Do you think the charade had a real answer?
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
3 word movie title. There was something chicken related, as well as him pointing to his fist.
I wondered if there was an answer, as well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hope so. That would be funnier.
There was also something about hula dancing, maybe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Eeeeee.
Fox made a movie-style trailer for this week's Fringe. It's totally badass, and it's not spoilery!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That trailer is most excellent. And it's only Wednesday.

Looks like someone got into Aaron Sorkin's stash of "special" mushrooms.

Well, if it is indeed true he's done most of the heavy lifting to date--and it does make more sense with a limited series than with a 22 ep run, maybe it's reasonable. And it's not like he's going to do the whole next season by himself, either.

I don't know, though. I'd think an actual writers bullpen would work more cohesively than hiring freelancers on a per-script basis, even if he's going to heavily revise each script himself.
Also, very strange to respond to having an unexpected huge hit by making such a sweeping change to its formative process.

If this means that the dialogue gets better, I'm all for it!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm with Matt. I find his actions puzzling. Think about all the great tv shows of the past 20 years. Didn't they all have a stable group of writers, not a lone wolf?
The only show I can recall that had a lone wolf writer and some other writers here and there for 80-90% of its run was "The Tudors" and well, that was not. good.
