Andi and I have successfully enabled my 84 year young mother to OuaT.
My 90-at-the-end-of-this-year Mother got hooked on OuaT unprompted.
Mal: Does.. um.. does this seem kind of tight? Kaylee: Shows off your backside.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Lets hear it for Octogenarian fantasy fans!
Mine just never knew it was on, so we showed her.

My Mom is 71, and tonight at dinner asked me "when is Grimm and that Once Upon A Time on again?" Grimm is on the same time as Supernatural, Mom. "Well, we can catch it the next day on On Demand then."
My mom is fairly awesome. She still watches Buffy whenever it's on, and pops in the Firefly DVDs on a regular basis.

My mother watching any of those shows would be a sign of the apocalypse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My mother asked of Buffy: "Why do there have to be monsters?" "They're metaphors, Mummy." "Why do there have to be metaphors?"
Get back to your microscope, Dr. ita !'s mom.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Mine doesn't do fantasy/sf, but I think she has a little crush on Al Swearingen.

I think I have an issue with the constant changes of direction on TVD making the characters hard to get a handle on. Bonnie's really solid and consistent, and Caroline has settled in, although I'm not sure how she got here from there.
Everyone else? Don't know.
How am I supposed to buy eternal creatures worried about high school dances? Is there Kool Aid I need to drink?
I don't know who Stefan is right now, but, hey, go him!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Huh. I didn't realize this.
Fringe 406 guest-stars Stephen Root and real-life wife Romy Rosemont, together onscreen for the first time.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
It was a pretty good episode actually.
But this:
next week will be our last Fringe until January 13th. I’d suggest we savor it.
I do not want.

I know! The silver lining is that there will be time to go back and watch some older episodes since there have been so many callbacks this season. I accidentally ran across a spoiler today that has me wanting to watch a chunk of season 1.
