Isn't that what Segways were invented for?

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, but Segways don't go "Exterminate! Exterminate" as they carry you about.

All is well that ends in pizza.
You could build a Dalek around a Segway....

Vampire Diaries: I can't remember, what is the thing with new vampires and feeding or not feeding in this 'verse? It's, like, a Thing, right?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
-t-- I think it is the Human blood, whether from killing or not, that makes them raxy-- so killing humans is worse than drinking bloodbank blood is worse than killing animals.
I just posted in Cable Drama, but I keep thinking perhaps I am losing my mind because this show is just so enjoyable and well-written to me:
I just watched, and I cannot get over how, although this show (or perhaps because this show) doesn't really seem to have deep themes, it seems to avoid every TV show storytelling mistake ever. Or it least it totally does not draw things out at all, and yet everything seems completely in character. I mean, things just move along in a satisfying way. It is sort of like Kevin Williamson maybe learned some things from Dawson's Creek.

I thought there was some sort of time limit - when the brother's girlfriend (the one that wasn't a vampire when he met her, man that family has rotten luck) got turned, wasn't there something where if she didn't feed she wouldn't turn all the way? Not that it matters currently, I was just trying to remember how it worked.
The way it just moves right along does seem striking in the current TV landscape. It's kind of a constant pleasant surprise that they pose some question and, boom, answer it right away. I like it.

Also "ambiguously supernatural mystery uncle" is dandy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In character? I…didn't Damon break Jeremy's neck? Can I have a little repercussion? They punch it up at the end of every episode, and I appreciate the pacing, but it think they also totally cheat on the ramifications with omnipresent magic rings, instant forgiveness, and off-centre stakings.
