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.
What...the hell? So they ARE doing all white folks? Here comes the wank.
PC speaks for me.

As to the headline - I can understand why you found it confusing, but I certainly don't think the headline contradicts the content of the article.
It's a gay UK news site; the issue of homophobic bullying in schools, and the fact that said issue has been recognised and is actually being acted upon, is something the readership with which will be intimately familiar. It's a pretty damn big deal, since when I was in the UK and spending time in schools, Section 28 was actively undermining one's wish as a teacher to have zero tolerance of homophobic bullying in schools. So the phrase 'homophobic bullying', and quite possibly an awareness of the campaign in question, would be failiar to the readership - the news part is that Barrowman has been made its posterboy.
Which is to say - yes, more words in the title would have created greater clarity and prevented
you
from being misled, but within the context of its readership, I don't think the language was inappropriate or misleading; Headlines usually are abbreviated in such a way as to make sense
to their readerships
based upon an anticipated level of contextual knowledge, whether that pertains to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, or the Falkands War, or gay rights. I guess it's a bit of a Shibboleth, but I think that's the nature of headlines.
Oh FUCK no. My local ABC affiliate just pre-empted Pushing Daisies for a Razorback basketball game. And people here in Jonesboro hate UALR.
Aw, crap, Matt. It wasn't as good as last week's but still worth looking up on the net and all.
So was that the last of the PD episodes? There wasn't a preview, but I wasn't sure if that was because of the holidays or because it's *sniff* done.
No, there are more -- 4 more? Last word I heard was that they're going to be broadcast, but it's a good question as to WHEN.
No there are more. Don't we get one next week?
I thought my tivo said we did.
Emerson Cod and Olive Snook should work together ALL the time. "itty bitty"
Hee.
I also LOVED the rain slickers that Olive came up with! Olives on hers, pies on Ned's, and fish on Emerson's. (Now I wonder what she'd have found for Chuck....)
"Itty bitty" was fabulously cute.

I KNOW!! Even though PD is going away, I'd be happy with just an Olive/Emerson spinoff. He's a cranky PI with a knitting fetish and a secret past, she's the ex-jockey pie waitress who could fit in his pocket - they fight crime!
Ugh, I will miss this show so very much. It's such a treat for me to watch. I wish Ned's brothers would be more present, though.
