An actor can only do so much with the writing and directing, but I like everyone enough that I will keep watching.
I would be there right now.

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.

What quester said. I'm still watching, but I yell at them more and more.
And I miss Rory.

Man, has anyone else been watching The 100? Soothing television it isn't, but it's chock full of ethical dilemmas and tortured loyalties. I just caught the last two episodes, and I am trying to figure out if the show actually thinks they can now redeem Bellamy. His participation in a betrayal and massacre of 300 people is pretty damned hard to come back from.
OTOH, the reveal at the end of the episode is beginning to tie the whole AI storyline much more tightly into the Grounder-politics storyline in a really cool way.

The 100 confuses me. But I'm still watching.

The 100 has become one of my must watch shows! I don't know how they do it every week.
What kills me about that massacre is those 300 were there TO PROTECT them! Oh, but he saved Indra, so it's all good. (sarcastic voice). And they were willing to slaughter an entire village?!
This show is merciless. I'm glad I gave it a second chance. I initially quit early on because of the "teen love triangle", but I kept hearing great things so I gave it another chance.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm watching last week's LoT, and despite my love for Captain Cold, I think I'm over it. I want to like it, but it's just...meh.
And is there no shower on the ship? Sarah's hair is NASTY.

Though I like the payoff to the reference in S1 and S2 to Slade Wilson's son. Also, I love that Connor Hawke is Diggle's son.

When she's not in "uniform", it seems fine. But when she suits up, rather than give her a ponytail or bun - much more sensible for a person expecting action - they put some guck in it and just semi-slick back the front. I hate it.

Yeap. This is where I am. I thought a future-ep with Oliver cameo might kick my interest up a notch, but my attention kept wandering. Frankly, I cannot keep up with 4 DC superhero shows -- it's way too much. While the writing for Supergirl can be often incredibly clunky, it's at least focused on one lead and is keeping my interests.
I was freakin' RELIEVED that there was no Flash or Arrow this week because seriously, I cannot keep up with so much TV, yo. Honestly, I am way less fannish about those two shows compared to last season, even. Which makes me a bit sad, but eh. It is what it is.

I KNOW. And yet, I could totally see that. I mean, think about post-9/11, when we went to war with a country that had NOTHING to do with the attacks, merely because our leaders wanted it. And because they lied about it and played on our fears. I suspect that's what the writers are thinking about: Pike may be honest, but he's also taking advantage of the Arkers' fear of the Grounders to shore up his own position.
Also, the more people he gets involved in these heinous crimes, the more tightly he binds them to him. Now that Bellamy's involved, it's going to be really hard for anyone to get him loose: he has to cling to Pike to protect his own self-worth (inasmuch as he has any).
This week is going to be interesting.
