Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
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?
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?
Theo: so true.
I'm very happy that Fringe is getting another season. But I'm going to miss the Alt-verse people.

Yeah, there's a lot going on in that. For one thing, I was convinced that Asami was a plant, but I guess we're supposed to take her seriously.
So, who gave Sato the money to start his factory? And what was the deal with the visions Korra had? It's one thing for her to see images of Aang, that makes sense--but why Sokka and Toph?
Decided to dive back into Eureka as much as Hulu will let me. Forgot all about the fact that they're living in a present that isn't on the same path as it used to be!
Also, Sally Richardson-Whitfield blew me the frick away with all the emotions she went through, everything she said without saying a word. Erica Cerra, too.
And of course Colin continues to amaze me with his goofy realness tempered with raw emotion, intense badassness, and physical comedy.
Also also, I love Henry's shop, and how it hasn't changed. Even the lighting makes me nostalgic for early Eureka.
I was thinking about Fringe today, as one does, and I realized that, with all the timelines and alternative universes and parallel worlds and stuff, the only actor on the show who hasn't had to play multiple versions of the same character is Joshua Jackson.
And in fact, he's only ever played the same guy. Peter is the still point in the story: there's only one of him in the two universes, and his personal history has never changed. So he's the same guy now as he was back in season 1, or to put it differently, he remembers everything the viewer has seen, while the other characters all have histories which are now unknown to us.
I still think Joshua Jackson is the weakest member of the cast, and Peter the least interesting character on the show, and it almost makes me wonder if the showrunners structured this situation around the fact that JJ isn't capable of the acting they would need to make Peter be more interesting. As a result, it's the actor's own weaknesses that end up making Peter the fulcrum on which the plot turns...
