Vampire Diaries just destroyed me.
Even in shows that have left behind their best stuff, it's still awful when they do that to characters you love! *sob*
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

at some point while Roy was lying in his pit-viper-venom-induced coma
I love that the show can give characters dialogue like "Maybe the pit viper venom hasn't worn off yet."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I haven't watched TVD inacouple of years, now I'm curious. What happened, Seska?

Much death and awfulness. I was entirely being emotionally manipulated by the writers, but I didn't CARE. *more sobbing*

I hope not the pretty one who used to be on Lost. (Literally all I know about TVD is from the commercials, which I always sum up as "Being a vampire is haaaaaaaard!") (To be fair, when we see commercials for Reign, I sum *that* up as "Being royalty is haaaaaaaaaard!" That's basically how all CW shows go. [Being a vigilante who shoots arrows is haaaaaard!])

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

Not as hard as having a brother! That's like, the haaaaaaaaaaaardest.

Compassionately intolerant
Heh.
I have to say, as clunky as I thought the Reign season finale was, I am SO glad they stepped back from the ledge of spectral entity.
Not that I don't love me some supernatual phenoms, but I figure their rampant disregard of actual, you know, history in this historical drama is enough of a fictional manipulation to justify the gorgeous costumes and Dawson's Creek angst.
I was very sad to see our Liege bite it. He was my favorite character. But, given the visitations that led to his demise, perhaps we will see him again.
The super tricksy meet-cute between Leif and Red Vixen should prove interesting next season.
