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.

I'm watching the 3rd Librarian movie this morning. It has Stana Katic with a terrible French accent.

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

I loved the first Librarian movie, it was supposed to be campy and silly. The second and third were sillier and less fun but I still liked them. The series is quite well done and just bananas in terms of throwing everything into the sink including the sink.

I've fallen out of love with Noah Wylie but I still like Flynn (his character), so that's annoying.

They should have given up after the first Librarian movie, since nothing ever can top the Bob Newhart fight scene.

I love the series.

Kevin Smith. Huh.

Apparently Kevin Smith saw Guardians of the Galaxy.

Damn if that wasn't the best episode of the season. And damn if Kevin Smith isn't wasting his time making really shitty movies.

Really? I was underwhelmed. (Though I agree with you about his movies.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Kevin Smith is a HUGE The Flash fanboy. I listened to his Fatman in Batman podcast after he mainlined S1 and he was pretty ga-ga over it. They even had Andrew Kreisberg over for an hour+ interview about his career (which I found quite interesting to listen to).

I thought this episode had some nice affecting bits. The Speed Force people reminded me of the Prophets from Deep Space Nine more than anything. Well, OK, they were way nicer than the Prophets, who were a bunch of cryptic assholes.

Iris was excellent in this throughout. I thought this might have been the best writing Iris has gotten since the beginning of the show, honestly (which sadly isn't saying much). I loved those little sarcastic banters between Iris and Cisco (seriously, Cisco = made of magic) and the scene with Joe, Wally and Iris at Allen home made me laugh and laugh. I usually don't have much time for Barry/Iris (mostly because the romance if often so badly written), but I even bought those moments between the two at the end.

YES. I'm not entirely sure what a "cinnamon roll" is in fannish parlance (wow, was that a stodgy old coot statement or what? you kids, with your fandoms and your lingo and onions on your belts!), but I think he might be one?

I still think Barry and Iris have zero chemistry, but I don't actively dislike Iris anymore, so that's a plus.
