I watched cartoons every Saturday morning for the first couple of decades of my life. Then they went away. Now they're suddenly back!

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Thanks for the input into S2 of Walking Dead -- sorry I had to post and run. I have more stuff on my TiVo than I have time to watch, and some of the comments I heard elsewhere made it sound like S2 was terrible, hence my query. I'll save it for a free weekend and give the first few eps a go, with a finger on the FF button.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
It might make sense for you to catch up in the summer. no pressing reason to watch it right NOW, you know?
finger on the FF button is key. You probably could get through the eps in 20 minutes. Especially given the commercial breaks.

I've never watched the show, zombies aren't my thing, but I found this blog post interesting.
Is "The Walking Dead" TV Show Racist?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There are points in that post that accumulate to make me eventually glaze over.
Take this:
T-Dog is a zombie TV version of the magical negro
Which I think is bullshit. He's not a magical negro at all. He's an underwritten black character, which is not the same thing. Magical negro is a specific (and not necessarily underwritten--undercharacterised, however) black character.
Also, Glenn is tapping more ass than any other guy on the show, so don't even go there about
"feminized" in the white popular imagination as asexual
And then turn around and say he's "granted" the privilege of a relationship with a white woman. You want him paired off with a POC? Because that would get singled out too. So either he's actually not getting any, he's sleeping with a minority, or he's sleeping with someone white. It can't all be racism, unless the solution is to only write white people.
So, pretty much, the valid race points (like how fucking white is the post-apocalypse and all those zombies are pretty white too) are going to be tarnished by reactionary stuff like that.
If it's a bad thing that Glenn's not a posturing macho shithead like the two male leads, then...where are we? Most of the fans I see discussing Rick and Shane think they're actually quite stupid. Not being written like them isn't a bad thing.
But, enh, I don't respect the show's writing or characterisation enough to defend it. I just think that they're leading with some flawed points.
