Giles ,'Beneath You'
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.
It made me angry, but I'm glad I watched it.
Watching Haven right now. Groundhog Day episodes have a pretty good track record in sci fi. the X Files episode was excellent, the Stargate one was one of its funniest, the Supernatural one one of its most gutting. The Buffy one was pretty good too.
What other shows have done this well worn trope, and which failed at it?
The NextGen episode is great, where they start with blowing up the Enterprise.

That's the one with the poker game that keeps getting played over and over, right? I loved that one.
Ah, yes, another winner.
I'm pretty impressed that so many shows take the same premise and do good things with it. I think the Buffy episode is the weakest of them all, and it's not actually that weak.
So far the Haven one is interesting, by Haven standards.
Also, I love Nathan, and I want him to come home with me. I could make him feel, I could.

I recently watched part of a Harlequin (I think) MOTW that that actor was in with Colin. He (Nathan) looked about 18.
Oh! He was in Playing House! And that explains where Colin had known Joanne Kelly from. He swears her lips are natural, BTW.

Bottom lip looks natural, top lip, nsm.
Well, I'm certainly emotionally depleted and numb.
There was very little crying, but I might just be out of tears for the week. But, I dunno, it wasn't as bad as I had myself prepared for, I guess. I really can't imagine a more depressing plotline.
Ah, Children of Earth.
Have a hug {{zuisa}}
I loved the Haven episode from this week. I have a big weakness for Groundhog Day ep in general, and it was surprisingly well written and emotional for Haven. Nathan's death pretty much gutted me. Especially, "it doesn't hurt; the only thing I feel is you", which made me tear up because I am a GIANT SAP. Wow, did this ep ever hit my buttons hard.
It was interesting to see the usually self-possessed Audrey so undone by her failure. Understandable as her whole identity is wrapped around being the Troubled Whisperer. She has nothing and nobody outside this town, literally. She has the personal relationships she formed in town, but the time loops took that away from her, too, one by one. I really felt for Audrey here. Emily Rose did an excellent job.
