Remember way back when Fringe started, and people were complaining that Anna Torv couldn't act?
Funny. No one says that anymore ...

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Although I was kind of hoping it was going to be Jorge Garcia.

Me, too! I was disappointed he was only in one scene. Here's hoping he shows up again.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder if the same people I read bitching about dealing with souls on V will bitch about this storyline. Their objection was that souls don't belong in sci-fi, not as manipulable entities.
I don't see any reason they can't, all you need is to do it well. And Fringe is certainly better suited for that than V.
It occurs to me that I have an episode of V on my TiVo. I've missed the past few episodes. I can't decide if I want to bother looking. Still, it's going to be a long weekend.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
William Bell couldn't have me as a friend. I would have long hit that bell and his soul would have been out and about a long time ago.
That's the kind of thing I would have hit for giggles every time I came in the room. This is why I can't have nice things.

How do you have the bell and not ring it? It's, like, right there. The noise would hurt my head, but I'd still poke at it anyway.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I don't watch Fringe, so I can't compare, but the problem I had with V is that Anna was talking about the soul like it was sitting next to the appendix.

Fringe had "soul magnets." It's honestly really cheesy, but it's being used to drive plot and give Anna Torv even more interesting things to do.
But the poster's problem with V is that souls shouldn't exist in sci-fi. Which I think is absurdly rigid compartmentalisation.
