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.
Yeah I love Orphan Black too. Seem to me to be doing everything right - little as well as big things. For example revealing back story with in character dialog:
Sarah: "You were the one who introduced me to Punk".
Mrs S (with a sigh): "You picked up all of the attitude and none of the politics."
Or the musical choices. I think the choice of a German version of "These boots are made for walking" when Sarah was faking being the German was brilliantly appropos though I could not for the life of me make an argument why.
"You picked up all of the attitude and none of the politics."
Oh, I loved that. I'm so impressed by this show.
YAY for Orphan Black news. Go team channel! (I want to work for you! Hire me!)
and the most recent one ended with a slow montage over "Ooh Child" (used incredibly literally with shots of surrogate parents telling their grown children that it was going to get easier).
I am evil. I LOL'd and @@ when that song came on.
I think I will dive into Orphan Black tonight, given the glowing reviews.
Even if I didn't like Arrow I would have to keep watching it for the guest stars. Alex Kingston, JAR, and so many other interesting actors!
Grimm: I'm catching up on the two most recent episodes, and these are the worst bunch of monster fighters on TV. They have all known that Juliet has been going through something awful for weeks, and they're not getting together and trying to find a way to help her?
Her habit of demanding help/information and then shrieking at them and storming away 30 seconds after they start trying may have something to do with that.

Yes, definitely, but in between cases, you think that they would at least be talking about it, seeing if there was some kind of potion or such to help while they leave Juliet alone.

I would have argued with you about that because it took me way too long to understand that no one on Vampire Diaries who cared about fighting monsters (and by that I mean dangerous to innocents, as opposed to inhuman) was endorsed by the script, so there was no point judging their ability as such. Letting that go, that it wasn't Buffy or SPN, was such a freaking relief--I'm awful at stopping watching shows.
However, Teen Wolf helped
a lot.
It was almost precisely what I was asking Vampire Diaries to be, and what it had never promised to achieve. Amicable parting.
I watched an episode of Grimm at random a few weeks ago--the one with the made up monster with the unpronounceable German name? Kidding. The one with the toad-eating lawyer that almost got the wolfy guy off for killing his mousy wife. I do have to wonder if random SPN is that boggling and unengaging, but I don't judge the series on the basis of my lack of comprehension.

The only thing they're worse at is being cops.

Although when she really should have been shrieking at them, when the house fills with weird stuff right after they do a strange ritual with her, does she call them?
Remember back when Giles proposed scanning magic books and Willow said, "Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?" Why don't any of these people who depend on handwritten, unindexed books and journals ever get around to archiving season?
