Best episode of Sleepy Hollow this season by far IMHO, even if it wasn't at all geared to my Ichabbie-shipping heart.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't know why this didn't occur to me before... I think Crane set the stage for whatever it is Pandora is doing by smuggling that tablet into Sleepy Hollow. Somehow it freed her or clued her in to the location for her tree portal or something.
Jenny's new destiny looks a little ominous.

You have a gift for understatement.

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: anyone else disappointed that no one, in either episode, came out with the line "Let Zygons be Zygons"?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
No.
I did like this episode better than the previous one, which was a pleasant change from the pattern of the second half falling flat after a good beginning.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Dresden Files
It took me a while to get used to the TV show but I ended up really liking it. Bob was totally different, but, as Kalshane said, he works on the show. It was canceled right as it started to reach its potential. I'd recommend giving it another try, Tep.
Doctor Who
Holy shit, Peter Capaldi. I was almost teary.

The only one that really fell down, I thought, was Before the Flood. The others did let the first half down somewhat, but still had something worthwhile. But yes, this one was excellent. I loved what they did with the Osgood box. It felt like a mix of the two writers. Moffat loves his puzzles and twists, and judging by Kill the Moon, Harness likes his big emotional scenes. (And this is no doubt YMMV, but I thought the point it made about the nature of war was pretty valid, and not entirely obvious. I'm currently reading Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of our Nature, and he makes a similar point when discussing the distribution of the duration and intensity of wars.)
Holy shit, Peter Capaldi. I was almost teary.
Seriously though. I think I still rank his "You betrayed me" scene with Clara in Dark Water more highly, but that's about the only one.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I thought his big speech was well written and he acted the hell out of it. He broke and rebroke my heart several times during it.

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.
Supergirl
The dialogue was a lot less clunky this week and I enjoyed the episode as a whole, but Kara getting mad at Jimmy for calling in Supes and saving her life seemed really odd after last week's episode being all about being able to depend on others is a good thing. I mean, I understand she was angry about Cat's article and is trying to get out of her cousin's shadow, but Jimmy doesn't make that call and she's dead.
ETA: Her reaction would have been far more understandable had she merely been on the ropes and then Superman showed up and got in the way.
