I'm rooting for Alison and Donnie to work things out and make a go of it, somehow, now.
Me too!
Who is Marian even supposed to be? We haven't heard of her before now, right?

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I didn't think so, but I don't trust my memory for detail...

Because books.
I think she was new as of last night's episode. I don't remember hearing her name before then.

It follows this season's trend of "replace a villain with a more villainous villain."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't like Donnie still. There was an ep in first season when he was talking to someone on the phone and said some terrible things about Allison. I won't forgive him for that.

Yes, I think of Allison as a friend I need to protect. Why do you ask?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I wonder if Vic the Dick will use having had his sobriety compromised as an excuse to get his rage on and go full metal asshole.(Not that snitching on Allison is not there already.)

Incidentally, I can rec Crossbones as a rattling good pirate series for them as likes their pirate tales to rattle.
I think I can discuss it here in boxed set because It has practical marine chronometers for determining longitude being developed in 1712 when even experimental ones were not developed until the 1730s and widespread use had to wait until the early 19th century. This is a fairly key plot McGuffin.
However I white fonted above just in case that is not enough of a loophole for this discussion be OK in Boxed Set

Compassionately intolerant
I spent enough time wondering where to comment on Crossbones that I gave up, so I'll jump in where tommyrot dared to tread.
I wasn't going to watch because, eh, I loved Under the Black Flag SO much, that my pirate experience is sort of complete.
BUT, Moist von Lipwig (Richard Coyle) is in it!
I really enjoyed the first episode...much more than I expected too, primarily because of the casting and possible plot connections to Longitude.
Then, I watched a review of it on "Just Seen It" (hulu) and now I'm worried. Three different directors for the first 3 episodes...all three critics used words like 'awful.'
Still, I'll stick until I can't any more.
I like the that piraty stuff is less eye patch/parrot and more commerce/personal journey.
