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.
Really liked the FBI/what's an FBI?/the FBI has been defunct for a decade bit from the last ep, because I hadn't noticed she shouted it when she was rescuing the kid, so when he brought it up from his hospital bed, I was all, "Wha...? Oh!"
I noticed when she said it, but it didn't register as weird since I didn't know there was no FBI on the Other Side.
I also thought Broyles' (sp?) kid was played really well. Good job, actor kid.
Yeah, he was really good. With the tears!
ZOMG AAAARGGGH MESSAGE FOR PETER YAAARRGGH.
I really don't want this show to be canceled! It's one of my very favorite shows right now. My favorite show on network TV, even. (Favorite on cable: Terriers. Favorite on premium cable: Dexter.)
I just realized that this season of
Fringe
is basically like season three of
Farscape.
I want both Charlie and Lincoln from the AU to come over and work with "our" Olivia.
Yes to this. I don't want to lose them!
in order for that to work, we need to send two people from our universe over there.
My first instinct was to give them some politician I don't like, but I kind of love the AU so that would be mean to them.
Maybe we can give them our Bono and some other entertainer they don't have. Not that I don't like Bono - I do - but we've already gotten to enjoy him; they should get to as well. And he'd write some awesome songs about the Amber Tragedy. I wonder if they have Springsteen; maybe we can send ours over on a similar mission.

I have had that thought and it worries me; I don't want Peter to have to watch Fauxlivia die. I like both Olivias too much.
Santuary: I thought Henry and the Big Guy were in a romantic relationship. Was I wrong about that all this time? The subtext actually seemed to be screaming TEXT.
I think being asked about that in Season 1 freaked Ryan Robbins out enough that they backed off almost any onscreen personal interaction between the two characters later in the series.
Though how he could film multiple takes of Christopher Heyerdahl cradling his cheek and telling him they would go through his journey together and not pick up on the subtext until someone questioned him about it afterward is a mystery to me.

I'm not sure why that storyline was so unceremoniously dropped. I thought it was great, and very well carried out by the actors. That memory totally pulled me out of this latest episode. I ended up ffing to the Tesla bits and ignoring the rest.
Hey, I had a thought about the whole zombie movie/show tradition of not calling them zombies: maybe it's because to be zombies they'd have to have been called forth in that particular voudoun ritual and lots of "zombie" movies have walking dead type creatures that owe nothing to a ritual.
And I must say that I am enjoying that
The Walking Dead
only cares about how it's people are surviving and not so much what the hell happened. I do hope that this is not because they have no clue what happened - just that it can't be their concern yet.
I finished the first series of Doctor Who last night (the new first series, not the stuff from the 60s) and I'm LOVING it. So, thank you all for the recommendation!!
The Walking Dead
-- so we still don't know what became of Merle? AND, Rick and the rest RAN back to the camp!? From downtown Atlanta?
with backpacks and other items weighing them down.
doesn't anyone know how to hotwire a car?

Yay!
I think season two is my fave of the new series. Also, be sure to watch the Christmas Special before season two (on iTunes at least, the Christmas Special is the first episode of season two).
The Christmas Special is listed at the first episode of season two on Netflix as well, which I was glad about; I was going to be annoyed if I had to track down the Christmas specials elsewhere!!
My favorite episodes of the first season were definitely The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. Super creepy but really fantastic. I might have nightmares every time I see a gas mask for the rest of my life, but oh well.
