It's a long time since I've seen Kolchak, but I recall its having some humorous aspects. His proof that the supernatural or other freaky things actually happened kept disappearing in unlikely ways. He was always scraping by and in danger of being fired.

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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Stefan is like a special snowflake of not being in control with his ripper-ness, isn't he?
I've been assuming that Damon's not in control, but that he (and most vampires) don't want to be. Stefan and Caroline want to be, but Caroline seems to have had a reasonably easy go of it, relatively speaking, the whole time. I didn't factor in her father, but I don't remember her being crazy on the edge like Stefan seems to be all the time.
As for inconsistency and making stuff up....yeah, quite probably.

Yeah, I don't remember Caroline ever having the bloodlust bad - maybe when she first turned, but not as an ongoing issue. Maybe it's just her positive, can do attitude.
Damon says he's in control now, and when he hasn't been it's apparently by choice. At least, he hasn't seemed as desperate as Stefan.
I don't know, I'm carrying around too many competing vampire mythologies in my head, I can't be sure I'm not muddling up details.

So, Fringe. Well now. I had allergies.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Fringe was beautiful. And at times, gross and super creepy.

Oh, Fringe. I am so confused.

Korra: That was mean of them to bring up Zuko's Mom and then leave it hanging. They better come back to that plot point; otherwise, why bring it up at all?

A sitting turtle duck. I've missed this world! Is it airing now, or was that just a special preview?
