Friday Night Lights was 22 episodes the first season, then 15 the second because of the writers strike, and then 13 episodes each season after that. Since the nature of the show pretty much meant that each season had to cover the time period of a high school football season, roughly August-December, each of those later seasons had a whole lot of people explaining what they'd been doing for the past eight months in the first episode.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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 am the fly who dreams of the spider
Rewatched DW's Vincent and Van Gogh. Forgot how the end makes me cry, I think with joy, but it's also still pretty fucking heartbreaking, too.
Looking at ep titles, I have more warm fuzzies for season five than seasons six or seven of New Who. Especially 7. I didn't dislike season 7, but Clara is no Rory, or, Clara didn't have a Rory, and the mystery of who she was didn't really hold much continued anticipation it seemed, and I've rewatched all of seven most recently.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm totally with you, Juliebird.
I have "The Age of Steel" on right now. (Season2 Ep7) It has some big feels too.
Not only is the Van Gogh episode my favorite of all the Smith endeavors, it is one of the top 3 DW eps ever, in my estimation.
Having said that, I had a long conversation with a Whovian buddy the other day in which we both sang the lament of our people. "Why can't we have Russell back?"
Sigh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I admit--I stopped watching TVD, but since I caught the last two episodes of the past season, I thought I could make sense of a recap of the season opener, and no...pretty impressive stuff. I mean, I think my eyes were open for the finale, but I seem to have retained little other than Bonnie's death. Which...yeah.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Oy, I watched The Originals pilot. That was 50 or so minutes of my time that I wasn't using anyway, but now I feel slightly ashamed.

Please tell me there were white witches, at least!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yes, there were. There was even a prominent black vampire (who seems to be the Main Antagonist).
At least the creators of this show seem to admit that there are black people in New Orleans.

Even if that doesn't make much of a difference on the parent show, I am glad the coincidence didn't last.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
