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.
I'll watch pretty much anything with werewolves in it, so I probably would have stuck around until the end even if Kavan Smith hadn't been the male lead. But as I said on TwoP, I'd really like to see that movie remade with the same cast and maybe the same premise, if not full script, but about 5x the budget, Greg Cannom doing practical creature effects instead of their video game-esque CGI, and Todd Holland directing.
One thing I'll actually give them kudos for (though it may be a matter of Felicia Day having to do her own stunts because they couldn't afford stunt doubles), the fight scenes where Red was hand-to-hand with werewolves actually seemed realistic. She was getting thrown around by stronger opponents, didn't recover instantly, and her wins looked like they came from skill and craftiness rather than her being some Xena-esque figure who could defy physics.
He is just a darling human.
From io9, a vaguely spoilery (in the sense of "something we're probably not going to do") quote from Steven Moffat (Doctor Who show-runner and producer):
In the old series, they did off a couple of [companions]. I'm not saying we'll never do it, but it's not that kind of a show. It's not gritty. It's kind of a lovely, life-affirming, optimistic show without a cynical bone in its body. It's almost odd when you see it in competition with things like Battlestar Galactica, and you think, Well that's not us at all. We're the story of a wonderful man from space who can travel in a telephone box! But I'm not guaranteeing I won't kill someone in the future!
I've included this because he mentions BSG, so this sorta' fits with our recent discussion.

sumi, that belongs in Natter, right?
Oh, I'm sorry - I'll repost over there.
I completely forgot about Red. If anyone else is interested, it seems to be rerunning on December 18.

eta: I don't think I've ever watched
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
Do they have all the guests ending up sitting together with the host? Because it would be funny if they did that with Matt Smith and a Dalek, after Ferguson interviews the Dalek....
The Walking Dead:
Who predicted that Merle would saw off his own hand? Which makes brutal sense... but then where did he go and how?
