Quote from the AtLA finale:
To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable or you will be corrupted and destroyed. — Lion Turtle Island Dude.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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.

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!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sounds like something his sister's kid would do.
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.

I think she bent the doors open to let Tenzin out.

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

Thank you, Eureka, for opening the episode with some exposition. I know people mock that kind of thing, but I kinda needed this batch!

Holy crap. The writers of Eureka have been taking lessons from Tim and Joss.
