Xena Reboot Series to Turn Implied Homoerotic Undertones into Glorious Homoerotic Overtones
(note: also mentions the Lexa kerfuffle)
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
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?)

The guy they've got doing Hades on OuaT is doing a pretty good combination of smooth and menacing. Now if they'd just fercrissakes stop setting his hair on fire!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

See, in my head, he's still the character he played on Ally McBeal, with a slight detour to Raising Hope. I get no menace from him.
Now if they'd just fercrissakes stop setting his hair on fire!
But they have to. In the cartoon version his hair was on perpetual fire, so they gotta call back to it.

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:
So J'onn and Alex on the run. Could be interesting.
I am amused that every DC show uses "Project Cadmus" as the name of whatever nefarious organization they need.
No clue why Siobahn thought doing the secret email thing at CatCo was going to work out any better the second time. Though now she apparently has superpowers. Not sure how super-screams are going to help her with her next email-related misdeed, though.
Woo, Flash next week!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Flash is back tomorrow.

Well, yes, but he's on Supergirl next week. I'm actually really looking forward to the crossover.

Wow, I completely missed your context. Sheesh. Definitely time to go to bed!
