It's taken me 2.5 hours to watch the first Black Mirror. What a very odd show. There's no cause and effect there, just my observations at this point.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.
Giles ,'Chosen'
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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The other episodes aren't necessarily less odd, but they are certainly easier to watch.

I"m on the third one now. i'm finding it pretty easy to pause and come back to, that's something.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We watched Captain America tonight, and it's a testament to Neal McDonough's acting that I could only see Damien Darhk, not Dum Dum Dugan. (Or, as I said to Tim, "Great, now Dum Dum Dugan creeps me out.")

I somehow just found out about the 2013 FedCon, where John Barrowman apparently picked Ben Browder as the target for a game of "shock the straight Southern boy." It did not turn out as planned. [link] [link]

The moral of this story is don't try to publicly embarrass the guy who's been molested by a Muppet in bondage gear on national television. [link]

The Librarians: a lot to like in this one, too. I did glimpse a blue box and a Delorean (with appropriate musical references) unser some of those sheets, yes?
Yes, loved that!

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
Kind of annoyed they weaseled out of Cat knowing Kara's secret, though I had a feeling they were going to do what they did as soon as J'onn was captured and Kara continued to pretend she wasn't Supergirl with Cat.
How have that many Kryptonians (there were at least a dozen in that final scene) not just flat-out taken over the Earth by now?

Yeah, even at Man of Steel power levels rather than Donner movie lift-the-San-Andreas-Fault-to-avert-giant-earthquake ones, multiple Kryptonians who can run interference for each other would be able to overwhelm just about any military on the planet.

I don't know why that doesn't bother me, but the Cat backtrack really does.
OTOH, there was something kind of great about J'onn's performance.

The boss being obsessed about a super hero's secret identity and going all Nancy Drew to prove it's one of their employees (even if correct) really rubs me the wrong way. It's not an organic dramatic situation at all.
