Maybe there's a secret FBI-only superhighway that THEY don't want us to know about.
Nope, they used the Nanda Parbat subway system.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Doctor Who, Zygon ISIS: finally, we have learned the Doctor's real name. Doctor Funkenstein.
In every story this series so far, I've liked the first episode more than the second. (In only one case is that because I thought the second ep was dreadful, namely Before the Flood.) There is a lot of room for me to enjoy next week's ep and have this rule still hold. (That said, I think that more than any other Part 1 this season, this one doesn't stand on its own.)
One comment I've read this may be the first Doctor Who ep that not only passes the Bechdel Test, but fails the Reverse Bechdel Test.
Another thought: there've been a lot of callbacks to past adventures lately. The Girl Who Died of course had the Flashback to The Fires of Pompeii, and also a callback to the Third Doctor ("I'm reversing the polarity of the neutron flow. I bet that means something, it sounds great.") and the Seventh Doctor ("Time will tell. It always does.") And this week, along with the Day of the Doctor flashbacks we had 4th Doctor Osgood and 7th Doctor Osgood, and the conversation about the question marks. The 'naval surgeon' who developed the Zygon nerve gas was probably a reference to Harry Sullivan, who stopped travelling with the Doctor in Terror of the Zygons. Oh, and a picture of the 1st Doctor in UNIT.

Oh, my favourite possible reference, if it was intended as a reference. I've heard it suggested that the Zygon, Bonnie, was named after Bonnie Langford.

The new season of The Librarians starts tonight with two episodes.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I didn't get around to watching the first season, but it just came to Hulu, so I'm going to have to get on that.

The Librarians is fun. It's a shut off your brain and look at the pretty type thing more than analyze the plots but it's fun.

Yes, it is. I was surprised that I missed Christian's long hair from the Elliott character.

I kinda missed his long hair but from the first season or 2 of Leverage by the end it was looking rather...frazzled.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Watching Librarians now. Or trying to. I keep getting interrupted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There will be a new Star Trek series in 2017, created by Alex Kurtzman, who not only co-wrote the two recent Trek movies, but also a lot of other shows and movies that tend to be sloppy nonsense. He kind of represents everything I hate about the current state of Hollywood.
