Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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.

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.

So I'm guessing you're not overly fond of S.A.R.A.H. either?

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.

It would explain the mysterious liquid.

I see what you mean. She's still eye-rolly. How is Mme. Eye-roll Hatchetwoman for a designation, then? Frankly I think there are enough stories in Eureka, even if they do end up as monster-of-the-week, without needing to have a Big Bad into the bargain.

Also, have I mentioned how glad I was to see the show again, after the months of anticipation? Henry... I hope for the mercy of the court.

Yes - want Henry back in a big way. I also hope he finds a way to be happy again. Maybe he and Jo can hook up after Zane suffers a gratuitously painful death.

The crates they were bringing in had the Degree logo on the side.

I personally enjoyed the meta, in a really weird way.

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

I think that "Poochie" refers to a specific type of new character - supposed to be "hip", in order to interest the youngsters. I was particlarly annoyed by Poochie because his presence seems to indicate that the network doesn't think that they have hotties on the show already. WHATEV!!!!!

Government!Chick is a different animal.

I have to say, that I'm a little tired of the constant conspiracy thing. There doesn't NEED to be a backstory or throughline for this show.

Also, Carter is bummed about Alison and Stark, but there's nothing that says that this didn't happen in the other life, and then one of them broke it off. (besides Carter and Stark are WAY hotter together :) )
