'Same Time, Same Place'
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 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.
Oooh, they got the second episode of GRIMM up on Hulu right fast, so I don't have to miss it. Alas, I suspect that the show isn't going to last long in its death slot.
So I'm only halfway through this week's TVD, and the original witch is white? Yet there's a black witch hanging out with her? But she doesn't get to be original? She's just the other witch that was there at the time, like all the other black people in Nordic Land back in ye olden times?
Yeah, the whole witch mythology is ridiculous and disappointing. Well, not exactly disappointing, it's been bad all along I shouldn't expect any better, but still, the Original Witch business seems like a whole other level of WTFery. And yet I enjoy Alaric and Damon pretty much anytime they're on screen together, so I guess I keep watching.
But I came in here to talk about Walter saying Peter isn't his son. So sad! And wrongheaded, but in typical Walter fashion.
