I just noticed that Philosopher's Stone is among the words that appear in the Fringe opening sequence.
Angel: Lorne, you're— Lorne: Reliable as a cheap fortune cookie? Angel: I was gonna say a guy with good contacts…
'Shells'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
'A' for effort on identifying the correct commuter rail line (though it would be 'Salem Station', not 'Newburyport/Rockport Station'), but that is SO NOT Salem. One of the better laughs I've had all day, though (right after Walter's "You've tried LSD before, haven't you?").

Also, that fact that they drove from Cambridge to Salem in a couple of minutes...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I wish.

OK, well the end of that took all the funny out of it. Sad now. I agree with Walter's last words. So much.
Also, since they heavily referenced a non-existent Salem Bay College - is the blue universe not really our universe, sloppy research, or legal caution since there is a Salem State College?

Frank -- yeah, the quick drive is the obvious fantasy element in this universe... blue, pink, paisley, whatever.
Is this the first time the two Walters have had a direct conversation. Not that Mr. Noble doesn't always do good work, but sitting side by side like that was quite something.

It's just - why get so weirdly specific as Newburyport/Rockport (which is the commuter rail line that Salem is on) when "Salem Station" (such as it is - there's no station building; just a platform) would be correct?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Just watched this week's Grimm. The show is starting to get its legs.
So is Monroe's friend Nick.

26-episode seasons for AtLA was probably too many, but I'm thinking the 10-episode Korra seasons are too short. It seems that they're trying to pack too many things in each episode,

Aw, man, Fringe. That was sad. I'll miss those guys interacting. I wonder whether we'll see the others again.
I loved Walter's cartoon slideshow... of dual-universal destruction.

I'm still wondering WHY three genre shows have to be on at the same time. Don't I suffer enough already?
