Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Abed is Mantis now

I think I'm shipping Fauxlivia and both the Lincoln Tyrone Lees at this point.

Aw, I should've known better than to say that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That is going to be one fucked-up, unhealthy relationship. THEY ARE IN LOVE WITH OTHER VERSIONS OF EACH OTHER.

And, in there somewhere, if things keep coming out, Fauxlivia is also in love with Peter.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I find it very curious that Alt!Lincoln didn't die on screen.

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

I felt it was too obvious that AltLincoln was going to die. That disappointed me that it indeed played out that way.

Someone on IO9 is saying that our Lincoln is a shifter. Is that something we know? I whited it out in case it's a spoiler. I have absolutely no knowledge of this at all. I missed it, both onscreen and in discussion.

I guess they only made a cursory pass at the screen with the trackers, because they didn't work out that one of them is going off in their HQ. Wouldn't it be important to look and see where all of them are, ASAP? I thought that was kinda weird. I was sure that shoe would drop before episode's end.

That is not something we know; I assume it's a theory. Hope it's not a spoiler.

Yeah, especially given the speculation that Broyles is a shapeshifter. Well, we speculate; they have no reason not to trust him.

Oh, you're right--we don't know why he's a leak. That just seemed to be the simplest explanation. They might also have leverage on him, or he could just be sympathetic to their cause.

That is not something we know

THANK YOU. I don't see how there wouldn't have been more discussion of that, even if I'd missed the reveal/implication on the show.

Well, Broyles and Nina have a history (well, I don't remember whether the alternate versions do as well), so I don't think it's necessary for him to be a shapeshifter to be a turncoat. He doesn't seem reluctant, so I don't think it's a leverage issue, but it's entirely possible that she's convinced him to help her using normal human means.
