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.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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.

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

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.

Fringe was really good, but it made me so sad. I'm not used to Stephen Root making me sad, but he did. And the Walter/Peter and Peter/Olivia stuff was almost as heartbreaking.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, it was good and sad. And poor Peter trying to find his home.
I cannot believe that next week is the Fall finale. I mean, we just got it back!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I hadn't realized that these episodes were really arguing that it was a third, new, universe, not just a new timeline created by Peter's evaporation of himself by his use of the machine. ... and wait a minute, doesn't that argument contradict what the Observers said?
I'm confused.

Yeah, I thought Peter had to resplit the universes and this one would go right. Not that he had to go home to a different one.
My god, Walter not loving Peter is heartbreaking. Walter not looking at Peter is heartbreaking.
Man, would the hiatus have been until January 13th even if they hadn't delayed by two weeks? I guess we're lucky, relatively.
