It's not that I object to a little gratuitousness in my vampire detective shows (hell, I was always happy when Angel's shirts were casualities), but I like a bit of substance to go with the flashing.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

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.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Basically, I was trying to be nice.
You were being nice. I think all of agreed that at least some of us found every show on that list sucktastic. We just might vary which ones we could stomach.
(Yes, I watched Moonlight, and I'm almost not ashamed to admit it. It was Angel, if Angel was a bodice-ripper.)
And at the end of the series with Josef turning Mick, and then later, sharing a "freshie" cringe, it was difficult not to watch.

Josef turning Mick
Oh God, but that plotline totally pays for itself by creating some of the slashiest on-screen slash in recent memory. Some of Angel? Less gay.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Josef turning Mick
Someone needs to explain to me how that worked. Mick was still technically a vampire but with the "cure" in his blood. After Josef turned him he still would have had the "cure" in his blood, so why did it work?

Yeah, at the end, total vamire/sex fest.

I figured it was all the handwavium.
No seriously, I didn't get it either. If he was going to become a vampire again eventually, you would think that he really was a vampire the whole time, and the "cure" was just suppressing it. So why would re-vamping him work? It's not like he actually became human again, he was just fake!human.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
And if the cure was in Mick's blood, wouldn't drinking it turn Josef into human thereby having the unintended reverse vamp effect?
I'm just going back to watch the youtube link of the slash. It is less brain hurty.

exactly. I didn't want to offend by calling all of them awful, because MMV.

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

It caught my eye because you went in and excluded a couple, that's all. I thought you were saying there was some objective criteria out there that separated Dresden Files and Blood Ties from the rest--but I see there's not.

Oh, that episode has one of my favorite lines. I even used it as a tag once.
The line about "can your science explain that?" Brilliant.
