I watched the first maybe fifteen minutes, and I didn't like it -- it seemed a little too hysterically surreal.
Really? I was hoping for more surreal, but I'm finding it mostly dull.
Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.
'Beneath You'
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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Was that a silent Black Canary for reasons, or us not hearing a familiar voice?

Because books.
Maybe not too surreal, but the surreal elements seemed to stick out awkwardly, like the White Rabbit and the caterpillar. If you're going to include elements like that, I want them to blend more seamlessly into the atmosphere as a whole, and those stuck out like giant props to me.

I completely agree on that point, and the flying carpet looked awful.

Why does Sayid look like he is playing Dave Chappelle playing Prince?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm kind of expecting to dislike Wonderland, based on the ads, but I will probably watch it at some point anyway. Possibly not, there is an awful lot of TV, but I am so very fond of the original.
Loving the season premier of Arrow! This is a story I am interested in, how he goes from Hood to Green Arrow.
Also loving the Mills sisters on Sleepy Hollow. I had to look up the actress how plays Jenny to find out I know her from Nikita.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Also do not particularly hate Lauren. Though I will admit that if you are in a monogamous relationship and sleep with someone else within days of breaking up, the other person was probably right to break up with you.

I hope that dramatic music really does play throughout the entire story. That would be awesome.

'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"
I kind of liked a kick-ass Alice, plus John Lithgow and the-guy-from-Being-Human and Naveen Andrews. I may be willing to overlook clunky CGI if the story improves as the series settles in.
