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.

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

Heh. Didn't know Eleven's Pandorica speech was a Thing! Everyone from a kindergartener to Sylvester McCoy is doing it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Finally watched Warehouse 13! Great episode! I doubt Jinks is gone for good; someone must have Plans For Him. I admit I geeked out a little over Kate Mulgrew playing a kickass character called Jane. But my stupid recording cut out just as Pete said "Mom?!" What happened next? Anything besides Myka's face falling off in surprise?

All is well that ends in pizza.

No, the ep stopped right there.

Oh, good, then! I knew people had said Pete's mom showed up, but I was expecting something totally different, like her showing up at the inn, so I still didn't realize that was this episode. Way to spoil without spoiling! But I should have got a clue when she said that using the firehoses to get down was a trick her husband taught her.

Pete has been not-douchy for a few episodes now. On the other hand they are making Myka too weepy again.

Well, Myka just dealt with the loss of her former partner/lover, *again*, and that was pretty intense, so it's not surprising if she's a little weepy for a little while. I wonder what's going to be the emotional fallout of Pete discovering that his mom's a Regent (now The Big Kahuna Regent, even) and he's probably going to be wondering if that's why he's at the Warehouse at all.

Hee. Doctor Who theme, a cappella, with lyrics.

Yeah, they had a good rationalization, but they made her get weepy during the mission in a way that interfered with the mission. Jane had to give her the "cowboy up" pep talk in the middle of a crisis. I wonder if the writers would do that to a male agent.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

They're by the bed of the girl who got bitten, and they look at her wound and then the recording's done with.

A recap of the end of the final episode of Teen Wolf for ita:

Scott looks at Lydia’s wounds and determines that they’re not healing the way his did, which means she’s not a werewolf. So they don’t know what she’s becoming.

Jackson goes wandering once again to the burned-out house in the woods (at night, of course) looking for Derek, and he demands that “I helped you, I helped save you, you got what you wanted… now it’s my turn to get what I want.” Then you see Derek leap from the top of the stairs down to Jackson, open wide, and then lots of teeth flash as he leans in towards Jackson.

Next we see Allison’s parents in their kitchen arguing over the newspaper headlines implicating the Aunt’s connection to the fires and murders. I don’t think Mom knows the Aunt actually did all those things, or that she’s dead because she says something like “Don’t think for a second she’s going to take the fall for something she didn’t do.” (That or she plans to vindicate her posthumously, whatever.) Then Dad says “We’re going to be pariahs in this town.” He’s worried about how Allison will handle it, but Mom insists she will learn.

Mom had started the scene hanging up the phone saying “they’ll be here in 2 days.” Later when she says “What about Scott?” and Dad answers “I’m not the only one he has to worry about now” it seems to maybe imply there are more hunters on the way.

The final shot is on the sloping roof outside Allison’s bedroom, where Scott and Allison are snuggling on the rooftop under a not-quite-full moon.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

This is really nitpicky of me, but on DW, what the heck time of day is it supposed to be that mom is putting the kid to bed when the sun looks like it's at 6 o'clock or thereabouts (and acting like she's a single mom when Dad is there and perfectly capable of putting his kid to bed). No wonder the kids freaking out, you're f***ing with his circadian rhythm.

I'm blaming it on residual alcohol that the resolution had me balling like a big baby.
