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.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And personally, I think 9 episodes is a more likely find than the 100+ someone claimed earlier this year.
Maybe they found a hundred episodes, but only nine of them had been lost.

the Mills sisters on Sleepy Hollow. I had to look up the actress how plays Jenny to find out I know her from Nikita.
THANK YOU! That has been bugging me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm the anti-cross-poster what cross posts at midnight: Elementary and Sleepy Hollow writers twitter fight. Spoilery to the degree of photographs of antagonists of each series, and socks.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Finally watched Arrow. Pretty damn good.
I feel like deliberately mentioning Laurel's sister early in the episode is setting her up to be Black Canary.
Laurel's makeover is fairly horrible. We get it, she's all jaded and hard and lost her compassion. Does that have to mean 80s streaked hair and all the makeup in the world? Oh honey, no.
Also, fuckyeahWalter!
Red hoodie Roy will never not make me grin.
Finally, I can't suspend my disbelief enough to buy Thea running an entire successful nightclub.

Yeah, I get the feeling that we are supposed to attribute Thea's being all responsible to the power of the penis.(Or twue luv) Which supports rather than detracts from your point about the unbelievability of Thea now successfully running the nightclub.

How exactly is she home to know that Roy is out patrolling the streets? Wouldn't running a night club be a job that keeps her working at, y'know, night?

All is well that ends in pizza.
So Oliver can now come and go as he wants from the island that he had to spend years trying to escape the first time?
Gilligan and company opened a resort...

l assumed that Thea succeeded at running the club because of the changes that came from a) her job b) the Glades c) Oliver disappearing. Roy did not even occur to me.
Why wouldn't Ohio be able to work out where he was? What would make the island inherently inaccessible? A cloaking device? Moving around? Other people could get there and he has massive resources,

Same here. Also, not having any parentals around, so she needed to step up and take care of herself.
