I'm way behind on Chuck. Nice use of Timothy Dalton!

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Realizing we're coming up on a new episode of Eureka, I'm suddenly spacing. They are still in the new timeline, right? Jamie Callis is gone, but the timeline's the same. At least that's how I remember it (heh).

I'm really surprised that AMC's marketing department didn't make advertisements touting "The EXPLOSIVE Season Finale of The Walking Dead." Lord knows, I would have.
I do wonder what Dr. Jenner told Rick... his best guess where to head? That the walkers would probably rot within the year? That North Korea was behind the virus?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
More zombies, less talky-meat. Because the talky-meat never really say anything interesting, anyway.
I don't understand why they have been starving for days, either. They've been driving through neighborhoods. No one did any recon during the day and grabbed canned goods?
Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

That is quite the come hither look Tesla is giving there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Discussion of Anna Torv's acting. I still think Noble's better, but she's really showed a range many people didn't seem to think she had.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
there was this BBC show in which Anna Torv had a pretty big role and she was really great in it. I think she must have had bad direction in the first season of "Fringe."

I don't think it was bad direction--I think it was character choices (made by whoever) that might not have been the best idea. But I can totally buy the character we saw being plausible, especially given her past. Just, not the most appealing for a series lead.
I was always pissed at the people who blamed it on her, or who are now "well, she learnt to act." If you haven't seen her in other shit, do some research before going off on her.

Mistresses, right? She played the poised lesbian the commitment-phobic one of the group falls for, IIRC. Orla Brady, who was one of the four friends in the series (the one who cheats on the husband played by the dishy actor who was Zafar from Spooks), then showed up as Walter's wife in flashbacks, which made me laugh. British TV actor pool is almost as tiny as the Vancouver TV actor pool. (ETA: err. Except I just remembered Torv is not British. She's Australian, I think?)
I really liked Torv right from the start, but yeah, she really blossomed once the storyline started revolving around her instead of her dead partner.
