'War Stories'
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.
I wish now that it had been cancelled after S1 because it never lived up to it's potential after that.
Yeah. I wanted S2 to be good, and it was disappointing (though I loved the episodes where Abbie went back in time). And S3 has just been weird.
you turned the heroine of your show into a Magical Negro/Mammy trope?
That's even worse than just killing her. Good Lord. I may not watch the remaining episodes after all.
Which...you turned the heroine of your show into a Magical Negro/Mammy trope?
Yeah, that's just a world of wrong, but I always saw it as Abby's show with Crane as her sidekick.
I haven't seen the last two eps of SH, and I don't know if I'll bother. I don't understand how the showrunners can't see what worked so well in the show in S. 1, because they mostly seemed to undermine it in S. 2 & 3.
Yeah, I won't bother catching up with Sleepy Hollow. What a colossal misunderstanding of what made the show good in the first place.
If I were farther behind, I wouldn't bother watching, but it's the only ep on my Tivo, so, well, completeness.
I respect Beharie's desire to leave the show, but damnit, there is NO SHOW WITHOUT ABBY MILLS.
I always saw it as Abby's show with Crane as her sidekick.
YES YES YES.
I need to stop spending my weekend dismally mourning a TV show, dammit! Especially given that I think it's entirely fair to call it nothing but a shadow of its Season 1 brilliance, AND to say that any number of fanfics, including mine, stayed truer to the characters and premise and therefore deserve to be my headcanon rather than what actually happened.
I did get in touch with my one friend that I was worried about, and we're exchanging grumpy texts about our sense of betrayal, so that makes me feel a bit better.
Another thing that made me see red was Abby and Jenny's father turning out to know about the supernatural. So despite knowing the true state of affairs, he let his wife rot in an asylum until she died and his daughters be placed in foster care.
Yep. It's just an inexplicable level of bad storytelling all around.

Wait, WHAT. Jesus, that is horrible. Nope, not gonna even finish the season.
I admit I'll probably go back and watch S1, because that was good stuff.
As far as I'm concerned, the good things this season were limited to Jenny and Joe becoming a couple, Pandora as the main antagonist, and Ichabod's new hairdo. (Tom Mison should keep that whether or not the show returns!)
