Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had hoped to see Mickey there.

Yeah, I was hoping, too. Still, looks like a kick ass episode.

How long did Chloe not know Clark had powers? After she had her memories messed with and partially restored, how long did it take for her to find out again about his special talents?

All is well that ends in pizza.

IIRC, three, maybe 4 eps, ita.

ita, I believe that was originally planned but the actor then withdrew because of other commitments . Same goes for Freema, incidentally.

What I want to know is: is Peter Capaldi playing Malcolm Tucker? 'Cos that would up the swearword count to significantly post-watershed .

TVShowsondvd is reporting that the dvd of the Caprica pilot is going to be available April 21st - suggesting that the pilot will be aired before that time.

Interesting.

Smallville: I wish that Clark had given up Lana without extremely stupid green rock intervention. For example, why was there no way for somebody who wasn't Clark to defuse the bomb? Absorbing the kryptonite was the most ridiculous solution to that problem.

But thank goodness Lana is gone.

Lex Luthor dies more than Apothis.
