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.

The team enters a club in Chicago. As they walk in, a big banner says "70's night", and the band is playing Croce's "You Don't Mess Around With Jim", everyone turns and stares

Man at Bar: I know you
Woman at Bar: Dsukha, everyone knows them.
Atom (flattered) you've heard of us?
Woman at Bar: The Superheroes who never get anything right? The Legion of Incompetents? Darling Sushkas, you are legends!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I wonder how many takes they did with that glitter bomb before Amell could keep a straight face.

Una, I'm fairly certain that the glitter was added in post.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Are we discussing Lucifer in here? Because it's not great, bu D.B. Woodside in a sleeveless long coat as a pissed-off angel is giving me life. [link]

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

I'm enjoying Lucifer 100%, I feel no shame. It's the only show I can think of that I've enjoyed, with a main character that was completely annoying and not attractive to me at all. It's like if Spike got his own show but I didn't much like Spike but I did like the show. I feel for Chloe's exasperation with his utter selfishness and coy, deliberate childishness. Lucifer has had some moments of emotional vulnerability that are making him interesting, though. Like last night with the scars from his wings and that bit of backstory. I wonder where they're going with this. I've never read the comic it's loosely based on, and I think I won't until it's over. It probably won't get a second season anyway.

I'd love to see Constantine wander into this show.

Lucifer is fun. Old Nick & Nora. Really no relation to comic other than using its brand. Show and comic contain almost no spoilers for each other.

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

I'm still on the fence about Lucifer, I have the feeling it's going to disappoint me eventually, but D.B. Woodside is always a treat.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm finding Lucifer entertaining. And I love that Chloe's daughter ADORES him.

That is a cute running gag.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I like the show, but I dislike the female lead. Which may be a holdover from her character on Hawaii Five-0 that I disliked. I also really just don't believe her as a "hard-assed police officer"
