I saw the first episode of Eli Stone, and it made me angry on a surprising number of levels. It seemed like a Hallmark TV movie written by Deepak Chopra.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

The second episode -- and I hope I'm not spoiling anything here -- taught me that illegal immigration is a complex issue.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
illegal immigration is a complex issue.
Crap. Does that mean I have to pay attention to something other than hairstyles this election?

Well Romney (aka Guy Smiley) dropping out took THE HAIR out of the election, so there's less of that pay attention to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
illegal immigration is a complex issue.
Hell, Phil Collins taught us that years ago when he sang, "It's no fun being an illegal alien."

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Well, since no one's talking about "Smallville," let me just say that the Black Canary? Royally sucked. I mean OH MY GOD bad.
But any episode with Green Arrow's got something going for it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw a trailer for the Black Canary episode, and it brought pain.

I only saw a picture, and couldn't watch it. I watched Ghost Rider instead, which was probably just as bad.

It's funny. I mean, she was TERRIBLE, and the make up job was even worse. But on the whole it wasn't a bad episode.
Also, Lex firing two pistols at once, which was pretty bad-ass.

HMOG, the makeup was dreadful!
