tv_talk! Here it is - our weekly opportunity to chat about non-current TV. Anything goes! Please stop by and tell us what you're watching, what you've been thinking of checking out, etc. Closed canons or something currently airing that you're just behind on -- it's all good. :)
Some possible topics:

Watch-Along: Show of the Month: None

November watchalong suggestions
Maybe by planning ahead we'll have more interest?
Thanks!!
Re: November watchalong suggestions
Touching Evil (US) -- I've never seen this and am interested in watching it for Vera Farminga. It's only 1 season
Leverage

Re: November watchalong suggestions
The US version is available at *cough*thevault*cough, which is where I think I got it at one point. Unsure if the links are still good though and some people don't like to DL - I typically don't much anymore since so much is streaming within a week of airing these days.
I'll note that it's not readily available in the poll. There are
lots ofa few shows being nominated this time (last post there were none) so hopefully we'll get a watch-along show for November.Re: November watchalong suggestions

I haven't watched them yet so I don't know how good the quality is or if they're the full episodes but at least it's something.
There are also some episodes here but they only go up to episode 9.
Re: November watchalong suggestions
Fringe. Because I love it and I'm currently rewatching season three with
China Beach. I was given the entire series for Mother's Day and need a reason to crack open the box.

I have been continuing my Stargate SG-1 rewatch and watched several season 10 episodes. The latest one was Momento Mori, the one where Vala loses her memory and is, for a brief time, a waitress at Sol's Diner.
I loved the episode and have named it one of my favorite in the past. This watch I kind of nitpicked it a bit (must've been in that sort of mood this week - haha) Daniel's appreciation of Vala wasn't as sweet as I recalled and was tinged by being slightly condescending -- the effort she's made to fit in and "mend her ways" feels like he feels her life before was entirely without merit.
BUT.... I still like the episode quite a bit and it still warms my shippy heart. Also, Cam's pants. ;)
Other than that, I've not watched much older stuff this week as there've been fall shows coming back and I've caught up on both Madam Secretary and Criminal Minds.
- What is your all-time favorite TV theme song or opening sequence?
I don't really know if I have one, but I do like large thematic ones that make everything seem epic and important. Like SG-1's opening sequence song. I also like the techno imagery of Orphan Black's title sequence - as a vidder I'm impressed. Copper had a surprisingly fresh and yet still vintage opening that was pretty well put together.
- Saddest TV moment(s)?
The ending of M*A*S*H will always make me weep

Continuing with Voyager. I think I'm nearing the end of S2.
- What is your all-time favorite TV theme song or opening sequence?
I've always loved DS9's opening visuals and music, and I'm becoming pretty fond of Voyager's now as well. I've also always liked the Doctor Who opening. ~ And oh yes, I second
- Saddest TV moment(s)?
Thinking about it, I can think of a lot more moments that make me "happy-cry" (if that makes any sense?), but for sadness, probably "The Body" from BtVS.

*sniff*
Voyager! What's going on near the end of season 2? I'm assuming Kes is still around (I can't remember when she left).
no subject
I think my most reliable Happy-Cry Blubber moment is in BtVS S7, "Showtime" when Buffy finally rescues Spike from The First. I cry EVERY TIME. :p

YES! They're both so good.

I find that while I can watch while I'm doing something else like browsing the internet, I miss too much and wind up not watching because I'm distracted by the internet. /woe
Although I will re-watch while surfing.
I hear Scandal is pretty good. What is your favorite thing about it so far?
no subject
I do sort of multi-task when I watch sometimes, depending on what I'm watching (somethings demand more of my attention than others). I write in my journal, work on my to-do list, make the grocery list and very rarely do something crafty. But I watch pretty much all my TV on my computer so I don't do web stuff or anything on the computer itself while watching.
I like the intensity and fast pace of Scandal and a lot of the characters and the weird complexity that it has in the second season.

i intend to rewatch abc's short-lived but adorable 10 things i hate about you and the first season of the x-files before the end of the month.

You could nominate it for our next watch-along show. I think there are several fans here and it might inspire some fellow re-watchers. It's been so long, I haven't seen it since it aired but I really loved it.

Season one is still my favorite season of The X-Files, but I love seasons two and three nearly as much.

Any of them your favorites?

(And while I'm not active in the DW fandom, I sort of skim past the bits about the behind the scenes difficulties and kerfluffles; there might have been conflict, but they certainly all were professional enough to hide it in the finished product.)

Closed canon: The X-Files season two. We had good discussions for "Little Green Men" and "The Host." Nothing so far for "Blood" and "Sleepless." Tomorrow's episode is "Duane Barry." We'll see how it goes. An entire season in a month might be too much of a good thing. We did more than 25 episodes last year but...
Fringe-Rewatch just started back with "Olivia" which is the best season opener of any series I've ever seen. Minus Fringe's usual science-fail, it is a perfect episode of television, which I have re-watched countless times with pleasure.
Open canon:
I watched the pilot and second episode of How to Get Away With Murder. I tuned in to watch Viola Davis, but not even she can rescue this mess for me. The entire premise is—preposterous, which will not keep anyone else from watching it, I know. It will probably be a huge hit, in fact. But I'm outta there.
I also watched the pilot and episode two of Madame Secretary. I loved TĂ©a Leoni in the title role and like all of the actors cast in it. I like the family bits and work stuff too. I'm going to keep watching--for now--and hope it makes it through an entire season without being cancelled.
We're two episodes behind on Nashville.
- What is your all-time favorite TV theme song or opening sequence?
It's a toss up between Voyager and Deep Space Nine.
- Saddest TV moment(s)?
The X-Files: "William". I'm still not over it.

I'm really enjoying Madam Secretary, it's one of the few fall shows I'm watching. I hope it makes it through an entire season, too. Have you heard it's in danger?
