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.
Posting this here because it's the Doctor Who article that I liked best, but a beta of the new 'zine PEP is online here.
The DW piece is about the Time War, and how the various books/audio series and the new TV series are interwoven even when they contradict each other. Perhaps especially then.
It's all evidence that there is one big story. We just can't see it: it's too big. We don't have the perceptions to see all of our own history properly. Likewise we cannot see all of the history of the Time War. All we can see is the way that the stories we do understand are warped and reflected around it.[...]
So the origin of the Time War is the destruction of Gallifrey: it is the beginning, not the end. The battle is to determine whose fractured history leads up to that point; and the prize is who gets the future afterwards.
(Other topics include Grant Morrison, Leonard Cohen, cricket, Scott Walker, how TV makes you sick, The Avengers, & the Lib Dem party.)
wikipedia has a table of vampire traits:

I was just skimming that table and then practically did a spit-take when my eyes were caught by "only to female rabbits" and "comical/delicious/tasty snack." My brain was going one direction and then whoosh! suddenly things got yanked totally in another direction.
I don't recall the vampires in Blade being shown to lack reflections... did they?
And I *know* that stakes were specifically not fatal in Dracula, Stoker made a point that decapitation was necessary afterwards.
I am so jealous of that trailer.
Inspired by Tiger, IO9 has compiled science fiction apologies. The compilation of 10 saying sorry makes me want to watch his run again, badly.
Wow, Ten really is sorry, he's so sorry.
I was sorry I stuck through most of that series of clips.
I loved it. And a couple of them (Donna, Blackpool!Doctor) were quite affecting. And it wasn't even complete. But I doubt you have the thing for Ten I do. I wonder how much Nine said sorry.

Spoilery for the monsters that will show up in the next series.
