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.
My joy at dicovering my cable system now gets BBC America and the El Ray network is being somewhat dampened by the fact that I've had C.H.U.D. showing on the latter for the past 50 minutes and still nothing has happened so far. Were all the 80s horror movies this boring and I just hadn't been desensitized by MTV and high-octane SFX blockbusters yet? It just seems impossible that I have less patience as a 45-year-old man than I did as a teenager.
Edit: FINALLY! At the 1:16 mark a CHUD appeared onscreen for half a second and killed someone.
Orphan Black Season 3 starts this Saturday!!!
OUAT wasn't too bad last night. I think the episode benefited from not having Emma, Snow, or Charming in it.
You aren't wrong. Their storyline is pretty dumb right now. But I did not entirely follow all the new plot twists - Rumpelstiltskin is being evil under duress from the Wicked Witch, right? What does she have over him? I was watching while I was doing my taxes, but I didn't catch how taunting him with the heart healing stuff led to them being in league or him being under her control or whatever is going on.
iZombie continues to be amazing fun and I kinda like the potential new love interest. Although I worry he is one of Zombie!Sark's customers. And am worried about Major (who for some reason reminds me of Capt. Awesome).
Bradley James! (He played Arthur on BBC Merlin). Blonde or brunette, who can forget those cheekbones. I liked him and hope he'll be recurring.
That was like an acid flashback to S1 Veronica Mars, what with Dick Casablancas and mentions of GHB. I kinda expected Lowell to be a zombie given his sudden interest in Liv, but the Captain being a zombie was a shock.

Plus some
Party Down
with Willy the Wino's catchphrase of "Are we having fun yet?"
the Captain being a zombie was a shock.
Yes!! I love how they've coded hot sauce to zombieism. Hee.
And am worried about Major (who for some reason reminds me of Capt. Awesome).
Same on both counts. I was afraid the new body for Liv was his.
I think I hate Iris West more than I hate Laurel. I'm just fast-forwarding through her scenes now.
I like the actress, but the "hero's love interest makes really bad decisions because everyone is keeping them in the dark" was horrible enough on Arrow. I have no idea why they felt the need to repeat it on The Flash.
Her as secret love interest is so cheesy and clichéd to begin with. Maybe it's from the comics, I don't know. But they've gone nowhere good with it, and borderline creepy at times.
Barry and Iris were a couple in the comics, though the next-door neighbor/adopted siblings thing is new for the show (and poorly conceived, IMO). At least, that's how it used to be. I can't speak for the current New 52 universe. (Which is where The Reverse Flash killed Barry's mother story came from. Originally Barry just decided to fight crime because he had super powers and it was the right thing to do.)
