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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
The plot didn't really make much sense - but the idea that people's faiths were killing them intertwined with how the Doctor sort of lives off his companions' faith in him (and often ends up wrecking their lives) - I thought that was really nicely done.
and I don't get how the faith just "went away", especially since she knew that he was telling her this to make her be less faithful.
For me, I kind of interpreted it as the faith that the minotaur needed was not the normal faith that we have in the people we love - but the larger faith that some people build their whole view of the world on. Amy loves Rory, but she's always defined herself by the Doctor - by wishing that he'll rescue her and take her to far away places and give her a perfect life. At the end of the episode, she still loves the Doctor, but I think she sees him more as a friend and not as the answer to all her problems.
I felt like I was supposed to get something philosophically from this episode that just did not work for me. Rory doesn't have faith in anything? Amy's faith in the Doctor can be done away with just like that?

Yeah, I guess that's what they were going for, but I'm not sure anybody sold it especially well, or explained it very well. I agree with JenP that it was an emotionally odd episode. As has often happened these past couple of seasons, the emotional stuff just didn't quite convince me.
Donde esta Peter Bishop? [link]
And if you haven't seen the latest tease from Ari Margolis, check it out. [link] The last 17 seconds kills me.
aurelia, that video is just so freaking cool. Kudos to the person or persons who made that happen.
Where is Peter Bishop???
I love that video, and I'm so excited for Fringe to start again. I just re-watched season 1 and 2 this past week.
How awesome is the international Fringe fandom?!
I think that the people chosen to feed the Minotaur probably had exceptionally strong faith in whatever it was they had faith in. So it wouldn't be so much that Rory had no faith in anything, he just didn't have it on par with Amy's faith in the Doctor. Likewise, the doctor did need to utterly destroy Amy's faith in him, he just needed to shake it a bit.
Well, now, THAT was an opening, Eureka.
Also, I think Jo is thinking about leaving Eureka.
Oh, it's that guy! Dave. Dave? From News Radio, right? ETA: Foley.
