Once Upon a Time: Making hell a twisted version of Storybooke seems like a good move in terms of saving money on set design and construction.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
OUAT: But I suspect that negotiations with some actors (playing deceased characters) may have been rather involved.

I spent most of last night's episode not trusting the Meg character just because of who was playing her.

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:
Red Kryptonite already? I worry they're going to burn through all the iconic stuff too early. Still, I really enjoyed the episode. Melissa Benoist was awesome, as usual. She sold being a very different and darker Kara without going over into camp.

I'm never not impressed by Melissa Benoist.
And I was not expecting that with Hank!!

Yeah. On one hand, this hopefully will eventuslly open the door to him operating openly as Martian Manhunter, but it's going to suck for him in interim.
I will say that one thing that occurred to me this morning (but didn't think about when I was watching) is I'm surprised they went with the "evil is more sexual" trope on the show. It seems counter to their usual objectives.

I didn't really see it as more sexual, per se. More confident, yes. While Kara did dress in a bit more glamorous attire, it wasn't exceptionally revealing or anything. And her going after James was a bit hands-y but not over-the-top.
And from Jon's link:
i am a very different person with a very different world view than my employer on the 100
Whoooooooa, that's some shade, Javi. (But from what I've heard, the showrunner's response was not admirable, whereas Javi actually listened to everyone.)

Yeah, I suspect Javi argued against what they did and was overruled by JR. Doesn't give me a lot of hope for the show going forward...

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I just finished season 2 of The 100. I haven't seen season 3, though I am inevitably spoiled for the recent Big Thing.
Boy, this show is a lot like Farscape in spirit, isn't it? I love that they follow through on consequences, and so many of the decisions people have to make feature two terrible choices. (I mean, it hurts, but still.)
(Um, also, I'm kind of a Bellamy/Clarke shipper? Maybe?)
