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.
OuaT:
I think the stuck in time thing works like this:
Everyone under the spell goes about their daily lives, and have a history, but things get fuzzy about the past. Maybe there's a five year fade out, or something. Either way, they don't realize that things haven't changed much in the town. (People not aging, ETC.) The spell keeps things bustling along, and the townspeople don't leave.
I bet they get visitors very seldom. There may be a Somebody Else's Problem field or a Sunnydale amnesia going on, too.
One thing I noticed last night - the "happy endings" don't seem to have been universal even before the change to the "real" world. Cinderella certainly wasn't having one - basically trading her baby for her prince. Rumplestiltskin's forcing unhappy endings on people (OMG! he killed the fairy godmother!) in both worlds.

I don't really like the mixing of the Cinderella story with Rumplestiltskin's, and why would he tell her his name? Isn't that supposed to be the source of power over him?
Obviously, he's moved to a new level of evil and uses contracts with an open-ended obligation, not just a verbal agreement.
yeah, I figured everyone knew his name after he was defeated in the original fairytale.
Why have I not seen one of these before? In retrospect, it seems totally obvious...
If only it really were larger inside than out ....
Ha, nice! We bought a friend a cute little mini-fridge once, but that looks awesome.
As a companion piece, a K-9 cooler?
It's taken me until Wednesday to say it, but man, I am enjoying The Walking Dead. I tried the new railroad show immediately following it, but found it to slow to stick with. Also it didn't have Norman Reedus, so that might have played a part in my disinterest.
I didn't read the graphic novels so I am pretty unspoiled. I do follow some tweets though that have given away certain points. I'm not worried though because the tv show doesn't seem to regard the novels as a Bible.
Michael Rooker and Norman Reedus are charming me into falling for characters that are polar opposite of who I would be falling for in real life. It's fun to see them having so much fun with the fans.
There was a throw away line last week(I think) where Rick said it didn't matter what the guy at the CDC said, all that mattered was now. I wanted to yell, "Nooooo!" because it is driving me crazy what the CDC guy whispered in Rick's ear.
Each week has managed to leave me open mouthed at the end of the episodes because I was not expecting something to happen. I think I'm enjoying Talking Dead that airs after episodes as much as the actual show now. It fulfills my fannish desire for discussion. I love people guesting on the discussions like Felicia Day and talking earnestly about what would need to happen if there was a zombie apocalypse.
I do feel better prepared now though.
