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.

Mick and Josef sitting in a tree... nothing to see here...

You missed Josef TURNING Mick?

Oh, that's so sad.

Yes! and Yes! it is! The music and the dialogue had me cracking up. It was all very romantic. I think I even might have had Chef in my head singing "Gonna lay you down by the fi-yah and make suh-weet love"

the silly Six-holding-him-up in last week's ep

See, I don't think that was played for comic effect at all. Creepy and eerie was the vibe I got from that. He didn't have control over those movements.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Wordy McWord.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, I didn't think that was supposed to be comical, exactly.

Well, Josef did pipe up with "I'm a lover, not a fighter" fairly early in that sequence.

Tangentially, am I the only one who thinks Dohring looks MUCH creepier in the vampire appliances and makeup than the other characters on the show? The rest just look kind of exotic with the contacts and fangs, but he looks like he's rotting...

I have to say I don't get any of the Dohring fannishness at all. But I say this as a non-VM fan (in that I've never watched it, not that I watched and don't like).

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

i'm not sure Dohring will ever find a role that fit him as perfectly as Logan did. i enjoy watching him as Josef, but if i could have him as Logan for one episode versus five seasons of Josef on Moonlight, i'd take it.

Compassionately intolerant

I rewatched the latest Moonlight and liked it a bit better the second time. What I would love for them to realize though is that 'sexy vampire jumpy thing' not really so sexy in practice. If they just assumed the flying, ala Angel, it would be so much cooler.

And I agree that Dohring looks way, way cree pee-er in vamp make up than the others. I can see him being all method and begging the makeup team for more!morerot!

eta: They aren't doing so well with guest stars, sadly. Eduardo Bellerini (the plastic quack) was so loathe worthy in Romeo Must Die but in this role, he was just squinty. Too bad.
