Scola,
a tv critic said it was one of the better new tv series. That is the ONLY reason why I'm watching it. The ads make it look sketchy as hell.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw my first Almost Human poster yesterday, and oh, please let this not suck. Urban is clearly a friend of the people and deserves great success, and who doesn't want to look at Michael Ealy? Lili Taylor? Other people who are probably very nice and I care much less about right now?
Exactly.
I do remember hearing scathing things about the premise, but little on the actual show itself. Any facts or opinions?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I watched the original Thames series on Nickelodeon in the 80s.
Rereading this made me think that I wanted a Danger Mouse reboot, but then I realized we already have Sherlock.

Why did I think that the original Tomorrow People was Australian? I only saw an episode or two, a long long time ago. But I am such a sucker for super-powered teenagers, it isn't even funny.

Arrow: that was too much plot for one hour.

Arrow got plot? This is exciting!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, weird thing during OUaT. In the scene where Snow decided to go into exile, there was a deer CGId into the background during a couple shots of her. At precisely the same time, Big Dramatic Music started (not inappropriate to the scene). It seemed like a really odd thing to spend resources on, so I assume it must Mean Something, but I'm stumped as to what.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The cottage where we're staying doesn't have TV reception (it's in the 1700s, I think, except it has high-speed internet), so I have to wait until tomorrow so I can get Arrow from iTunes.
So basically, I WAS EXPECTING MORE SPOILERS, people. Sheesh.

He's infringing right now. Batman and Spider-man have a tenuous licensing agreement with Tarzan when it comes to swinging on pieces of rope from overhead structures, and they both steer away from doing it in trees, out of respect.
Not that blowhard Arrow.
Man, if they kill Diggle I will leave.
