Mal ,'Safe'
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.
If pilots and air traffic controllers were all unconscious for two minutes and seventeen seconds, isn't it possible that a plane could wander into and crash into a no-fly area?
That's what I was thinking, Jon. I wish I hadn't already erased it off my DVR, because now I want to go back and watch the blackout sequence from the first ep and see if they showed what happened in Washington or alluded to it in the newscasts that followed everyone regaining consciousness.
It's probably worth noting that the original novel was written in 1999 before there was a no-fly zone -- if the crash is actually something that was carried over from the book plot, anyway.
Air crashes should just be near airports, since the planes would probably be on autopilot, wouldn't they? And if they carried forward no no-fly zone, that's bad writing.
I've got a little bit extra confused sauce over why they seem to have forgotten the best parts of Henry and the Big Guy's relationship that was so poignantly played out at the end of last season. I don't particularly look for slash but I thought that was nicely handled.
Didn't Ryan Robbins get freaked out by Henry/Bigfoot slashers at conventions? Though frankly, how he could have failed to notice that vibe between the characters while Heyerdahl was caressing his cheek and telling him they'd go through the journey together escapes me...
I agree, Matt. I thought there wasn't an implication but pretty serious specific interactions that made me think there was a relationship between the two.

National Airport is pretty close to the city.
Cold be worse, the pilots could be playing on their laptops and miss a whole city...
Man, the later seasons of X-Files make me forget just how fun that show was in its prime. SciFi just aired the "Bad Blood" episode with the Rashomon treatment of Mulder & Scully's investigation of vampire killings in Texas, and reminded me why it used to be appointment telivision for me. Complete with Luke Wilson wearing buck teeth and Mulder waking up from a drugged stupor singing the theme song from Shaft.
And Scully in the middle of an autopsy going, "Wow, I really want a pizza." (Paraphrased) I use to get together with a bunch of friends to watch the show. It was really good the first 5 or so years.
It has been long enough that I am ready for X-Files rewatch. I never watched the last seasons. That should probably stay the case.

I told the boys that the straying pilots were playing WoW and they totally believed me.
