I like that Zoe working at CD means we'll see more Vince!
Me too. Love Vince! Maybe because I have fond memories of Nightshifter, but I like to think I adore Vince for his own character.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

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.

Cool, I just heard a promo for SCC. It would have been cooler to see, but I was in the other room. Dang it.

I guess I'm just missing the gene that makes anthopomorphized machinery seem cute
So I'm guessing you're not overly fond of S.A.R.A.H. either?

I love Martha and Zoe! She's Zoe's new invisible robot friend!
I had a bit of K-9 deja vu when Zoe helped Martha charge up while they were in the freezer.
Loved the all singing, all dancing, musical intro.
I wanted to give Jamie the benefit of the doubt but I'm just not buying the Degree sponsorship. How do you gain advertising mindshare if you're sponsoring a company that is classified? In its fictional context there is no upside there for Degree.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Companies often sponsor gov't agencies/events in order to gain an in with the government. Could be Degree has some patents out there that need pushing through or they are having EPA problems that need to go away or they want the geniuses at GD to develop a new product for them.
Sponsorships aren't always about wide market mindshare. In fact, most of them (percentage-wise, not money-wise) aren't. They're usually targeted to very niche audiences.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I definitely like Martha better than I like Poochie the Corporate Axewoman. I hope there is more cute dry cleaner (or substitute) action than Allyson pining.

Poochie the Corporate Axewoman
Poochie isn't the Corporate Axewoman, he's the asshat that Jo is dating.
eta, he was nowhere near as much an asshat in this episode, so I'm willing to give the writers a chance to make the character work. However, all the interactions with Jo were background detail, so I'm really still judging based on last season.
And I still want some followup to Jo's dream about Fargo. And I hope that Matt Frewer will be back, stupid accent and all.
And a penguin.

In my view, there are two Poochies. Hence the need for specifying which I meant.

Not particularly. Though if it went on another killing spree and distintegrated Zane, there might be room for affection.

Frances Fisher is so NOT a Poochie, whether her character turns out to be interesting or not.
If she's anything, she's the equivalent of all those recurring antagonists that made House such a drag to watch at times (David Morse, Chi McBride, etc.), but not a Poochie.
