We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

Leena was under the influence of some artifact or evil influence that can be forgiven, if they want her good again.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I was surprised they would end the first season on such a cliffhanger. Is it definitely coming back?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It got record numbers for them, so I'd think it was a done deal.

They definitely ordered a second season. But I'm pretty sure everything was shot long before the first episode even aired.

It's kinda...flat that all McPherson wanted was revenge.

Can't be all he was after. He must have had time after he was through the umbilicus and before he left the Warehouse entirely to do something. He said something about coding, maybe he's gotten himself a backdoor now and can drop in whenever he likes, now that that pesky acidic blood obstacle is taken care of.

I can't even speculate about Leena, not enough background.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I got very confused about what McPherson wanted. I actually found the whole episode confusing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I thought what MscPherson wanted was to force them to remove the blood thing, but I could be wrong.

If Artie did have the Phoenix thing on him, would he use it knowing innocent people would die?

And wouldn't those innocent people probably be Pete and Myka?

I forgot about that part.

That certainly seemed to be the main thing he got, that we know of, so I have to agree.

Artie's hand in his pocket was very suggestive. He'd been just putting things away (I find myself quite curious about that sombrero) just before the alarms sounded, so it could have been anything in there..
