I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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 Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Seriously, Typo. I would give a unit of blood to get Diana Rigg as The Doctor.

In other news, Abigail Nussbaum has a comprehensive look at everything season 1 of Legend of Korra got wrong. I enjoyed the show, but Nussbaum's pretty much on the money, for me.

Still enjoying Teen Wolf S1 with one episode to go. I'm really impressed with how the show is paced, as every ep seems to involve a non-cheap cliffhanger or plot progression that makes you long for the next one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am only that far through yesterday's ep, but I doubt there'll be a line to top "Nothing gets past those keen werewolf sense, huh, Scott?"

And then there are the visuals--why is this not already on my dash?

Seriously, Typo. I would give a unit of blood to get Diana Rigg as The Doctor.

If there were a pledge drive I would do the same!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

And now I'm up to day with Teen Wolf S2, thanks to some selective ahem-ing. I wouldn't say this about many series about teen heroes facing supernatural monsters, but it's almost Buffy-esque, if you turned that a little bit inside out so that it's the supernaturals who are the heroes.

Diana Rigg AND her daughter.

Okay, I'm not a Doctor Who fan but I MUST watch this ep. LOVE!

Teen Wolf S1

We just started watching this, too. The lead is a cutie and I think we're in, though the quality seems to be dropping slightly with each ep. We'll see.

I'm now re-watching S1, and seeing how they develop the characters all over again. Derek and Stiles should have more scenes together, their antagonism is so very watchable.

Eureka - OMG, it's Holli and the PCs!

Was I just too too dense when I missed it watching the last episode? Don't answer that one.

They're getting the band back together!!!

Hmm, given that this is one of the last two episodes of Eureka ever, as much as I like that Colin can play creepy bad guy, this is not how I want to remember Jack in the end run. Plus - seriously missing Zoe if that is how this goes.
