Were the glitches and memory problems because Senator Wen's cohorts were running subplots for their own entertainment apart from the stuff that interacted with the real people?
I wouldn't put it past them! How could they resist?
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, why would Jo put on the big seduction act for Carter when they were both supposed to be computer-generated NPCs?
None of the NPCs know who the other NPCs are, just to be on the alert for suspicious behavior. So as soon as Carter started acting differently, NPC!Jo went on the offensive. Presumably if the programmers had been able to watch, they could have stopped her from being SO over the top.

I wouldn't put it past them! How could they resist?
If nothing else, once I watched Senator Kervorkian pull the plug on Holly I'd have made sure nothing extra beyond the planned scenario was running in my area of responsibility!

I'm sad for Fargo. Glad for the rest. Sad there was no actual mission to Titan!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Someone posted a gif on Tumblr of the rose and cupcake that Bolin brought Korra, and it got me thinking.
Disclaimer: I am bummed that this series--which is so friggin stellar in most other ways--is so very heteronormative.
Disclaimer having been disclaimed, if they're going to do some sort of romantic arc for Korra, how awesome would it be if the love interest wasn't Mako. I vote "very awesome"
Disclaimer 2: Obviously, the awesomeness would be contingent on how it was handled in the narrative, but they've proven themselves to be pretty solid, narrative-wise, IMO

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
As Jo was walking Fargo out for some privacy, I began to get all weepy.
I love how fast this whole story has played out (I'm not finished watching yet, just taking a break to be verklempt), and while there's still repercussions to be dealt with down the line, I love that they aren't milking storylines. Thank you, Show.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

They didn't know who was on the Astreus (sp?) and who wasn't???
But even if Jo suspected Carter, why did she let him leave with Fargo? At least Evil!Henry got that right (or tried to).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Eeep. Trying to skim past Eureka talk since I'm not caught up.
I just saw the latest Fringe. Remember when the Red side were the bad guys? And now we're all sad to see them go. A teary Walter always gets to me.
I still think Joshua Jackson is the weakest member of the cast
I would agree, but I'll just point out that with that cast the bar is very high. I wouldn't expect him to outshine them, but he manages to hold his own opposite Noble and Torv.

And what he does, he does well. I always believe him.
