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.
I mainlined the first 6 episodes of Fringe season 2. Man, this show is fun, if occasionally as gross as Bones in terms of being a show to watch during dinner. I'd watch for just the Walter and Astrid show, but there's so much fun stuff going on.
Poor Charlie. I'm sorry to see him go, but as much as I liked his (the real Charlie's) relationship with Olivia, it was kind of a one-note role. A great note, but not much room for development. I guess I should be thankful at least that they didn't have him pining after Olivia a la Will Tippen/Xander Harris. Plus, as the episode title says, there's two of everything, so I suspect this isn't the last we've seen of him in one form or another.
The only odd thing continuity-wise - I swear the last time Nina showed up she had two normal hands. It was a brief shot, and they never showed that hand again so I didn't confirm (guess I should have just backed up and checked - oh well).
They don't really try to make her hand look robotic unless they're showing the inner workings. She does wear fingerless gloves sometimes though.
I'm looking forward to your reaction to the last third of the season!
So have we seen the Doctor Who Children in Need special? It's pretty adorable.
Buffistas might like it a lot, I suspect.
I had NOT seen that, and I love it so much! Thanks for posting.
Adorable? I found it sexist.
I get your point, Shir.
Speaking only for myself, I have no high expectations from DW when it comes to feminism, although they do get a lot of points from me for River Song.
I didn't like this one at all.
Now, I understand that little will tickle me as much as 10 Teaching English Literature to Lauren Cooper. Still, the lascivious jokes just fell flat to me, and seemed like the sole reason for the entire set up.
An up-skirt joke, Moffat? Really? You are so much more clever than that.
Adorable? I found it sexist.
Really? The jokes were a bit obvious (but then it was only a few minutes long), but I didn't think it was sexist. And I usually find rather a lot sexist...
I also thought it was adorable.

I think some of the sexist sting was taken out of it for me because Rory IS her husband and they are newlyweds, and the Doctor doesn't actually care about Amy's legs in and of themselves.
ETA: Anybody else now want to see any incarnation of the Doctor going "Guh" over Queen Elizabeth I's ankles?
