Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ah! I think I liked that episode. Since I loved pretty much all of season three.

Oh, it is definitely their most horrifying episode. (But that's why it's great!)

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I can forgive it because this is the episode the two Johns are born.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Anyone watched The Cape? I couldn't work out the tone, precisely. It seemed to mock itself in places...that seemed appropriate. But then, a bit of odd seriousness in strange place.

I'll keep watching it for a bit more, but I suspect Summer Glau might have more time on her hands soon.

PS How the fuck did Richard Schiff end up on this? Also, Lyons needs more accent work.

Art Crawl!!!

It's not great but kind of mindless fun.

I want Summer Glau to find something great, darn it.

Watching the Green Hornet marathon, it suddenly becomes clear to me why I remember essentially nothing from the reruns I saw as a kid. This was one dull-ass show, and I was too young at the time to appreciate how smoking hot Van Williams was.

I was so paranoid he was going to have a black buddy/sidekick just like No Ordinary Family. Oops!

Hmmph! I liked The Green Hornet. You're probably a supporter of the desecration. Hmmph.

Van and Bruce were a fucking hot pair. Dear god.

The "Gangsta's Paradise" singalong commercial moved me from being mildly disgruntled about the movie to wanting to slip into projection booths and burn the prints as a service to mankind.

I tuned in after work all psyched about seeing the marathon, and was horrified by the drastic failure to meet expectations. In an hour and a half I've seen Bruce Lee answer a phone and kick a door open.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Anyone watched The Cape? I couldn't work out the tone, precisely.

That's exactly where I am with it. I'm giving it another episode in case it suddenly gels into something I can just enjoy. I don't really want a serious superhero show taking itself seriously.
