The show needs to be "John and Dorian bicker in the car for an hour."
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Almost Human has some cool ideas and I do like the world building a lot, but man, the writing is pretty bad sometimes. I started laughing at the "I am blind!" reveal because OF COURSE. It's a good thing Michael Ealy is so pretty.
I give Kennex a side-eye because I'm still not over him cavalierly destroying Paul's MX right in front of Dorian's eyes in that one episode (seriously, WTF) and getting off with a light slap on his wrist.
My favourite ep so far was the one with John Larroquette as Dorian's creator and Gina Carano playing a terminator. Not sure why they waited so long to introduce the existence of The Wall but I was intrigued.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like the bickering and have enjoyed some of the world-building (the spray which makes your face look like light so it is unseeable by security cams very much). I also find find both leads deeply lust-inducing, so there's that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm with Dana. The bickering in the car scenes are the highlight of the show.
The Wall has been mentioned several times, starting with the pilot, there just hasn't been much emphasis on it until recently.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm looking forward to the 1st episode of Mind Games tonight. The show probably doesn't belong in this thread, but I thought I'd mention it since Kyle Killen's last show (Awake) did. I wish it had something less mindless for a lead in.

I haven't been able to decide if I am intrigued by Mind Games or not. I dislike that one guy, and I might be over Christian Slater, so it all pretty much depends on the premise, and I don't think I know what that is.

It seems like Leverage, but with psychology. I'm mainly going to watch because I loved what Killen did with Awake and because I'll know many of the actors since it shot in Chicago.

Yeah, the Leveraginess is what's appealing. And I did like Awake, mostly. Hm.
Well, it's not conflicting with anything tonight, I can record this one and I hope I get around to watching it before too long.

I feel like I should watch Mind Games, as a friend of a friend (and someone whom I've also met at assorted Browncoat functions) is one of the writers, but I barely have enough time for what little TV I already do watch.

Because books.
I met the guy who wrote the book that Intelligence is based on tonight! Great guy, although his book is actually YA (the protagonist is 16) and when he sold the rights, a LOT of stuff was changed. (Josh Holloway is in his 40s, right?)
I haven't seen it -- has anyone else?
