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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Since when can't they beam people up while shields are raised? They were able to beam nukes over to hive ships from inside a shielded Daedalus back in the Season 2 premiere!
I think that they discovered some way of getting past the Hive ship shield that made that move possible, but the Wraith found a way to compensate for it by S3.
I think. One of the IT guys at the office has had my S1-2 DVDs on loan since his baby was born, and the kid's walking now. So it's been a while since I saw those episodes.

No, I was referring to them having to lower their own shields to beam Sheppard and Ronon up from the planet. That was a new limitation they've not had before. And it would have been smart to, say, disable Michael's cruiser before doing that even lowering their defenses were necessary.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Michael also had access to a bunch of SGA tech for a while, so he could conceivably have adapted his shielding in the meantime -- it makes sense that a good foe will keep upping his defense and offense.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So uh, I guess I missed SGA last night? (Off to check Darla the Tivo...)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If that's the dad, where is he? Why is Teyla making seemingly unilateral naming decisions? Is this how the Athosians roll?

IIRC from last season, which I maybe don't, but I think as soon as she found out she was pregnant, she went to find him and that's when they found out that the main Athosian colony had gone missing, later to be found in Michael's "employ."
Plus, didn't they blow Michael's ship? I think he's pretty much an ex-Athosian now...

Did I miss the part last season where the rest of the Athosians got rescued? Or did the Dadaelus just blow them all up? And um...won't Teyla be kind of mad about that?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I was under the impression that Teyla promised Kanaan that her friends would help him get back to normal, so I was surprised to not see him at the end. I wonder what happened.

Thinking about Midnight some more, and I love all the Hitchcock/Twilight Zone vibes, and thinking how brilliant it was that I think that if Donna had been there, she could have saved the day with her stentorian voice.
Thinking about SGA and why I keep forgetting that it's Not. That. Show. is that sometimes, in brief glimpses, it IS. Which just makes it so hard not to expect more from it.
