Has the UK premiere date for AoS season two been announced yet? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Gaz-L posted:No, as in it's LITERALLY shot in Vancouver. Just like Smallville, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Stargate and basically any other genre show in the last 15 years. I think Vancouver's best performance was when it played against type as "Seacouver" in Highlander: The Series.

I would kind of dig it if DC's TV universe ended up with Supergirl "as" Superman, if you get what I mean. She'd be the last survivor of Krypton instead of Kal-El and she'd become Earth's number-one hero. That would be pretty cool. Kind of like how Oliver Queen is basically their Batman. It'll probably not happen, though.

I've never watched the old Hulk TV series (the one with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno), but I saw it on DVD at half-price in a shop recently. What's it like?

Is Alias widely available in trade or would I be better off buying from Marvel digitally? There's an omnibus with the complete series which either just has been or is just about to be reprinted.

From the screenwriter of The Man of Steel comes Gotham: Superman Style as a SyFy original series. I think Before Smallville would be punchier.

ToastyPotato posted:I'm just trying to reconcile how he can be trying to save the world and kill Barry's mom at the same time. I imagine it's one of those scenarios where he's determined the Flash is the key to saving the future, but he's also worked out that the murder of Nora Allen (or, perhaps more particularly, Barry spending the next 15 years or so trying to clear his father's name) was key to the creation of the Flash. Murdered parents as the catalyst of heroism is just one of those things superhero comics seem to fall back on a lot, all the way back to Batman; I understand that it was a new dimension added to Barry's backstory in the New 52 (I have not read New 52 Flash) and, if I recall correctly, it was something the Hunter Zolomon version of Reverse-Flash/Professor Zoom did to Wally West in Geoff Johns's Flash from around 10 years ago. So, I imagine when Barry learns everything and he's gone medieval on him, Wells will get a monologue where he takes credit for making Flash what he is, how he got his hands dirty and did what needed to be done.

It'll never happen but it might be funny to see if the Carol Corps would have as apoplectic a reaction to it as your stereotypical CBR message board nerds.

XboxPants posted:(I mean sure, real life doesn't work that way unless they're pretty hardcore electrical engineers with advanced theoretical knowledge, but based on the approach we've seen to "science" in this show I think it's a safe bet) Sure, they're just following the comics, where most of the Rogues designed and built all these amazing weapons while they were in prison. Compared to what Weather Wizard (a wand that could control the weather itself) and Mirror Master (a trans-dimensional teleportation device) were able to research and build with nothing more than the resources in a prison library and workshop, Captain Cold's cold-emitting gun is almost pedestrian.

greatn posted:I like they are making Jimmy an alpha male type dude that Supergirl crushes on rather than a nerd crushing on her. Because I think in a world without Superman to become dependent on that's actually how Jimmy would probably end up. Hot shot photographer, relatively good looking, generally brave, Clark Kent's best bro. He only looks like a dweeb because you're holding him up next to Superman. Not dissimilar to a male version of Lois Lane, I suppose.

Starman, huh? I suppose Jack Knight is off-limits for television (barring permission from Robinson) just as he is in the comics? The most recent episode of The Flash was pretty good even if the tag sort of overshadowed it. Felt sort of like a pilot in disguise, though I don't mean that in a pejorative way.

I reckon they'll go for a kind of alternate universe angle; the CW will be Earth 1 and CBS will be Earth 2.

True enough. Though I think if you look closely at Wells's future newspaper in the pilot episode, he seems to be wearing the bright red costume with the white background on his chest insignia.

It was great fun to see the Preacher TV series mentioned in the Belfast Telegraph maybe a month back; they were trying to do their usual thing of slobbering all over anything that they think could put Northern Ireland on the map, no matter how tangential it may be (I'm pretty sure they must have had a picture of Jamie Dornan on the front page near every day for about a fortnight before 50 Shades of Grey came out), but this time they obviously couldn't work out how to reconcile that instinct with their uneasiness about the subject matter.

ToastyPotato posted:Claw woman was even dumber. She is a nurse who managed to somehow "permanently graft" razors to her finger tips and SHIELD of all people, had no way to remove them. I am pretty sure nothing can be permanently grafted to a finger tip, since it is... a finger tip. The time the spent crafting those horrible shackle gloves, they could have just used that laser cutter to removed the blades. Haha, I've not seen this yet, but my first thought on reading that description was the Mortal Kombat web series pilot from a few years back where Baraka is a former plastic surgeon who killed a bunch of patients on the operating table then got into self-mutilation and grafted retractable blades to his forearms. Not sure why my mind went there, but it did.

I'm thinking they could do an ensemble thing where there's several stories going on at once and intersecting from time to time, like Heroes or True Blood.

XboxPants posted:Imagine you have a series of movies about a man who's story is that he's always trying to find his true love. Then they make a TV series about the same guy, with the same premise, but that while the TV show must never contradict the films, none of the events of the TV series are ever going to be acknowledged by the movie series. Not only would that mean that there are zero stakes in any of the man's romances on the TV show, but that there can never be any character development, no important characters introduced, nothing fleshed out about his past for fear that the films would later want to talk about that area. Sort of like the Highlander TV series, except with decapitation instead of finding true love.

The second half of each season was shot in Paris, so they'd have appearances from British and European actors who weren't yet well known. There's one episode in season one where Marion Cotillard appears as the daughter of an Immortal mafia boss; the same episode also features Anthony Stewart Head doing an American accent ( ) while the first Amanda episode had Jason Isaacs playing the evil Immortal of the week.I also enjoyed: the episode where Geraint Wyn Davies played an Immortal who had a girlfriend called Janette during the First World War (because it was a Forever Knight referece); and the one where the flashbacks revolve around Amanda and Nicholas Lea's character playing an Immortal Bonnie and Clyde in the 1920s, with MacLeod having to dig them up every time they were shot dead by the police so they could start over.

Yeah, Methos was one of the Four Horsemen; Kronos (one of his partners) was the main villain in season four. As for Forever Knight, there's an interview on DVD sets in which James D. Parriott (the creator) and Geraint Wyn Davies (the lead) say the series was aiming for a kind of Anne Rice idea; that was the main influence, and the Lestat series has obviously been an enduring influence on a lot of subsequent vampire fiction one way or another (whether it's Buffy, Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, whatever), probably second only to Dracula. You can probably put all this stuff in the same continuum of genre television as superhero shows.

I saw the most recent Flash episode and I see why they always have Cavanagh take the cowl off when Reverse-Flash isn't doing the blurry vibration thing; doesn't look as good with it up, unless he's doing the glowy eyes at the same time.
