Hey, the X-Files and Fringe did/does it all the time! And so does the Criminal Minds gang -- they even have their own jet!
Benford et alia work for the SFF FBI, for gosh sake.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Fringe deals with other dimensions though, so I can forgive them! :-)

You know, if they can figure out how to travel between dimensions, you would think that they could figure out a better way to travel within one dimension.

Art Crawl!!!
But they can drive from Boston to PA in, like, zero time. Clearly the Fringe team's cars have been given the same upgrades that Metallicar has.

I loved the look on Noh's face during the gunfight. Everyone feels they can't die if they saw something, but I think he feels extra that he can't die because he knows precisely when he's supposed to.
Oh my god, totally.
Plus the karaoke -- like, "I'm gonna die, so I might as well make a fool of myself!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fringe and XFiles tended to stay within the US. Criminal Minds hasn't made it past Gitmo. Wait, no, Machismo was in Mexico. But still-limited travel.

But Fringe does get to AU USA. Hey, they went to Germany last season, didn't they?

Fringe went to Baghdad this season, to meet Mysterious Scarred Man.

FF: I initially thought the CIA guy's testimony, that the Chinese were behind the blackout, was being strictly played for laughs. But, given that all the hitmen at the end seemed to be Chinese, I'm wondering if that angle is going to be pursued more. My current theory is that the CIA, or some other goverment people (maybe even President Coyote who made that phone call after the FBI guy blackmailed him) sent the hitmen partly as a way of advancing the CIA theory.
