Spike ,'Sleeper'
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.
Poor Walter. Poor Peter. Walter has always been a woobie, but now Peter is too, poor boo.
It would also be interesting if Walternate wasn't the one responsible for the new shapeshifters, otherwise I'm not terribly interested in that as a story-line. Also, what was up with that weird moment with Olivia, Lincoln and the files?
At first, I thought that the shapeshifter had infiltrated the headquarters, but now I think it has more to do with next weeks previews.
Yeah, that was a time slip like what happened when Peter was a big glowy ball of energy.
Peter is such a woobie now. Not only does he have memories of his past with everyone else, he remembers 15 years of future. I like the way Josh Jackson is playing that so far.
I have this idea knocking around in the back of my head that an AltNina will end up being involved with these shapeshifters. I also wonder if Peter might be able to find a way to reprogram the mission objective in a shapeshifter. That was one of the 3 things he said was in the disc, right?
I have not been paying enough attention to this season of Fringe. I am missing key details. I feel bad.
I have a Chuck question: I'm also not paying enough attention, evidently. How is he a competent agent without the Intersect? When did he actually learn spycraft? I thought he had just been operating under implanted knowledge and not learning anything. Now he's a handler and a "real spy"?
Also, why is Justin Hartley wearing a shirt?
How is he a competent agent without the Intersect? When did he actually learn spycraft? I thought he had just been operating under implanted knowledge and not learning anything.
All the Intersect gave him was information about people and the occasional fighting/technical skills. I assume he picked up spycraft by, you know, going on missions all these years. He knows how things work in general.
But he never trained. He never was instructed. He just showed up and flashed, it seemed like. He was pretty much a comedic doofus until they yanked the thing out of his head, and that he'd never passed the test they set for him.
Now he's all serious competentballs.
He actually was trained for a while before Superman showed up.
So it's just magical TV world where it takes a couple of months to get spycraft up to snuff and I should just let the fact that they let him be the Falstaff pretty much all the way up to Morgan getting Intersected go, because that's just not this show, huh?
I feel like they made the leap to competent spy (and yes it was a leap) last season. Wasn't that pretty much the point of having Morgan coming on missions then, to keep a buffoon around?
Yep.
