Per an earlier conversation, I will just say that I've seen part of 10 of those top 20 shows, and all of definitely 1, maybe 2....
Also, I'm sad if that means the end of Stark again.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What is even happening?
Oh Haven, having the French woman (re-)school Nathan in the art of love. Tsk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, the Haven not feeling thing is beyond stupid. Did the almost-sex heal him? Because his very next scene was of him turning off a switch by feel.
Not to mention all the other things in his life he obviously can't do without tactile feedback.

Colin, if you peek in here in the near future, could you kiss whoever wrote tonight's hallucination-sparked realization by Jo for me?

HA! Callis' character claimed to be hallucinating "a tall, lanky blonde in a slinky red dress"!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Heh - oh James Callis, never stop hallucinating.
Ha! Yeah. (also directed at quester's comment. Nice)
I missed the first 8 minutes or so of Eureka. Anything important in that? I came in just before the bridge collapsed.

I'm sad that Stark's not back for real, though. I miss him.
Seriously. I'll take the limited Ed Quinn, but yeah (I miss him on True Blood too, even though he was only in a couple of episodes).
Which begs a few questions: a) why did Jack immediately assume it was HIS timeline Stark (even the "miss me" line could have referred to events this Jack wasn't around for, b) why haven't either Jack or Allison bothered to check if Stark was dematerialized in this timeline, and c) why WOULD Stark have been dematerialized in this timeline?
Finally, how much abuse can a poor deputy take? I mean, really.
ETA - I still haven't even gotten around to watching the new BSG, and the James Callis gags were killing me.

I think ita, Cindy and I are the only ones watching "Haven." This isn't the best show in the world, and yet here I am every week watching the show!
Isn't there a difference between "not feeling pain" and "not feeling anything?"
I think it is ridiculous that he can't feel anything. How does he function normally? How does he touch anything?

It's my understanding that real world people who have diminished or absent senses of touch (like lepers) have to function mainly through visual cues. Also, monitor themselves constantly for cuts and abrasions to avoid the infections that used to lead to rotting and amputation.
