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.

There's something kinda' funny about the premise of Caprica - a rebellion by the Cylons and then later a genocide against the humans, all caused by (I'm assuming) two pissed-off teenage girls.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I thought BH was okay for a season finale, but I thought the pacing of the episode was flat.

It felt like there were like 5 different ending scenes and that got old around the 3rd one. I was not terribly surprised by any of the events that transpired except maybe Annie. What I don't really understand is Mitchell still being in love with Lucy after all that has happened. It just seems to defy logic and Mitchell's nature.

Whatever, I guess I'll watch next season. I wasn't quite sure I was going to midway through this season.

le nubian. That was the flattest, craziest turn of events. I agree. Except, as it happened, I thought to myself Yeah, she's here so we can see Mitchell's humanity and George's leadership. I bet she bites it before the end. So, yeah. Pretty predictable.

I'm also in agreement with you about contemplating abandoning the franchise mid-season. It was the twists the end that made me perk up. I'll anticipate the new season, whenever it may be.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

bonny -- I just spoiler-fonted your BH post above. If it hasn't aired in the US, it needs to be spoiler-fonted.

Oh, gracious. Thank you Jon.

I was purposefully circumspect but wasn't even thinking about the episode not having aired here. Many apologies.

Scary Chuck is, well, actually scary. Holy shit.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Holy shit, indeed.

In earlier seasons, some silly thing happening in the BuyMore or his personal life would end up being important to the resolution of the desperate situation du jour. Like, "pineapple!" was fantastic. The slapstick humor doesn't seem to have any real payoff anymore. I get that this season is about identity issues, for both Chuck and Sarah, but it would be less irritating for me if the whole push-me-pull-you romance hadn't gone on for 2 years already. I'm looking forward to Chuck resolving his scary-ass spy/goofy nice guy personality schism. Somehow.

I'm not sure that it's the Sarah/Sam thing that's Chuck's big problem at this point, which I think is why Chuck basically told Ellie she was half right (I think he thinks it's trying to have any kind of normal romantic relation). I think Chuck's reached a crisis point with the Intersect. Which I DO find interesting. And I don't necessarily want the spy/guy thing resolved too quickly.

Also, Morgan's absence was interesting. I'd love it if he came back with his ex (who was one of my fave Buy More characters anyway).
