It really holds up well. Who knew going the extremely understated and political-thriller routes would make an excellent vampire story that stands the test of time?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Love Idris and Davenport in Ultraviolet, and Steven Moyer. Hm, Moyer turned up later on True Blood--as another vampire.
Relatedly, I had no idea Jack was Nigel Davenport's son.

Another bit of trivia, Susannah Harker who played Dr. March in the series is the great-great granddaughter of Joseph Harker, a friend of Bram Stoker's for whom he named Jonathan Harker in Dracula.

Well, that's just neat.
I remember watching Ultraviolet way back when, but never revisited it. It's good to know it's on Prime—I'll have to rewatch it.

Episode 2 -- I had a severe "I know that voice" moment. And then the penny dropped. It was Keir Dullea!

Orphan Black spin-off in the works [link]
It sounds like not clones, or at least Tatiana Maslany, and I’m not sure how I feel about that

What would be the point? The point of OB was Tatiana Maslany!

Pretty much. But the writing was also good, wasn’t it?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I don't think I'm as invested in the world of Orphan Black without the sestras, but I'm willing to give it a shot!
From the comments, though, I would watch the living hell out of this:
The Orphan Black spinoff I wanted would have been Helena and Art opening a food truck specializing in Ukranian-soul food fusion & solving a mystery in a different Toronto neighborhood every week
