You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

bonny, you sure about that? that's an interesting guess. I never thought that at all, but I'm certain he knows who her father is.

Kenzie drives me absolutely crazy. You probably liked Dawn too, right? There's a certain kind of oblivious, self-centered fictional character type that drives me apeshit. When you add poseur and reckless to the mix, I want to choke someone.

Take that BACK. How dare you!! (snicker)

I think the fact that I know a couple of people in rl who present themselves in that way form a genuine quirkiness saves Kenzie from falling onto the poseur pile for me. Reckless? Except for the 'bucket list' stuff of the last episode, I see her making more rational choices than Bo!

Am I sure about Trick? I think so. At least I'm placing my bet. Time will have to tell, but I've got a strong feeling about this. In fact, I'll go a step further and say that I predict that the reason she is so 'important' is that she is the heir to the Blood King and the reason everyone wants her to choose a side goes deeper than 'that's the way it's done'. If she chooses for the family business, light prevails. If not, WAR .

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I really want to watch Lost Girl now!!

Additionally, I'm now 8 episodes into Doctor Who and I absolutely adore it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

bonny, that is interesting! nice theory. but I would go one step further...

I thought her mother was dark and father was light. so I thought her birth was "forbidden." Perhaps the additional reason was her father is the blood king, but who knows? He has been alive a long time, so he must have other children, yes?

Compassionately intolerant

le n, that is what I was thinking, sides-wise. Given the way politics is beaten into the ground in each story, I'm going with power war over 'forbidden outcast child.' Plus, talking about the mother as if she should be feared = power, in my mind .

But I could see how it could go that way.

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

It was great to see Amy Acker on the most recent episode of "No Ordinary Family"; I hope she does more than one episode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fringe moves to Fox's death slot. I suspect this might be worse for Supernatural's ratings than for Fringe's, but Fox is probably itchier on the cancellation trigger finger than the CW.

hwæt

How many more seasons does Supernatural have in it, anyway?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's plotted through 8, and the leads are signed through 7. It's on 6 right now. Ratings will determine if we ever see that far.
