I've never read the books. I've heard that the first Roswell series basically only used them as setup for the characters. But if they are going to be used as backstory, it might be worth it. We still have a long wait for the premiere, though hopefully we'll get some spoilers while they are filming.

In the Killjoys verse, sexual mores are so alien to my own that I don't even try to define the characters in that way. I see the D/J relationship as all part of the larger "Dutch in the normally male role of kick-ass, emotionally damaged action hero" thing. I have no idea where they will end up, though I can also see when those two are in a room together, everyone else is on the outside. Their (AA/HJK) chemistry really subverts whatever story the writers are trying to tell.

Honestly, I love Jean Smart in anything, so if they could get her - I'd be in. Still, anything DW will at least get a few episodes from me.

It would be nice if they could circle back to the nine and tie things together somehow.

Even though I am enjoying this season, I don't disagree about it being convoluted. One thing that irritates me is when shows move the goal posts, like Aneela was the big bad, until she wasn't. Then it was the Lady and who knows, maybe by the end of this season it will be something/someone else? I wish I didn't like the actress who plays DSK so much, because the character really is reprehensible. But between Dutch owing a debt to Aneela for saving her life and not being willing to waste any possible weapon that would help them in their fight, I can accept that they would not kill her out of hand.

Another awesome episode. That said, I could use a standalone episode right about now, just to catch my breath and process it all.

That's disappointing to hear.

Not sure of how UO it is but RJ and Dorian should have had a Casablanca type ending. I loved their friendship. She was so much better with them than romantic relationships.

My husband and I are doing a rewatch of Castle right now and the Echo lights up every damn time the show says the daughter's name, so I'm guessing it's the same here. (I watch Reverie, when I watch anyway, on my tablet in an Echo free zone.)

Didn't Deacon and Amber interact on Y&R ten years or so ago? I think I watched a bit of it but don't remember much. I would love to have either or both characters back on B&B but then I loved Deacon and Quinn and would rather have that again and use Amber somewhere else. ETA: Sean Kanan seems to wear out his welcome whenever he gets rehired on a soap. I'm still bitter about how he was treated on GH but it does appear to be a pattern with him.

This is a particularly nasty level of trolling on their part and while momentarily amusing, it leaves a bitter aftertaste. IMO, it just shows they know we want out of this crap and it's not going to happen. (Read that last part like a Soup clip.) The direction they're taking with ToD (+ Bill) feels like them letting the air out of the balloon again. The sad thing is that this time around it's really ruined both Ridge and $Bill for me. I can't stand watching either one anymore. Though the tiny glimmer of silver lining has been more Justin. I wish he had a real story line of his own. He's so very, very pretty and I love his voice. (Though if he never says Dollar Bill again, it'll be too soon.)

I've been attributing it to the effect of the pregnancy. We should know more soon, I guess.

It's late and I don't remember if there was any indication from earlier episodes if real Dutch knew what was happening outside Greenspace, but I didn't get a good feeling about her emerging from the green. I wonder if it was because Johnny was in trouble but too soon otherwise? This one had a lot of the typical weakness of any transitional episode but was redeemed by Pip, Zeph and Pree, with the mention of a Jaqobis sandwich. And DSK... even though it feels so wrong.

For the sake of any newcomers who might be lurking, technically PTV's main rule is "Be Civil" (to your fellow posters). Most of the things that get people in hot water stem from that. (Political stuff, racist or homophobic posts, ignoring mod notes, etc.) Carry on... :-)

I watched OLTL off and on from pretty darn close to the beginning but I didn't see every Todd era (jobs, real life before Youtube, etc.). His relationships with Vicki and Starr were what redeemed him in my eyes. It was fascinating to watch a truly reprehensible character build a real life, create real connections and it was just like Todd when he screwed it up again and again. Even with Todd faking the DID, he and Vicki were so much alike in how they survived their Victor Lord legacy. (My HEA was the end of the PP version. GH? La, la, la, I can't hear you.) ARGH!!! I don't miss OLTL daily anymore but all it takes is a post or two... :-(

Yesterday was okay. I'd like to thank the writer who threw us a bone when Ridge suggested Steffy might try being alone for a little while instead of turning to Bill. However, I'm deducting points for making Ridge into the exposition fairy - telling us how something inside Steffy is broken because of Liam. That I'm not buying. The vacant stares and drooping shoulders kind of made me laugh, not the reaction they were probably going for.

Some interesting details about the new service and Stargirl in this interview. https://io9.gizmodo.com/geoff-johns-talks-about-three-jokers-the-shazam-comic-1827938804

Mod Note: We don't need to re-litigate the tweet or the endless (non) explanations. While it's fine to share links with new media content, any discussion of Roseanne following them should go in her thread. Thanks!

Didn't they get married last season?

I love this show. Some of it's just the little things, like nerd Zeph morphing into badass Zeph while still looking 95% the same. Or the big things, like having the Jaqobis Bros. back on my screen. And some new things, like Fairuza, the ex-Scarback. I watched pretty late last night - did I miss what artifact she snagged as her payment? They toned down the DSK evil, OTT stuff a bit too and I'm glad.

Great clip. What a waste of an existing history.

Both Bill and Steffy kind of got what they think they wanted this week but if that body language is foreshadowing, I only see trouble ahead. Steffy couldn't even make eye contact or kiss Bill and she never had any problems with that in the past. $Bill settling for a loveless marriage? Yeah, don't think so. And Steffy thinks the FC shares will give her the power/protection she needs... good luck with that. (Though I think she was smart to get the divorce settlement up front, history being what it is.) The one thing I don't want to see is a Scarlett/Rhett/Ashley ToD, the writers need to go all in with this or it's a waste of time. (Disclaimer: I don't like citing GWTW in this day and age but can't think of another example of this particular kind of triangle. Is there a better one?) Still (no pun intended), I was entertained this last week.

The demo is also one they would like to attract to a streaming service, especially a service that will be offering comics too. If it gets more younger readers dipping into the DCU it's probably a good strategy. For some it probably is more alienating. I know I'm tired of everyone wanting subscriptions from me. Even though I did pay my $75 upfront (for the 15 months/3 free) it was mainly for the comics library. If it hadn't been for that, I would have just waited until Stargirl aired and binge it all at once for $7.99. I would be interested to know if they are going the Netflix route of dropping all episodes at once, or the CBS All Access, where they run weekly.

My main exposure to Stargirl has been Smallville and Legends of Tomorrow but I'm looking forward to seeing how the DC streaming service and Geoff Johns execute it. It's touching that his late sister was the inspiration for it. And after following his involvement from the DC side re: Arrow and some of the other CW stuff, I trust that he's going to do it right. http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/07/24/stargirl-tv-series-dc-universe-cast-geoff-johns-2019/
