I am so tired of pregnancy storylines. And seriously: the way we discover which universe gets to survive is which Olivia Peter chooses? Seriously, JJ? Seriously?
Well, yeah, there's that. Pretty shitty and lazy.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Honesstly, I've been cringing this whole season everytime Olivia stops in the middle of an investigation to discuss feelings with Peter.
Yes. I completely cosign this.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Actually, the second and third seasons have been better than the first, IMHO.
EXCELLENT NEWS!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Honesstly, I've been cringing this whole season everytime Olivia stops in the middle of an investigation to discuss feelings with Peter.
I can only think of two times this has happened. "Do you still think about her" and "I owe you an apology." The apology scene was a little awkward with so many people around, but I think it was placed there to contrast Peter's blatant lying.
the way we discover which universe gets to survive is which Olivia Peter chooses?
I would be surprised if it turns out to be a simple as this. Sam Weiss is rarely that straightforward. And then there was the Easter Egg in Over There that said, " Don't trust Sam Weiss ."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm convinced this is the most consistent show JJ has ever been associated with. That can't last, can it?
Well, the bar's not high, but they take a pretty decent shift from getting from where they started to where they are right now. The change from original premise of a) Walter caused every monster of the week and b) it's all monsters of the week to get to the epic battle between parallel universes is quite a big one.
Good choice though.
However, looking like love will save the world? Cute on Supernatural. Kinda weird here.

Heh. This almost sounds like the shift that Dollhouse took, minus the toxic opening premise Joss decided to play with and was forced to play with longer than he wanted.

Can I muse over this for a second? Isn't "a" still in effect? By implication, all of these MOTW are from his actions, but do you mean we aren't reminded of that fact every week?

It used to be "I did that experiment and now it's rogue." for about a season. Now it's bigger reaching--they're fighting against things Walternate's doing for instance.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I think Sam Weiss is not being straightforward. I think he planted the idea with Nina to achieve some specific outcome that really doesn't hinge on Peter, but might hinge on Nina. He is never straightforward!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
If I start this show now, I'm going to be really really confused, aren't I?
