If you get a chance, ask John Rogers why Excalibur had to die. Seriously, that was irritating and pointless. Poor Cal. Also, melting away, wtf? Also also, have you mentioned to John Rogers my enduring crush on him? No? Ah, probably just as well.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wasn't the sword in the stone just a sword that Merlin stuck there with a spell to stay put until drawn by the future King of England?

What I'm saying is, there had better be some (shirtless) badassery going on next week.
So, did this meet your standard?
I don't really believe Ollie is all-the-way-not-coming-back dead BUT skewering through the chest and kicking him off a mountain is pretty persuasive.

Quite well indeed.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Seriously though, that fight was fucking brutal. I thought parts of the episode were kinda lumbering, but those last few minutes were a thing of beauty. Gorgeously filmed, tremendous fight choreography, great music -- just, really well done. Ra's death blessing made the hair behind my neck stand up.
Apparently they shot the scene on location rather than sound stage. Those actors were doing the shirtless fight scene in actual freezing temperature.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Aye, the Sword in the stone is not Excalibur, in fact it is mostly films and tv that have conflated the two.
Oh! here's an excellent Wiki.

That aside, it doesn't keep me from thinking about someday using my Dremel to cut a slot into a small rock for my mini Excalibur letter opener.

Having nothing better to watch I tuned in to the Librarians TV show, and dear God did someone's daughter make their minotaur costume for a gradeschool play? I've seen school mascots that looked more realistic and scarier.

Eh, it wasn't a great costume but it did the job ok for me. Transforming the minotaur into a biker dude for the bulk of its screen time was a smart move, though.

I haven't seen tonight's Librarian yet, but the Ursula costume on OUAT was horrible.
