I think that’s a CW mandate.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Ha! I would believe that.
Seriously, though, it actually pissed me off when Agent Carter went that route. It made me appreciate that SHIELD just...starts.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's more the voiceover as part of the show that bugs me. I can ignore the intro, although you are right it is totally redundant to the much cooler opening graphics.

The opening credits are by Mike Allred, who originally drew the comic.

Compassionately intolerant
I think that’s a CW mandate.
Reign had one but they eventually got wise and 86ed it. Just like iZombie, the opening credit sequence is cool enough to not need it. Besides, introducing Mary Queen of Scots as a person is no longer relevant is what now amounts to a soap opera...The Crowned & The Quixotic.

I like the in-show voiceovers. It's one of the things that reminds me of Veronica Mars.

I never like voiceovers. I grudgingly tolerated them in Veronica Mars because they are so ubiquitous in noir, but I generally wish they would go away.

I like the in-show voiceovers a lot, for the same reason. They aren't redundant like the intro voiceover.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Man, I wish I could watch iZombie, but the brain-in-noodles bit in all the previews squicked me way the hell away from the show.
