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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Andi and I thought of Spaced.

Oh, nice. That hadn't occurred to me, but as soon as you said it, I got what you meant.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Victor, we stayed up and caught the midnight showing too. Was that head banging thing new or part of the Whoverse?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Head banging was new, but Ten started "leaking" info in a mind meld with The Madame de Pompadour...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

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

Well, it was a novel delivery system, but basically, he's done basically the same thing before. For instance with Reinette in "The Girl in the Fireplace."

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The trajectory for the season of Eureka that makes a lot of sense to me is that things do ultimately go back to "normal", if only because we have to get Baltar back then to found the town.

What this does, then, is allow exploration of...stuff: Fargo/Jo, Possible Fargo competence, Carter/Tess, Henry/Whatshername

Fargo/Jo would have interesting implications back in the original timeline. I fear that sending Baltar back would give Allison a City on the Edge of Forever-type moment if they go forward with that ship. What I fear is that living in this 'verse (with whatever her role is) is a path to get her to quit her job at GD and "focus on her family" or some nonsense like that (not that it's not a valid life choice for real people. It'd just be kind of a crap move for the character). I will be interested to see how Shroedinger's Relationship (Carter/Tess) plays out.

But it seems like the real pay-off would be taking the lessons from this universe into the original one. I just don't see them letting Fargo stay the head of GD "forever" (yes, I mean those as quotation marks, not italics).

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Oh my God.

I just watched such_heights' vid for little Amelia(note: spoilers through the finale) and I JUST got the connection between the finale and "Vincent and the Doctor".

That connection?

" Starry Night "

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Coming to the conversation late, but I really liked "Eureka" although I'm not sure I feel about how everything will play out. I dislike Tess something fierce and am now very surprised to find myself rooting for Carter/Allison. They've built up some real chemistry over the years.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Whereas I actually like Tess and I'm a bit tired of the endless will-they-won't-they of Jack and Allison. I feel like they missed that bus, and it's a disservice to both characters to keep bringing it back around.

However Burrell, I think the showrunners are with you, so. ::shrugs::
