'Shindig'
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.
What's funny is that in Season 1, the viewers got the impression that he was really not a nice person. Now, his bad past is somewhat forgotten.
It's always interesting when the character develops in a way the writers didn't expect, and they have to redeem the character some way. Boyd from Justified is another character like that.
I'm not sure Boyd has been redeemed. We (the audience) like him. But if you think about what he *does*, he really is still a bad guy. I'll discuss this further in Cable drama, but probably not tonight.
No Korra next week? Already, Nick?
I keep hearing differing reports on whether they're actually screwing around with the schedule.
Anybody manage to find Korra:1x04 online?
Nick doesn't seem to be posting the episodes online anymore, but I found an ahem in the Bay of Pirates.
Yeah, I haven't looked in such places. I was hoping the legit channel would stay open.
I wonder how much a character's development (as from nasty to nice) is a matter of natural development and how much is due to an actor wanting his character to be liked.
Some actors really like playing villains. (often they're some of the nicest people you'll meet). I expect tho that their ability to find empathy for the bad characters seduces the writers and creators.
I always figured that anyone who plays villains a lot gets all their evil impulses out on the screen (or stage), leaving them with nothing but niceness when they're off. I've heard that Boris Karloff was a charming man in real life.
