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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, Sleepy Hollow just went full-on Gift.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
That episode actually combined several Buffy episodes (or, you know, leaned heavily in their direction): Anubis reminded me of nothing so much as the Judge; despite that, I got an early Drusilla/Spike vibe from Pandora and Anubis (though Pandora is FAR less crazy than Drusilla); and, yeah, totally The Gift at the end.
I hope Abbie doesn't come back wrong.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
omg, I've been tracking this thread watching Arrow from Season One (and also the Flash once it went on Netflix) reading a little at a time, with every episode and NOW I'M TOTALLY CAUGHT UP!
Oh, thanks for making me sound smarter than I am by using your theories to impress Tom.
Three things: 1) My God, I still hate Laurel. 2) OMG Harrison Wells is awesome in every universe and 3) Cisco is my heart and ALL MY LOVE.

TRUTH.
Cisco is my heart and ALL MY LOVE.
He annoyed me at first, and now I have nothing but heart-eyes for him.

Tom and I have incorporated "The other Doctor Wells was evil but you're just a dick," into our everyday lexicon.
OMG, Harry and Crisco 4EVA!

hey, so what's up with that crazy angel Cisco keeps seeing? Is his new GF a meta or, like, celestial?

She's Hawkgirl, who has had a weird complicated backstory in the comics. (Seriously, it involves reincarnation and another planet and shit.) I'm hoping the TV version has a simpler backstory.
So as of yet, we don't know if she's a meta or what.

Yep. I mostly enjoyed it, though I called what was going to happen--my only question was which Witness ended up in the underworld, and my money was on Abbie. I even, pretty much, fanficced the thing, only my version was much shippier 'cuz that's how I roll. Still, it's weird to write something like that and NOT have it be immediately joss'ed.

Also, if Abbie and Crane are part of a long line of Witnesses, and it's not the two-and-only Witnesses from the (even more loosely interpreted than the craziest real life speculation) Book of Revelation, but more "into every generation two Witnesses are born"...then what happened to the other Witnesses actually born ~1750 and ~1980 they should've been paired with? I kinda want to write THAT story now.
