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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

okay, I've watched the first 3-4 eps of the US Being Human and I still think it is inferior to the UK version. My main complaints are not plot. I hate the actors playing the ghost and the vampire (the character name switch is confusing to me, so I'll just call them ghost & vampire).

I really hate them. I *might* get used to the vampire, but the ghost is just shockingly bad.

OTOH, I like the UK one pretty well. I am one episode behind, but I feel that the new season got off to an energetic start, though I HATED the Mitchell interview scene with a passion. It wasn't funny. Besides that, the rest of the ep moved along at a quick clip.

Art Crawl!!!

I hate the ghost the worst. The worst.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Why am I still watching V? This whole business with Anna trying to isolate the human soul is so eye-rollingly bad!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, we gave up on V in ep 2 this season.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I always hate it when SciFi talks about human souls. Even when I was still a Christian, it bugged me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

damn Jon. I think you might win a contest for hanging in there.

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

This whole business with Anna trying to isolate the human soul is so eye-rollingly bad!

The what now? I quit before the end of last season.

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

I like the idea of sciencey souls, but I haven't seen it done well yet.

I would have been in Jon's shoes, but last night NCIS:LA, V, and Raising Hope all came on at the same time. As little respect as I have for Baywatch NCIS, it got chosen over V. I do regret not seeing Oded, though.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Why am I still watching V? This whole business with Anna trying to isolate the human soul is so eye-rollingly bad!

I've been asking myself the same question. The main reason I had last season is gone since they turned Morris Chestnutt's character into Johnny-one-note. Oh well, at least they brought back Nicholas Lea.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Also eye-rollingly bad: Grandma V trapped in the basement dungeon... of the spaceship.
