I mainlined Season 4 of Eureka to catch up to this season. I had forgotten what a gifted physical comedian Colin is!
Also, I'm not crazy about the whole Beverly thing. I think the series is better without her.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Mako is SO Batman.
He really is.
I've got a feeling that he's going to lose his bending, though. Because what do you do to Batman? Give him more angst.
I do wonder whether anyone has pointed out to the Equalists that, in all likelihood, the city is dependent on the benders for all the infrastructure they're using
Pshaw, you're just applying Capitalist-I-mean-Bender "logic" to oppress The People. Once we are all equal, then all will be peace, harmony, and fruitfulness.
through him, another connection with the first series.
I think this is likely. I'm really hoping that it's not to Zuko.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
It probably isn't Zuko, but might it be his nephew? Sounds like something his sister's kid would do.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Caught up on "Being Human".
Thanks for the reminder that I needed to do that. I do like the new characters, but I did not like this season's plot at all. I am not as mad at the UK show as I am at the US version, I think, but that is pretty damn faint praise.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
No being mean to Mako!

See, I don't like the bad guy this series coming from the same family (or even, actually, the same Nation) as the bad guy from last time around.

Assuming that he's spirit-bending (can you spirit-bend without being a Bender?). He claims to be, but the chi-blockers certainly aren't.
No being mean to Mako!
I hate to say this, but Mako might as well have "woobie" written on his shirt in big letters. And narratives are notoriously mean to woobies.

Yeah, pretty much. I would however be surprised if we didn't get some non-bender allies, though: Sokka and Suki being as important as they were in ATLA, after all.
Hmm. We haven't seen Lin Beifong bend yet, have we? Wouldn't it be interesting if she weren't a bender? She could be in charge of the police because she's awesomesauce, not because she can bend metal.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think she bent the doors open to let Tenzin out.

Oh, did she? Ah, okay. It was a nice theory...
