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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

"Carl", please.

Loved Jo and the bluebirds, and her concern for them after they'd gone. Just lovely.

Have I mentioned the little girl they got for Jenna was about the cutest ever? And very emotive.

Just loved how the whole cast had parts to play and the various iterations they went through.

I may never need to watch another Christmas episode of another show, ever.

That was super fun, Eureka! Oh, man. So bittersweet. I must rewatch; I was kind of tired.

The W13 one was pretty entertaining.

everyone becomes a cartoon character (including Sheriff Carter's much-abused Jeep, cleverly and petulantly voiced by The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons)

Ah-ha! I thought that's who that was! Well, actually, I thought, "Is that... Sheldon??!?" And it was.

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

Stargate: SG1 arc chart. They map out and summarise all (in progress) the main plot arcs and their occurrence in each episode. Pretty damned impressive.

Jim Parsons was once again awesome! I loved that Zoe was in it! My only upset with the episode was where was Henry's wife?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

LOVED tonight's Chuck. Loved the conversation between Sarah and Gertrude where Sarah wasn't at all fishing but Gertrude confessed her love for Casey (it reminded me of a similar bit in Questionable Content, quite honestly, but Sarah is nothing like Pint Size). Loved that Morgan was the other one to break Casey out of jail. Loved Richard Burgi blowing up real good! I'll miss him as a villain, but I loved his exit. He definitely should have known better than to let Gertrude get her hands on him, but he was such a smug fuck I could believe it at that moment.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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

Totally did not expect Decker to get taken out so soon! I laughed so hard; that was amazing.

And I knew about Danny Pudi, but surprise Yvette Nicole Brown was awesome.

Best episode of Chuck in a long time! And ita !, it answers your question about what good Chuck is without the Intersect.

You mean the hackery stuff? That part I knew. It's the fighting and the weaponcraft, etc, that I look side-eyed at.

Man, I paid attention to the ep at the time, buy now I'm not sure if you might be referring to something else.
