Indeed. Scary.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

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 Walter was just so thrilled at the idea of Peter and Olivia going out. This show would be nothing without him. He goes from kicked puppy to evil genius so well. I kick myself for not having watched the first season.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I do not want a romance between the two characters. at all. I had a visceral negative reaction when they almost kissed.
Yeah, I'm annoyed that they're moving in that direction again when they had seemingly (and wisely) dropped it in favor of the good brother/sister dynamic they had going for them.
And then suddenly she can see the glimmer that he's from an alternate universe.
I went, "Oooooh. OOOOOOOOH." I love that little moment of surprise where you realize you should have seen something coming, and you know it's about to come. (Oh! I just remembered that that hippie chick Walter experimented on also saw the glimmer on Peter.)
Does tonight's episode indicate that when Peter was stolen from the other Universe that another child was pulled out of this universe?
Whooooa.
Also, Bell's combination is 5-20-10. As in May 20, 2010. Which is a Thursday. And presumably the date of the finale. In which crazy shit is bound to happen.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Indeed. I was sitting there on the couch WAITING for Olivia to see the glimmer on Peter. I half expected it when they almost kissed, although I like what happened better. Instead of being an explosion, it becomes a knife twist. well played.

That was Prez! Oh, poor Mr. Prezbo.
Also, it looks like the AU spells it "Manhatan."

If that was the AU, that's a nice touch opening the show on the other side, with that building about to go on a trip. I'll have to rewatch it so I can see I can spot things like the double-decker car.

Yes, I noticed the spelling right away and was appalled and then I realized it was the AU NYC.

I noticed the misspelled name, but I wasn't certain afterward that we'd been seeing the AU, but I think it was. Because that's where they would have been feeling the tremors. It's a perspective issue: we assumed we started out in the real world, and Prez got Alt-Prez smashed into him. But what actually happened was that we started out in the AU, and Alt-Prez smashed into Prez.
I...oh goddammit, wait, DUH. That explains why he was working on the NEW PENTAGON. Because the Pentagon was destroyed in the AU 9/11. Along with the White House, which I think we saw in other newspaper.
