Just maybe if they didn't schedule Fringe opposite two other SFF shows it might get better numbers. SIGH
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

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 sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Nooooo!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Once Upon A Time this week was predictable but really enjoyable. As far as I'm concerned every episode should center around Rumplestilskin.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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."

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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The acting is really good! Surprisingly so. The only part of it that was WAY overdone was the mother, but if they limited her screentime, this would have been a perfectly serviceable series.

Did you like it better than the L&O:Hogwarts pilot?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
LOL.
I am watching that now. I am about 10 minutes in and it is a STRUGGLE. I had to stop and watch Colbert.
