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.
Wasn't Katherine wearing the obligatory leather pants?
"Jose Chung's From Outer Space" is by far my favorite X-Files episode (with "War of the Coprophages" and "bad Blood" taking silver and bronze), but I think "Home" has a fair claim on being the most powerful and memorable.
I am not clear on how the time-travel shenanigans saved Allison on Eureka.
Carter took more of the blow by barreling past them?
I got it, except for then their clothes changed and I got confused again.
Carter had to disrupt whatever Beverly was doing, because that was what caused Allison to die. So he left himself the message to do it. Why Grant and him reverted to their old clothes...not sure. Why exactly her stuff had killed Allison in the first place?
Okay, I guess I didn't get the details.
Matt, is "Bad Blood" the vampire episode with the Wilson brother playing the sheriff in the town that turns to be populated by vampires? And we see the episode in he-said/she-said POVs? Because I love that episode, I just suck at remembering X-Files titles.
Why Grant and him reverted to their old clothes...not sure.
I believe the intention was that at that moment, Carter & Grant went back in time and then the Carter & Grant that had gone back in time took their place. You need to handwave lots of timey-wimey paradoxes, but that's the gist of it.
Panicky in-the-know Carter honking his horn caused Allison and Henry to act differently when they got in the SUV to run, and Allison fastened her seatbelt.
edit: that's the one, Morgana.

This is by far my favorite STNG.
I liked the X-Files that had good interaction between Mulder and Scully, like the one with the invisible swamp creatures and the one with the not!Loch ness monster.

That's what I thought, but the car still flipped . Time-traveling Grant and Jack returning to the present I could put down to either Grant's plan in the past succeeding or general timey-wimey weirdness.
Eta: OK, the seatbelt thing fits the camerawork. I'm still a little hazy on what happened either time.

Okay, that's one hell of a gamble. How could he possibly know she'd fasten her seatbelt? I mean, it makes sense that it would save her, but not necessarily that she'd do that.
My god, I thought I understood it, and now I'm completely adrift.
