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 think it's less popular not in fans but in importance here, compared to Britain where it is an institution. It has a lot of fans here, but it doesn't have the same importance to the general culture.
I think it's less popular in sheer numbers too. At times new Who has had over 10 million viewers in Britain (like, one person in six), whereas I think it was what, about 2 million on SciFi?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, it's pretty niche. CW's SFF gets more ratings than it does, even though it's more highly considered.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I'm in the second season of Fringe and I'm getting really confused.
I can't keep track of the change over from universe to universe.
I think I have a handle on things and then OMFG was that Charlie?! He doesn't have a scar on his cheek so he isn't alternate. He doesn't have a hole in his head so he can't be original Charlie. Then nothing is said about it in the next few episodes. I'm going to look for a flow chart.
ION, Walter continues to break my heart. I want to wrap him in a blanket and give him good butterscotch pudding. Yes, I understand the bad stuff he did, but all John Noble has to do is quiver his chin and I forgive him.

I don't know where you are in the season, but I think if you watch the last ten minutes of the premiere, your question will be answered.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
The last ten minutes of the season two premiere or season three? Or all the way back to the pilot?

OMFG was that Charlie?!
That was an out-of-sequence season 1 episode, IIRC. At least, that's what folks told me.
Fringepedia could help, as well.
