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?
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.
'Not Fade Away'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
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?

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

Okay, I get that it wasn't Nordic land--it was America 1000 years ago. Duh. Both the Nordic types and African types can make a pitch for having crossed those waters, so I'll let it slide, but the witch crap is bullshit.
I'm having a hard time buying the transcendency of fraternal love, even though that's what I tune into Supernatural for every week. It's not like I don't believe in the principle, obviously. I just never got it here. But if they say so, 'tis so.
Oh, this Walter, torturing himself, denying himself that which he wants the most because it's what he wants the most, and he doesn't deserve that. I wonder if they'll adjust the A world so that they remember him, or if they'll keep this distance, or if he'll earn back a closeness.

I think the relationships will have to be earned again.
Poor Walter never got his white tulip.

Just wanted to say "Yay TESLA!" for Sanctuary. Show gets more (at all?) interesting when he shows up.

How does he fit so many teeth in his mouth? It's creepy, but I don't know that it's FX.
