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.
The VD wiki says this:
The Gilbert Rings protect people from being killed by supernatural beings or causes, as long as the rings are worn.
I also found this:
Oh, and trust me, I was THRILLED when I saw that Alaric was wearing his ring and was thus not really dead, but whatever happened to “there’s nothing supernatural about a bullet”? I thought that established that the ring only protected people from physical acts committed by supernatural entities, but not mechanical weapons. Yes, I know that the Sheriff (a human) was the one who shot Jeremy, but it seems a little silly that the person pulling the trigger makes a difference between somebody living and dying. Now, being protected because a vampire was sucking your blood or breaking your neck or physically throwing you off a building? Yeah, I can buy that. But I don’t see how the ring would protect you from being crushed by an SUV, just because a hybrid so happened to have been driving (what luck!) Again, it’s great news because Alaric is one of my favorite characters….it just didn’t seem in line with how I understood the way things work. But maybe I’m wrong.
And this mention of it working in what seems like a more remote effect:
Isobel tossed John down the stairs as a distraction to kidnap Elena, but he was wearing the ring and came back.
Bad news for Fringe? Also discusses the fate of House and Terra Nova.
I didn't even know I had to worry about Fringe. Sigh.
Just maybe if they didn't schedule Fringe opposite two other SFF shows it might get better numbers. SIGH
Dammit.
As far as Fringe is concerned, Reilly conceded, ”We lose a lot of money on the show. At that rating, on [Friday] night, its impossible to make money. We’re not in the business of losing money… [But] I’m not doing the soft cancel here. That’s another decision we will have to make.
“I do not want to drop the ball on the end and let the fans down,” he added. “Please don’t start the letter writing campaign now. I can’t take it. … We haven’t even sat down with the producers and the studio.”
I don't trust network suits as far as I could throw them, but Reilly seems like a straight-shooter. Frankly, with its rating, I was surprised and happy that the show was renewed last season.
Yeah, I've been expecting this would be the last season of Fringe all along. I remember it was pretty big deal that it got renewed last year because it was a bubble show.
Ugh, can you imagine if the last season finale had ended up as the series finale? Right up there with Twin Peaks and Sarah Connor Chronicles for "But...but...but? WAH!".
Once Upon A Time this week was predictable but really enjoyable. As far as I'm concerned every episode should center around Rumplestilskin.
I saw that pilot for "Three Inches" and man is that just way too similar to "Alphas." I kind of like the people's powers in 3I better, but they criminally underused Tosh. They hit similar themes though between the shows and I have to say: that show could have been a lot better with David Straitharn.
I didn't think 3I was that bad, but it needed bigger conflict. I liked the lead actor though. he'd be perfect for the Simon part in a US "Misfits."
I haven't seen the pilot, but what I read about it didn't make me even curious, despite Naoki and Julian and James. And that's takes a lot of generated disinterest.
