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.
I wish there was some reason for him to be named Dr. Whale. That said, Snow White hooking up with Victor Frankenstein does amuse me a great deal.
There is! Apparently a famous director of a Frankenstein movie was named James Whale. He is the director that the movie "Gods and Monsters" is about.

This SO bothered me because I kept associating Whale with Pinocchio.
It turns out that the association is probably about James Whale...who directed a Frankenstein movie.
The association to a real world figure bothers me even more! I what the storybook aspect to be pure, not a wink and a nod. Feh.

There's also Pinocchio's whale, I guess.
That's what I said first. I was _certain_ Dr. Whale was Pinnochio's whale, which makes the bait and switch so uncool.
This is what I'm saying.
I have a vampire story question.
Clearly, in Buffy, people whose destiny it was to kill vampires are capitalised Slayers. In Supernatural, people can choose to hunt, and in my head, they are lower-case hunters. From what I'm getting of TVD, we're talking capital letters again, so Hunters.
What other anti-vampire/supernatural fighter titles are there in the fiction? I'm trying to remember that pallid English Buffy genderswap ripoff--that was a title sort of a thing, right? What noun/verb did they use?
