PBS is rebroadcasting the original House of Cards, if anyone's interested.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

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.

Having Selfie on in the background while cooking dinner has convinced me that I need never watch any of the 11th Doctor episodes if there's even a chance of Karen Gillan being in them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What I don't get is how Katrina is going to get any information she gleans to Crane and Abby. Witchy powers, I suppose?
The incantation to raise the Kindred (that is a very fine monster! I hope he hasn't disappeared into the void) sounded familiar so I googled. Lovecraft. I'm not sure what to make of that. And Crane
I love that Irving put the head in a safety deposit box. And Crane's rant.
I like the new sheriff being all no nonsense AND knowing Abby and Jenny's story from back in the day. Lots of potential there.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Does Forever go in here because of the immortal aspect? I have only watched the first episode so far, but I do not understand how he was able to figure out what poison it was simply by taking it.

Huh.

She's always been able to find a way to contact them before, so probably witchy powers, yes and a generous amount of handwavium.

This Forever show is intriguing so far, this is the first episode I've seen.

I wondered that myself. Are A&C supposed to sneak into Headless HQ every time they need a report? Seems fraught.
Hmm. I'm thinking about looking at that Forever show, see if it's worth my time.

Interesting characters, pleasantly crafted problem, only moderately intrusive flashbacks. And it looks like the potential romance between our hero and the lovely female detective is being foiled by good reasons. I'm unclear on the relationship between Henry and Abe. Is Abe his son?

Cool. I think this is a good reason to stay in my chair after Agents is over.

Back to "Sleepy Hollow" for a moment. In terms of Irving signing the paper,a and whether it counts. There ill-intentioned magical traditions where to cast a harmful spell requires the victim's consent, but that consent is defined very loosely. For example, say a practioner of such a path wants to cast a leprosy spell on Herbert. The evil witch can walk up and say "Is your name Herbert?" and when Herbert unsuspectingly says "yes" , Herbert has just consented to the leprosy spell.
So if the contract is for Irving's soul, then it is hard to fanwank. But for anything short of that, within certain magical traditions, Irving has just opened himself up to all sorts of really bad shit.
