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.

One of my favorite lines of dialogue ever was on Doctor Who's "Blink" episode, when Sally Sparrow is leaving the video store and the store worker yells at the movie he's watching, "Go to the police! Why doesn't anyone ever go to the police!!" Which, of course, gets Sally to go to the police.

Yes, but how many dialing combinations would you try before giving up?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It comes with a power source?

And it should be the Pegasus version, not the horrifically clunky Milky Way version, that sounded like a jalopy about to keel over.

Good point ita. Of course, if hooked up to a normal power grid, things might dim in one's general area when in use.

"What the?"

Being Human has been renewed for season 3.
In other British sci fi...well, not news, since the show's cancelled, but I was bored and caught an episode of Demons. How did I fail to notice that Mina was blind? Now that I know, I realise she's especially crap at acting it (she navigates steps at an angle with no hesitation and without her cane touching the ground) 0, but show really got that little of my attention over two episodes that I thought she just had a really good sense of smell.
The reveal that she was a vampire was a bit of a non-reveal, though. Hello. Mina.
