Best line of the night:
You should have told me. I can keep a secret.
(In unison) No, you can't.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That was good.

Arrowverse brings in John Constantine and the existence of magic though, which opens up the Kryptonians to a weakness that a lot more people can take advantage of.

True, and from there it's only a short hop, skip, and pratfall into a Mr. Mxyzptlk appearance.

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.
What for? It's not like they can actually hurt him (at least until they figure out the fire thing), and while he's there he can gather intel.
So the DEA doesn’t get blown up trying to rescue him or give up Astra. I mean, I agree that being captured helped him gather intel, but I don't know if it was worth the lives of those soldiers or Astra being freed.

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.
Well, they are trying to say that they are/were a resistance army and they have honor.
I thought it was interesting that Astra is the general, but none of the soldiers obeyed her order to stand down until her husband repeated it. Was that a handwave for narrative tension, or does she not control her people?

That struck me as odd as well.
ION, I had only the mildest interest in the Shannara TV series (never read the books) but it appears the male lead is played by the smarmy blond DJ/assassin from Arrow, which dropped my interest to zero. That and all the promo pics look terrible.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I watched the Shannara pilot out of loyalty to my 11 year-old self. It was pretty terrible.

Fortunately my 11 year-old self thought the first Shannara book was a cheap Tolkein ripoff, so I feel no urge to see how badly the SciFi Network can execute the story.
