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.
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 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.
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?
It's pretty standard network fare. But Josh Holloway.
(And it does sound like they changed a lot, because he's like ex-special forces super soldier.)
I think the book is about how he got that way, from the blurb I just read on Amazon. It's called Phoenix Island, by John Dixon, who is a super nice guy. I'd like to read it.
I started laughing at the "I am blind!" reveal because OF COURSE.
INORITE! I mean, how long have you been stalking this chick and you don't notice she's blind?
I'm looking forward to the 1st episode of Mind Games tonight.
I am irrationally annoyed that it only comes on once. I forgot about it until now. I may not bother to get into it since it's up against Person of Interest and Justified (although I can watch Justified later), but I find that when I have these multiple time show, I get behind very quickly.
I love Wednesdays, man. New Arrow night!
I watched Mindgames (while recording Person of Interest and Chicago Fire - I sincerely hope somthing gets adjusted out of there soon). I enjoyed it more than I expected to - Steve Zahn's very manic, but as the character's literally bipolar it's less annoying than it might have been. And after making you think you know pretty much what's going on for almost the whole episode, threw in a bit of twistiness in the last 5 minutes. I'll keep watching.
eta Christian Slater has managed to tone his Nicholson back to almost not there, so also that's another worry addressed.
ET,
I despised the last 5 minutes. Like a whole lot. I am not sure why i have such a negative reaction to it, but it makes me not want to see any more eps of the show. I was moderately enjoying it up until then. But the end took all of the wind out of my sails.
It was definitely not expected. I'm interested to see where they're going with it - I hope not making Slater's character into the selfish, manipulative asshole that the scene would seem to imply.
