No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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 sort of wished Helo was the last Cylon, since it completely frells the whole thing about Hera being a hybrid.

Also, have the writers just forgotten about Nicky? All this focus on Hera, but Nicky's just as much a hybrid as Hera, even if the only ones who know it are the Four.

Shouldn't someone be having visions about him, too?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I feel like maybe they're intentionally putting the focus on Hera to make it more surprising when they end up using Nicky instead?

Also, sheeeeeit, I hope Natalie isn't dead! Come on, hybrid, you got them to jump in time, right??

Frank, I think Donna is Ten's OTC. I liked Martha, but I adore Donna. Maybe because I love the actress, I think she's a step up from Billie Piper and Freema Angyeman

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Why to hate the Gaeta?

Honestly I don't even remember. I know I used to adore him, and now whenever he's on screen, I get almost the same kneejerk reaction as I do with seeing Dualla, who also used to be awesome like an awesome thing. (I suppose I could say the same for Lee but I'm biased and unfair and he was never awesome, just my fave).

That was a good BSG! Jump! Holy shit!

Natalie is the Cylon leader, yes?

I feel like BSG might be back on track.

Yes. I don't know why/when she got a name, but that's what I've seen her referred to as.

I feel like BSG might be back on track.

It's about frakking time.

'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"

It really feels like the show is kicking ass and taking numbers again.

I'm particularly taken with the situation of the Final Four and whom their loyalties will eventually end up with. They're so screwed, whichever way it ends up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fired up the TV and it was sitting on BBC America showing me the end of the Dr. Who episode with K9 and Sarah Jane. Which was whiplashy. It was just as Mickey was asking to accompany, and my mind was trying to make him a grownup Clyde. Clyde's much cooler.

So what do we know that happened to K9 since she walked off with him then?

I know, I know he's in outer space!

Where did we learn this?

As for Sarah Jane again this week, they startled me. Mr. Smith was certainly a well-hidden right hook.

Can't comment on Dr Who yet because it's a two-parter (how annoying to have a break here!) and there's no way I'll remember what happened in which ep.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

ita, Sarah Jane opened some portal in her attic that revealed that K-9 was in space redirecting asteroids or moving something, I can't remember exactly what, but it was going to take him awhile. And that was the last we've seen of him.
