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, but the thing is, there are SO MANY MANY MANY totally contradictory versions of the stories.
true, but there tends to be some consistencies, and this has none except all of the characters in one place.
I found the colourblind casting admirable but very distracting, initially, but then I went with (a) there would be a fair few biracial Britons after the Romans buggered off (although probably not quite this many, and not in such a range of social roles, maybe?) and (b) it's not set in any real historical period or in Britain, really. Which worked for me, bur I grok that your suspension of disbelief may vary.
Ha! I tend to be so happy that actors of color are working that I let it go completely.
Barroman not happy about BBC treatment of Torchwood:

So I just got spoiled as to what went down in the
Smallville
finale from the Tubey Awards. It was partly what I suspected, but...WTF? Oh, show. Why are you still on?
I don't think spoiled is the right word, P-C, since the finale aired a long time ago. You just found out what happened in it.
They killed off Jimmy Fucking Olsen!

There needs to be another word for personal spoilage, then. Because I use "spoil" for any spoiler regardless of whether the thing has aired or not.

But apparently he wasn't actually Jimmy Olsen? Or something?
I think that his little cousin will grow up to be canonic Jimmy Olson.
I thought it was his brother. A relative, regardless, will be the real deal. I wonder how long ago they thought that one up.
Ahead of Torchwood Week on BBC1 (starting Monday), Radio 4 are airing a couple of dramas over the next few days.
The first one is here:
