I can see why Steph thought it was from the Colbert people though--he did have a Colbert/LotR crossover fic on his website.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

“Not dead yet!”
I'm gonna pretend that she knows, in a gut-level way, that the Hobbit is in cahoots with the people behind the blackout and she is playing him to get more info.
That was actually my immediate thought. Because I, too, was yelling NOOOOOOOOO at the screen.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
They've had some awesome hooks at the end of episodes, but this was definitely the best one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Or the worst one. I've not made peace with it.

Yes, I suppose there are two parts to the worthiness of a hook -- first, that it makes the viewer really REALLY want to tune in next episode. The second part is whether the plot payoff for the hook is worth the excitement and gives the satisfaction in the next episode(s).
The second part is much much harder to pull off.

So apparently Tom Welling is producing a pilot for a new tv show on the CW? And it's about cheerleaders? And it's called Helicats?
And... they've cast Ben Browder.

Well, here is all I know about it:
And apparently it's being compared to "Election", "Heathers", and "Friday Night Lights". Which is rather impressive for something that hasn't been shot yet (it's based on a book).
