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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I'm only a few minutes into the episode and already I am sad.
What? There aren't enough Graysons in prime time? (Revenge)
Why? JRM with an American accent. Massive waste.
Whuh? I get that phone numbers are all 555s, but what is up with the number papers called "The Inquisitor".
More than anything, I hope the accent is a dodge and will wear off soon. It's not bad, but seems purposefully grating.

And the Order of the Dragon means nothing to me! Should it? (i.e. I don't remember it from any of the movies I've seen.)
Vlad, the actual historical Vlad, was a member of the Order of the Dragon, which was a chivalric organization dedicated to fighting Christian heretics.

Oh, I see, so it's the Blacklist for the last century.
Can it get any more derivative?
Sad now.

OH MY G-D THAT WAS HORRIBLE. But Pete, the StuntHusband, and my older brother were entertained by my yelling at the TV, so it was a win?

I feel sure Jilli's reaction is far more entertaining from the show, even just on the screen here.

Oh yes, unless I misunderstood his speech to Renfield, he said that 400 years ago the Order used to murder and pillage and rape and burn people alive "as they screamed for a God that never came.
And he's against this? Without the context I'd have assumed that was fond reminiscing.

I'd have more respect for the show if it had depicted Vlad's objections in terms of the Order stepping on his toes as the rightful village burner in Wallachia.
