Okay, I am firing Supergirl. I am tired of the whining. I basically only like James Olsen and Jon J'onzz. And not just because they're black. But sometimes, they whine, too.
Giles: Helping out with the dishes makes me feel useful. Dawn: Wanna clean out the garage with us
Saturday? You could feel indispensable.

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.
That X-Files was creepy, gross, and... touching. If we don't see William by the end of this, that means they have to come back for another mini-series or movie, right?
Now I need to call my mom.

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:
I felt Alex's pleas were over-wrought, but Kara saying goodbye to Krypton was heart-breaking.
Overall I was disappointed in the episode. If you're going to copy one of the all-time great Superman stories, you've got a hell of an uphilll climb and I don't think the writers were up to it.
It didn't help that the stuff that wasn't copying For the Man Who Has Everything wasn't very compelling. J'onn as Kara wasn't nearly as fun as J'onn as Lord (though I do think Melissa Benoist did a great job with what she was given. She nailed Hank's delivery.)
The little scene in Kara's apartment at the end was nice, though.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Ooh. Interesting choice. While Hannibal got a bit Too Much for me after a while, there is no denying he's a show-runner with unique POV. I'd forgotten that he'd worked on Voyager.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I just watched last week's Legends of Tomorrow. The Mr. Blake guy really distracted me. I knew I had seen him somewhere before, so I hit up IMDB. Turns out he was on 90210, as Joe Bradley, the virgin quarterback who was Donna's boyfriend. And from that point on I couldn't take him seriously.
I'm still not totally loving this show, though Captain Cold is my jam.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'd like to see you try to keep track of every single detail after coming back from the dead...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

“Bryan is not only an extremely gifted writer, but a genuine fan of Star Trek,” Stapf said. “Having someone at the helm with his gravitas who also understands and appreciates the significance of the franchise and the worldwide fan base was essential to us.”
Fucking yes, please, and thank you. Let Abrams go play with Star Wars and stay away from Trek.

The problem is that it's looking as though the series will probably be set in the rebooted universe.
