I didn't get Olivia's "Yeah, it is that type of gun" line.
One that can kill an Observer?
Hands! Hands in new places!

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I figured that, but I don't remember when that sort of thing was discussed.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think that was a reference to the gun that shot September. When he couldn't catch the bullet, but Olivia could?

Holy shit, Walking Dead.
(I just watched the original Dawn of the Dead this morning, so it sure was interesting to compare and contrast.)

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
Yeah, I feel totally destroyed by The Walking Dead. I was not expecting any of that to happen during episode 4! That really felt like a season finale!

RIGHT? What the goddamn shit. As Zack Handlen put it:
It’s a big, bold, vicious move on the part of the writers, because at this point in the season, everyone should be relatively safe. Big changes happen in the premiere, or near the end, or right in the middle. Not in this strange no-man’s land, which on most other serialized dramas would have a lot of piece moving and table-setting. There’s a bit of that here (Merle’s chat with the Governor is pretty much a “let’s introduce a wee bit of tension between these two” moment, and not a lot else), but, well, dear lord. At this rate, I’ll be amazed if anyone’s left standing by Christmas.
Andrew Lincoln was devastating in the last scene.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought Joss and many of the people who've crossed paths with him, and TVD, and GoT, etc, had normalised "anyone could go anytime" by now. No, it's not prevalent, but it's also not that unprecedented.
I'm not gonna lie--that last scene read a bit like "T-Boy? Oh, that as a shame. WAHT???? LORIIII????"
It's not that I don't get Carl and Rick being devastated, but nobody seemed to give much of a damn about T and Carol (except to worry if Lori was with them), and then it's 0 to 60 in no time at all for death #3. Couldn't they have spaced them out a bit, then?

Oh, of course. But it's not the norm, and this show hadn't pulled it before, so it was surprising.

Heh, yeah, I got that too. I mean, obvs he cares more about Lori than T-Dog, but he didn't really seem to care at all about T-Dog. He saw his body and was like, huh, well, that happened.

It's really kinda sad that a post-apocalyptic plague-ridden dystopia is getting points for killing people off rhythm. It should be their norm, not a source of brownie points.
