Since Tim has been helping his brothers clean out their parents' house after work over the past few weeks, I've been binge-watching Roswell while he's over there, and it's pretty entertaining, despite how fucking old the soundtrack makes me feel.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

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.
That sounds like a good option for my background tv. DH generally has news on in the background while working, but the repetitiveness makes me nuts. I prefer to queue up a series that either I have seen before, or that doesn't really require full attention as background noise. Having music in the background works sometimes, but a series works better with my need to multi-task.

Uh, how far into the series are you? Not that there's anything to make you stop watching, it just gets more and more preposterous.

I finished S3E10 last night. I'm expending a lot of energy rolling my eyes at every single scene involving anything medical or sciencey. I can willingly suspend my disbelief for the concept of hot aliens, but holy shit that is not how medicine or science works.
I have zero use for Max. I don't dislike him; he's just...wallpaper. Which makes Jones equally uninteresting. Like, just fuck off to some other planet, my guy, and bore them to death.
I deeply love Kyle Valenti's perpetual "What new fuckery are you dragging me into?" face.
I would have been so happy if every episode featured Alex whacking his dad in the back of the head with his crutch.
And while I'm wholeheartedly a fan of Michael and Alex getting together, it turns out that I'm also really a big fan of a good old-fashioned canonical threesome. Way to go, show.

I'm pleased to tell you that all of your thoughts are correct. A friend and I always talk about how the show would fall apart without Kyle, because they need him as a doctor, and because he usually has custody of the one brain cell.
Not exactly spoilery for S4, but I would have wanted to know: Tyler Blackburn had some kind of back injury at some point, so he's in maybe 4 or 5 eps of the season.

Oh yeah, I did see that on Tumblr. Terrible timing, man.

I mean, none of the rest of them should be allowed to have the brain cell anyway.

I forget where this should go, but I think here… anyone want to talk about WWDOITS Guillermo coming out to his family and the fight with Nadja ?

I caught up with Roswell enough to watch it in real time, so my big question (pretty much for Dana, I think) is -- Malex handprint: yes or no? I feel like there's a better than 50% chance at yes. (I'm assuming the showrunners aren't stupid enough to kill their gay, so I'm ignoring that as a possibility entirely and just trying to figure out how exactly Alex will be saved. Because I *also* want to see Sanders in a tux. Who wouldn't?)

I think that narratively speaking, it makes perfect sense, and with this show, that is absolutely no guarantee that it will actually happen. But a fangirl can hope and try to manifest the handprint she wants to see in the world.

And I'm always running a little behind on WWDITS, but the way the setup of the whole dinner worked, and the big secret being that Guillermo was less worried about living with vampires and more worried about being gay, was beautifully done.
