Closed Film and TV threads

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

This is the final season of Fringe, yes?

Yes. Only 13 more episodes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Bounce bounce bounce. I'm expecting good things!

I just saw a big fiery explosion on the promo for this week's Revolution, so I assume it's not dampening of catalytic combustion that knocked out all the cars.

Oh, Fringe. I'm gonna want to listen to Yaz all week now. That ending was kind of beautiful.

The sound during the interrogation was... wow... seriously unnerving. I'm going to take a stand and say I don't like that observer.

Excellent, albeit creepy, use of Markham, beautiful family reunion, and heartbreaking backstory for Peter and Olivia.

I concur with all of that.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I want to watch it again. Walter was all kinds of heartbreaking in this one.

Oh, Fringe. I'm gonna want to listen to Yaz all week now.

OMG Yes!!! That kinda killed me, child of the 80s that I am.

And yes, Walter was all sorts of awesome.

Oh, Observers don't breathe well with too much oxygen? Remember the bald feral child they found in season one? Who couldn't breathe when docs tried to give him oxygen? Hello, callback. I hope we get to see some version of that kid.
