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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
They're handling the Derek/Jennifer love connection pretty ham-fistedly, but remembering back to Season 1 it's not as if Scott/Allison was a courtship to rival that of Beatrice and Benedick either. Jeff Davis should probably just make less with the smooching and more with the platonic friendships and werewolf-y action/horror, which seem to play to his strengths.
Even though I don't particularly object to the coupling, I do have to say that the sarcastic adoption of "Jenerek" as fandom's favored portmanteau entertains me to no end.
I have to give my dash props (and then deduct them) for not exposing me to that.
I think that teenage instant epic love makes way more sense than an adult falling into bed with the magic wounded bad boy NO MATTER HOW LIKELY I WOULD BE TO DO THE SAME AT 44.
Heh. When one of the TWoP recappers commented on Jennifer not even knowing if cozying up to her knight in black dripping gunk would give her monkey hemorrhagic fever or the like, my immediate reply was "I'D TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THOSE ODDS!"
I would sincerely love it if instead of playing the subplot like some earnest true love story they instead revealed that Jennifer is so Twilight/supernatural romance-obsessed that it's prevented her from ever forming a healthy relationship until Derek flopped into her life like a fanged, blood-spattered dream come true.
I don't give whatsisname the genius auteur props people who really know better seem to be handing him, and I do think the show's success is almost coincidental to him (casting is brilliant in spots where brilliant counts).
I'm also not sure how I feel about him rolling around in the Sterek press in the hiatus and slamming right into a het ship with minimal time between the two of them (and any two is the two I'm referring to). I at least expected to see some of the D/C-level wink wink nod nod even if he can't build a platonic relationship with the depth and subtext that we ended up with. I would really really like a bi Stiles, though. That's so easy a case to make it's almost boring.
Which...I think there's a lack of narrative tension with the no homophobia world he's created. I don't think he's exploring what that might mean--we're still very short on gay male nookie scenes (I'm not as bitter as a fan my sister keeps funnelling me commentary from who complains the lesbians get so much more screen time...is that my bad?) and just general indications of relationships, etc. Having Danny be agitas-free is a great first step. Can he also be sexually fulfilled? Shows of intimacy? Just plain old hand-holding? Outside of the rave and some conversation, it's pretty fucking straight in Beacon Hills.
Oh my God, they killed Kenya!
I don't actually know that, I just wanted to say it. I am easily amused. And pleased with Defiance although not counting the days until we get more.
Oh my God, they killed Kenya!
I have to say, that was a very unsatisfying end to her storyline. Maybe she'll wake up in S2 with amnesia or something.
Warehouse 13:
I would like to see Claudia's "dangerous" older sister help out against Parcelsus, and be played by Alyson Hannigan.
They couldn't find a British kid for that role? That accent hurts.
Well, poisoned doesn't mean dead and "I did what you asked" is super ambiguous.
Summer Glau - cast on Arrow!
