I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

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.

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.

Yes Vonnie! I have not yet seen Season 2, but I ate it up like popcorn one weekend a couple of months back.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, Torv is Australian.
And I think it took a while for the writers to figure out the characters in the beginning. Peter and Broyles, for instance, are very different in the pilot than who they are just a few episodes later. They dropped the antagonism with Olivia pretty quickly, if I recall.

That series was a good trashy fun. With pretty good actors despite the melodramatic plots. I kinda started having rage blackouts about Sarah Parrish's character though, because of the GROSS ETHICAL BREACH OMG. I did not know there was a season 2! Hmmm.
