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've been trying to get my sister to watch the new Doctor Who eps, but she's such a loyalist to the old Doctor Who style that she won't really give it a try. As a result, she also avoided the first season of Torchwood.
Well, the fact that they brought in James Marsters was enough for my Buffy-loving BIL and sis to tune in to the first ep of TW S2, and they've stuck around for the entire season, really liking it. We discussed the finale last night--Owen's death wasn't a surprise to her, but Tosh's was. She couldn't believe that they offed two main characters at once.
I'm going to ship out my tapes of S1 and the Capt. Jack eps of DW S1, to see if they'll get sucked into DW as well. After "Blink" was first shown, I called and ordered them to watch it that night (they're two hours behind me), and they both loved it in its SF fabulosity.

we used to believe that only Joss could be that cruel.

Heh, I was thinking about this while watching the TW finale, and I don't remember either Joss or Tim was ever cruel enough to off two main characters at one go - Serenity and (probably) Not Fade Away being exceptions, but also not just season finales (vs. movie or series finale). I'm sure someone will remind me if I'm mistaken.
"Tabula Rasa" comes closest. Giles went back to England, and Tara broke up with Willow. While Giles returned, and Tara never went away completely, we couldn't be sure of either at the time.
But that chance they'd come back was there. Or should I say greater - this is Torchwood we're talking about, after all.

yeah, I mean, it's not like Owen wasn't dead or anything.

Owen, Susie, Jack (how many times?). Was Rhys dead, or just gravely wounded? I remember him being shot, but I thought there was another time that he was dead, but then some wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff fixed it.
Rhys died in last season's finale.
And it's pretty well implied that Ianto died in Cyberwoman, and Jack brought him back to life with the magical healing power of his lips.
Jesus God, does everyone die on this show?
So far, not Gwen. And Tosh hasn't come back (yet).
