Well, so much for that.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah. They're probably only good at lizard health care....

Oh, hey! The preview just made me change what I was going to post, so never mind.
Hmmm, that's a lot to miss, the reptiles among us all this time.

Yeah, I guess I was a little early.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Who is mysterious-call receiving man's girlfriend? What's she been in? Also, she's very pretty.
Lourdes Benedicto. I remember from The Nine. She was the teller who was killed.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So...the terrorism thing isn't even a metaphor? Not even a thinly disguised one?
Actually, I think that's okay. Because in 2009, anything that even remotely hinted at being a terrorism metaphor would have been called out (rightly so) as a ham-handed, hackneyed attempt at relevance.
Better to just come out with it.
Also, apparently The Boy was right to be afraid of Alan Tudyk!

I only caught parts of it. I was switching over from SYTYCD. I'll have to rewatch online to get a real sense of it. What I did see reminded me of the original plot.

What do the visitors call themselves when they're not visiting?
Homeys.

Heh.
OK, I never watched the original V. In that one, were there sleeper visitors? Because with this show, we don't need to learn a little bit of the Visitors' plan at a time; we have Visitors on our side who can just tell us everything right away. Which is maybe not so good for a series.

I was trying to remember, tommyrot. I don't think there were Visitors here first in the original, but someone else (Vortex, Bonnie?) might remember better.
