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.

Ginger, I suspect your knowledge of the actual CDC may lead to some unintentional hilarity if you ever watch The Walking Dead.

There almost always seems to be either hilarity or annoyance at anything set in a town you know. For example, five minutes into the first episode of Vanished, they referred to the intersection of two streets that are parallel and went downhill from there.

Yes, well, the CDC building is portrayed as being rather technologically sophisticated.

the real CDC wouldn't allow filming.

The real CDC finally cracked down on security a couple of years after 9-11. It would be kind of insane to let anyone film there, since that's where they keep the really scary stuff. Right after 9-11, in a feat of cognitive dissonance difficult to fathom, Congress voted down funding the CDC had been allocated for a new main building to replace the building where the hot zone lab was located, a badly built and way-too-small building with persistent leaks. They finally got the funding back and that new building is pretty high tech. The CDC is on a campus with several buildings, surrounded by high chain-link fence.

Re: Fringe
That is really, really, really fucked up.
And consider what show I'm talking about here.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Fringe totally tried to top Donnie Pfaster. It was way creepy in the dancing scene, but the emotional story was the A plot. Having the creepy guy drive the heartbreak home was an extra twist of the knife though.
Oh, Olivia.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That is really, really, really fucked up.
The title telegraphed the creepiest fucking scene of the episode, but damn.
Oh, Olivia.
For reals. I feel like I haven't actually seen the doppelganger aftermath treated so seriously before. Buffy had a similar story, of course, but Peter and Fauxlivia were together for MONTHS.
Anyone else notice that in the beginning, the man is walking by a train...on Firefly Railways?

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, they really did the doppelganger aftermath well. I feel that Olivia is going to be buying all new bed linens, clothing, possibly a new apartment. . .
