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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Completely independently of this conversation, Todd put on the first full-length zombie movie tonight. Although it's set in Haiti, the zombie-master is Bela Lugosi (yay, rah, cultural appropriation). The zombie in question (or, at least the main one) isn't actually dead. Rather, Bela can put the "life" back into her--or, at least, the minor bad guy would like him to. More updates are the movie continues. I don't need to spoiler-font a movie from the 30s, right?
Definitely "control" as the primary verb, rather than "infect", and, yeah, they're primarily used as labor drones, rather than flesh-eating whatever.
eta: Yes, you can indeed revive a zombie by throwing Bela Lugosi off a cliff. In case you were wondering.
I just caught up on the End of Time discussion. I really liked all the endings and especially Jack in the cantina. I didn't see it as the doctor helping Jack pull. I though it was 10 saying, "look, I found an Alonso!" and it seemed like Midshipman Frame could really use a Jack right about then.
I didn't see it as the doctor helping Jack pull.
I saw it as more matchmaking than pulling. But I got the (completely unspoiled) feeling that Alonso would be part of any next season of Torchwood.
Oh, that would be lovely, Fred. I like the actor.

definitely. And also, the Doctor telling Jack to move on. It was kind of sad to see Jack in a bar drinking and not scoping out the potential.

I would love that, but he's still on Being Human, isn't he?

We have short TV seasons. He could do both.
I guess the bar scene could be an unidentified amount of time in the future too. I'm not ready for Jack to get over Ianto in real time. I'm not over him.
Do we know if there's going to be a season 3 for Being Human?
I do agree, ita, but, at the same time, that cast needs some people. If Mickey and/or Martha come on, that will help, but they'd still be down one from their prior count, even if they both join up.
I'm really not ready for Jack to be involved with another Torchwood member.
Martha didn't join Torchwood because Freema was on L&O:UK. I don't know if that circumstance has changed. Also, the timeline the Doctor visited them in implied they were off on their own doing their own thing.

Their own thing could very well be what Torchwood has become since CoE.
