Anya ,'Bring On The Night'
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.
After viewing FlashForward, I am all about OMG JOHN CHO.
Ditto. So it's not just me!
Fringe was a little meh in comparison to last week's
Did I miss something about why the guy would create a kid like that? Sure, it helped him live, but there really can't be an upside to such a thing.
I am assuming, though, that Walter's allusions to the repercussions of inter-dimensional travel mean that that's what made him ... the way he is.

He had clearly never seen an episode of The X-Files before.

Oooh. I didn't think about that!
Haven't seen FlashForward, yet. This will be remedied.
Fringe: Walter is breaking my heart. He is clearly very worried about Olivia. She isn't usually my favorite character, but his concern for her drags me along.
I'm wondering if the problem isn't GOING to an alternate dimension so much as COMING BACK. Which would explain why his son hasn't had such problems.
Eureka is on hiatus again, isn't it?
I would like to point out that after a catastrophe of that magnitude, no way they'd have consistent power and cell phone signals. That kept pulling me out a little.
I've been reading Slacktivist's critique of the Left Behind books, and one of the big criticisms is that, after the first 50 or 100 pages, the authors simply ignore what the actual, real-world implications of billions of people disappearing would be (plane and car crashes, cleaning up same, economic meltdown, martial law, anarchy).
That's what I kept thinking of last night -- like, by the end of the show, the hospital ER was quiet and there seemed to be no more incoming patients, which doesn't seem possible in an event of that magnitude.
Also, how the hell did Joseph Fiennes and not!Penny make it home? I cannot believe that the roads were cleared by the end of the day, or that they walked.
I'm willing to handwave that, though, because for a work of fiction to deal with that realistically, the result would be boring as shit. Same reason we don't generally see characters in fiction going to the grocery store, or using the bathroom.

But, hey, bonus crapper scene last night!
He was in a MEETING.
He was in a MEETING.
Oh my god, I'm 12, because that scene (particularly his pause before "...a meeting") made me do my loud donkey laugh.
I hope we get more of that. I was expecting that to happen with Olivia's too. I want people to lie about what they saw. It could be fun.
