'm not sure about from that thread is Patton Oswalt.
Kung Fu
had a satisfying season finale, and a nice set up for the next season.
JMS is developing a Babylon 5 reboot for the CW. I guess it’s sci-fi nostalgia week. I think I feel a little better about this one than my previous post?
But where will they find the Amigas?
I don't know how to feel about either of those.
I don't think I ever did see all of Babylon 5 - it aired on an independent station at odd times (both in the sense that the times were inconvenient and they didn't stay the same from week to week) and I was working an irregular schedule myself at the time and I know I couldn't keep up regularly. I always meant to find what I had missed or probably watch the whole thing because by now I remember very little indeed but I never had, but I still have the vague sense that it was a show I liked that deserved better
I thought Babylon 5 did pretty well, at least where I am. They did have a fairly complete story arc, although I didn't see the ending until it was re-broadcast on a local station. It was pretty satisfying in that they tied up loose ends, gave characters their resolutions and so on.
I found it interesting that virtually all their special effects were CGI - very early on in the technology, but it worked well.
