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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
UK Who: I completely loved it, in a 'Simon Nye* is my new hero' way, up until about half way through - when it got a bit silly. Wasn't in the least bit interested in the elderly people with eyeballs in their mouths. (And I flinched every time they hit an old person. I know, they were aliens, but I couldn't watch!) Basically, a good concept, not as well executed as it could have been.
But there were some great moments, especially on the part of Matt Smith, who seems to be getting better every week. I adore the nervously manic side of this Doctor. His little apology about landing in their flowers was so cute. And Rory wasn't as bad as last week. I liked him better once we'd put some character to him, via his dream of being a quiet, settled village doctor with a wife who bakes cakes. Which marks him out as being, in fact, a very different character from Mickey. So I'm willing to take back my complaint there, if he continues to develop.
*Talking of whom, he was always a good comedy writer, but wasn't this his first Doctor Who episode? I don't remember seeing his name in the credits before.
Flashforward: "He told my mother he would take care of me. He didn't say it would be good care. It wasn't."
I am bummed about Flashforward. I'm much more interested in knowing what happens next with it, rather than V.
Who UK:
In news only interesting to me, I'm sure
I think the show playing on the tv in upper left corner of Amy & Rory's kitchen was Who:Baker flavor. (I initially thought Pertwee, but have reconsidered. Though the logo doesn't look Whovian, so I could be totally wrong.)
Keener eyes than mine
might even be able to discern the episode. If so, I'll bet it's significant in some Moffaty sort of way.
Also, it was very cool that the Doctor
didn't struggle with Amy's choice for suicide by portico.
That whispered
'okay' from him, and the key clench, really warmed my heart.
Nevermind that last bit...retyped over something I misheard.
Tumdedum...anywhoo. Did anyone see any
crack business
? I didn't catch any at all.
rather than V.
I never even watched Flashforward and I preferred it over V (which I did watch, at the outset)

Ditto. When I was on my Sudafed buzz a couple of nights ago, I was having all sorts of FF dreams of what might happen and I very firmly came to the conclusion that
Janice's baby is now going to turn out to be a boy. I don't know why, but it would really skew everything all sorts of sideways.
Another great Who moment:
"There's only one person in the Universe who hates me as much as you do." Ouch. Paging Dr. Freud.
