I agree. Her plot was a watch from the hall from me. I just couldn't take it. There is not one thing she did right the whole time.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

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.

In searching around for the Tribe, I found an entirely different Brit series called Tribe. This one features, Bruce Parry, a rather whingy fellow, traveling around the world and living with various tribal people for a month.
Once I'd gotten the episode and realized it was not the post-apocalyptic genre stuff I'd been looking for, I made to turn it off, but ended up being completely sucked into Barry's month with the Nenet. The Nenet are reindeer herders above the Arctic Circle. Absolutely riveting.
Frankly, how any person could survive on the tundra, much less prefer it to their warm and cozy houses in town, strikes me as fairly scifi-y.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I was yelling at the TV to have her de- , erm, whatever is the equivalent of "defrocked" or "disbarred" for doctors. Sarah Parrish was great as usual, but the character was a disaster.
Afterward, as a palate cleanser, I had to rewatch the Sarah Parrish/Damien Lewis version of "Much Ado About Nothing." Man, I flove that series.
Er, topic. OLIVIA PWNS ALL. And I think they missed a golden opportunity by not having Fauxlivia interact with Ella, which probably would have humanized her 100x more than by having her do the sexytimes with Peter.

Over in Ogle, I mentioned that I wasn't hooked by S1 and nearly gave up on it, but these last few episodes have me enthralled.
Ogle is where the bulk of the discussion is happening, if you'd care to wander over there.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I kept hearing about that show on my flist, and I assumed it was some sort of teen soap, and then I discovered it was about teens with superpowers, and that is much more relevant to my interests.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's totally a teen soap, just, you know, powered up. Skins+Heroes is a pretty good shorthand for it. And it's been full of the whoa and the HSQ this season.
