Fringe tonight! [link]
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?
'Safe'
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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What?? I'm seeing Looper tonight! I hope my DVR knows what's going on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"everything stopped" and "the laws of physics went crazy"
Those seem like adequate hyperbole for your lives getting fucked over so royally.
Yet--not tempted to watch the show. I realise I'm in Kripke's other show for the relationships. Primarily one, but any relationship Sam or Dean has is my catnip. Ensemble show? That's not the wheelhouse I'm interested in. I don't feel sucked in by his world-building or plotting or dialogue enough to pay full attention to even the pilot.
And...markedly? My dash hasn't mentioned it at all. Elementary, they're talking about, but not the new Abrams/Kripke outing. I wonder what my friends page looks like--but that has less random fan input.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
report back in the movie thread! I am seeing the movie tomorrow because I teach tonight.
Yeah, not very happy about that.

I have friends who have given up on Fringe, but I'm enough of a post-colonization fan to try the new season. I may have to pretend that it's not the same show, though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Fringe absolutely has me in its grip. I am not sure what it would have to do to get me to stop watching, but I'm finishing this season.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
This is the final season of Fringe, yes?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
One law of physics that apparently went crazy was momentum, or planes wouldn't have just fallen out of the sky and the scene with the car lights going out would have been a 100-car pile up.
Of course, the banning guns thing seems equally improbable. Attempting to take away guns would probably kill half the population, and all the gun ownership records probably vanished when the computers went down.

Yeah, that really bothered me. Drama over logic only works if you've earned it.

TV physics clearly indicates that planes are propelled through the air by constant conversion of fuel to thrust, and if that stops, they plummet like a stone. Also, if pilots stop paying attention (like, lose consciousness), this also causes gravity to trump everything and suck the planes directly and immediately downwards, with a spiral at best, but more typically lead weight plummeting from great height behaviour.
