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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

What confused me is that Hershel's daughter developed a fever during her faint. Now, I certainly can't blame someone for going catatonic just after her mother's rotting corpse tried to eat her, but I haven't heard of shock in and of itself being able to cause a fever.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

does the graphic novel ever go into what exactly caused the zombie apocalypse?

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

I keep wanting Mary Margaret to stand up in the town square and start screaming "I kissed him! I didn't fuck him! No actual clothes came off!!" Not that kissing a married man is all that cool, but why isn't David carrying any of the blame here? And why is she suddenly a town whore for kissing someone?

well, the town doesn't really know what happened. All they know is that a well liked daughter of the town came into the school and started screaming and crying about Mary Margaret betraying her and being with her husband. It's not like Mary Margaret to say anything, so everyone is thinking the worst.

I am annoyed that David doesn't seem to be feeling any heat from this. If I were Mary Margaret, I would be furious, not just hurt. If he had not lied to his wife about there being someone else, she wouldn't have found out from the Mayor and blown her top and caused a scene at the school.

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

So...what is the airing situation with Alcatraz? There are two episodes that aired/are airing tonight (1x09 and 1x10), but did 1x08 air? I would like to talk about it.

I think it's on next week.

Interesting. I guess they decided it didn't have any impact on continuity? I am in the middle of it, and I haven't seen the two that aired tonight yet.

Apparently. Weirdly, they are showing tonight's episodes again over the next two Saturday nights but didn't put the one that got pre-empted on over this past weekend like I expected. At least my station didn't.

I think 1x08 is the strongest episode yet. (It's called "Clarence Montgomery.")

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

Have I missed them touching on how incredibly well adjusted everyone is to technology, etc? Or is that something that will be unravelled later?

Glad to hear it, the previews looked really good. That is the title my DVR says will be on next Monday, btw. Looks like two weeks before I get that House, but no newer ones in between, so more waiting but less confusing.

Eta: if they explained or even mentioned the curious lack of culture shock, I missed it
