I mostly enjoyed Alias, and then it got to the end of the season, and none of the arcs were resolved, and they just kind of hit the reset button, and it pissed me off.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Alias never worked for me, and LOST somehow kept me watching (for the characters, I guess), but I was stone-cold in love with Fringe almost from the start, and especially after we got seriously into the alternative timelines. I came away with the sense that they respected their viewers, and wanted to play right with the characters, too.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I join Theo in the Fringe love. I seriously plan to do a complete rewatch soon.
I stuck with it through bot Alias and LOST so I feel like I earned Fringe!

I am with Theo and quester with the Fringe love, but the first season took a while to find it's legs. It was a bit of an X-Files knock-off for a ways there.
I can definitely feel the Fringe folks fingerprints all over Sleepy Hollow, and not just because they brought in John Noble.

The status is NOT quo.
I really loved this week's Doctor Who. Old school monsters with some spots of humor and rumblings of Things to Come.

I thought the visual effects in this week's Who were the best I've ever seen. Very cool. Very creepy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Right, bonny?? This is supposed to be a low-budget show but holy cats.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Best episode of this season, I think.

Agreed!
The baddies were amazing. Sort of rota-scope. Sort of impressionism. Plus, plus.
So much awesome.

I really enjoyed this episode as well. Not much more to add, except I liked Clara taking her turn at being "The Doctor".
