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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'd like to go on record as saying that, when I die, I'd really like someone to make a wicker man full of fireworks for me.

I'm thinking that Steve saved Sam, and the appliance drop didn't prove anything. Maybe Sam's father's deal with the devil was for immortality?

Yes and interesting. It may be that he didn't even want immortality, but when you make a deal with the devil there is always a catch. So if he made a deal with the devil to keep him from dying, maybe the devil made him immortal or part demon, even though that is not what he asked for.

Oh, I'm sure that Steve saved Sam.

Because clearly, his Dad is not exactly human.

I had the immortality thought. I also thought that maybe Mom and Dad are demons who were told to raise the devil's son as human. I mean, Mom wasn't exactly distraught when Sam told her.

I mean, they certainly are trying to set up the devil and his son dynamic with the game of catch and all. Of course, I loved the twist when the devil tortured him.

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

Oh, I'm sure that Steve saved Sam.

Oh, I didn't even think about that.

So if he made a deal with the devil to keep him from dying

Wasn't the deal to save Mom? If it was to save him, your "catch" makes sense.

I mean, Mom wasn't exactly distraught when Sam told her.

Yeah, I feel like something's up with Mom too. Although if she knew Dad was fine (because he's a demon or immortal), then she could be just a regular human.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

She was so cold when Sam told her. But, then, maybe this has happened before.

OTOH, I was thinking. Dad can't be a demon if he could get out of Solomon's cage, right? or, is it that Mom let him out?

I think that Mom let him out OR Tony left the cage open when he saved Sam but there was all that earth already filling in the hole.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

They hadn't totally filled it in at the time. But then, maybe the demons decided to fill it in to cover up the dead human body.
