It's a very well-paced season so far -- I'm really impressed by how all the arcs are coming together.
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

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.

Did you watch last night?

12 in the first season (streaming on Netflix), and we're on 11 of S2 right now. They're picked up for S3, 22 eps, I think.

That seems manageable from a catching up perspective. I think I know what I'll be doing while dealing with Massive Amounts of Ironing tonight.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Finally caught up on this week's Alphas. The new woman could be interesting, especially since she's bonded with Bill of all folks. His new Fight Club fixation is also interesting.
But mostly - did anybody else who watches the show get a vibe from that scene near the end with Parrish and Rosen that Rosen may have an Alpha ability he's not aware of? I had odd glimmers through the first season that might be the case, but that scene just set off a bunch of warning signs. I just can't quite parse what his ability might be. Empathy? Calming effect? I can think of ways that both might be useful to Parrish.

I went from liking bits of that chick's ability to eyerolling. The idea that her memory is a rolling deal, with finite capacity--cool. The idea that she watched a few hours of training tape and learnt how to hit someone in the neurotransmitters? Uh...surely you could have made something less weird up?

W13--my memory is correct that Jinks was taking the damage and Claudia was feeling the pain, right?

Yes.
