When hulu+ says "modest ad load" what are we talking? 3 per episode or more?
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Same number of ad breaks, but they're only about 30-90 seconds long (instead of 4 minutes). And some shows have a "watch this 2 minute ad right now and your show will be played without interruptions" option, which is kind of nice.
Oh my, I finally got around to watching the S2 premiere again and I really cannot emphasize strongly enough how attractive Tom Mison is when he makes that face that he makes.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm in the ripped headless horseman seems wrong camp.
My thought was, "Fan service? The hell kinda fans do they think they have?"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I love that option. It's the "go to the bathroom and refill your drink" version.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I was just talking with D about how PERFECT casting Mison was. I love Beharie, don't get me wrong, but he is perfect on this show.

Thanks Jessica.
I'm looking at the advisability of switching from Netflix...which I quite like but does not feed my speed need when it comes to new episodes. It seems every option has its downsides though.

That's why I have them all: Hulu Plus, Netflix and Amazon Prime! Though I still have to wait for things like Mad Men and Doctor Who and Justified. Not feeling flush enough to buy the episodes.

I do see the advisability of this over cable...which I could not do without a tv obviously.
But, I'm worried about overlapping and STILL not getting what I really want...like Doctor Who on game day!

I keep telling myself that this is an alternate universe
Yeah, that's the only way it works for me.
But it was fun! Which is all I need. And I totally recognized Timothy Busfield, except I couldn't remember his name and kept saying, "Danny Concannon is Ben Franklin!" to my uncomprehending dog.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I kinda like Gotham so far. Perhaps because I actually have very little grounding in canon, but it seems to have potential, and I like the way its shot.
Sleepy Hollow made me very happy. That may be my favorite way to escape having been buried alive yet (the sheer number of times I have seen a character emerge from a grave is getting pretty high, but it's still a good time).
I wondered about the crossbow
For Kali's arrows. Whatever they are. APparently they work similarly to sanctified bullets.
I do recommend catching up on Season 1 when you get the chance, Tep. Not so you know what's going on, just because there are so many delightful moments that you just have to see for yourself. Literally addressing your "he needs some skinny jeans" comment, for example.
I think my favorite line was, "Must learn to drive."
Me, too. In part because it gave me a flash of Ichabod and Abby going on The Amazing Race.
