If only they'd do the same for MI-5 (they'd have to have major marathoning to get the US caught up) and L&O:UK.
River ,'War Stories'
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.

How far back are we on L&O:UK?
Well, I'm not sure the second season (if there is going to be one) has aired in the UK yet. (So it would be totally possible for them to air them in the US in a timely manner.)
ETA: Except that I'm wrong. They've run four series of L&O:UK already.
Wow.
I've seen at least the first episode of the second series on BBCA..and this is off topic--take to procedurals for further discussion.
Oops! Forgot this wasn't the BBCA thread! Heh. Yes, Primeval! I caught an ep at the hotel and liked it. I get frustrated by the tv schedules thing, so maybe I'll try and keep up this year if it's going to be current.

Sorry if someone else has posted this - I've skipped about 450 posts.
Primeval came back! I wonder if they'll get Abby and Connor out of that tree.
I have finally finished watching Fringe, and yeah, y'all were right: it's awesome. Well, Olivia is awesome. And Walter is terrifying. And Peter is kind of ridiculous--I cannot take him seriously as a badass or as a super-genius or even as Olivia's Great Love.
But I don't mind because the show has a great HSQ.
Although I do have logic-based issues with a universe that has so many small (and large) differences and yet the entire cast is duplicated (and in roughly the same roles)--the butterfly effect being what it is, realistically most of them should not exist at all. At least, so I see it.
But hey, I watched SG-1 and Farscape, so I can live with AUs.
Speaking of Farscape, yay Zuisa! It only gets better from here!

Not when the universe is powered by handwavium.
In any case, we have no Lincoln, as far as we know. So there's at least one example.
Walter is one of the great characters, a loveable, absent minded-genius with the knowledge of the wrong that he did vs. a cold-blooded, ruthless manipulator who will sacrifice everything for what he believes is right. So similar and so different. They should be inventing awards for John Noble.
And no Humphrey Bogart either.
The world-building would be more solid if the point of divergence had been associate with Peter's childhood, but then you wouldn't have had the cool visuals of the zeppelins, so I guess it works out. And most people are not nearly as anal about AUs as I am.
