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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Typo had me trying to remember the name of a b&w zombie movies I saw years ago, and in the process I discovered the existence of Shock Waves (1977), in which Peter Cushing leads an army of Nazi zombies.

The movie I was thinking of was "I Walked with a Zombie," in which the woman's zombie-like state may be from disease, abuse by her husband or voodoo. What I remember about it is that it had a wonderfully spooky atmosphere and the sort of acting in which lines are delivered with a lot of dramatic pauses. "Yes, she is ....... a zombie."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Just finished watching the first two eps of Korra. Oh, how I missed this world! I loved Tenzin's son falling asleep while meditating, and Toph's daughter calling Korra out on vigilante justice not being her purpose in life.

Can't wait for more! I really hope that the rest of the episodes are available on Hulu or somewhere online, since I have no tv.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I caught the eps too and I happened to look at the credits at the end and imagine my surprise when I saw J.K. Simmons name. So then I had to rewind the credits to see what other names I recognized. There is a carnival of famous people in this show. Beau was surprised I recognized so many voice actors, but it was hard not to with all the famous people.

There is one person who is credited who I don't remember appearing (Stephen Root), so I look forward to more from him.

Shock Waves (1977), in which Peter Cushing leads an army of Nazi zombies.

Ooo, that's the one with the iconic image of the Nazi zombie rising out of the water.

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

I'm looking at google image search results for 'shock waves zombie'. Is this the zombie in question, even if it's not the shot?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Lance Henricksen is in the Korra credits! And Eva-Marie Saint! WTF.

ION, I saw Fringe last night. If I express dissatisfaction with the outcome, does that mean I have no romance in my soul?

Also, if the love of Peter's friends/family is responsible for bringing him back from nothingness, what about the people who died in this reality because Peter wasn't there to save them? Shouldn't the love of their friends/family have brought them back, too?

I'm going to mourn the lost possibility of Olivia/Lincoln: I thought they had a really nice insomniac's rapport going.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Do we know of anyone who died because Peter wasn't there, aside from Olivia's stepfather?

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

Anyone he helped save, maybe, in the earlier seasons? Or did those circumstances not arise?
