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.

I thought that this week's episode was like a weird combo of Reptile Boy and Beer Bad. I mean because of the revenge against the privileged kids. . .at least the bartender in Beer Bad wasn't feeing the students to a monster.

Sure. I'm still watching. But we need to get more eventually. Also not sure it is good she is not refusing to join. The dark fay are pretty clear evil. But are the light Fay really good? AFter all the trial by combat was a joint operation. And it seems like there is agreement by light and dark fay alike that Bo will have to be put down eventually. The barkeep (brownie? elf?) seems to be kind of goodish, as does hot fairy cop. Though even there I'm only 90% certain. But the light fay? Evidence is mixed. It may be more like greater and lesser evil.

Right - I didn't think it was a choice between good and evil either; except of course, that the fairy cop (Dyson?) seems sympathetic.

It will be nice when we get more backstory.

Yeah, I don't think light and dark necessarily aligns with good and evil, a least from a human POV. And she explicitly chose to be on the side of humans, whatever that means.

As for the Buffiness - the dialog is pretty quippy.

The two sides have been on the verge of war for millenia. I'd be curious as to what the point of conflict is, and whether the official motives (whatever they turn out to be) are the real motives.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I suspect that it's Hatfield/McCoy situation -- no one remembers what the original issue was, but all are willing to fight to the death to defend their side if it comes down to it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Huh, the villain on this week's Alcatraz was Whitney from Smallville. He looks like a grownup now.

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

Whitney from Smallville had a quasi-canonical gay relationship with Sam Winchester? Well, I never!
