Windsparrow and I watched TW part one last night. Will likely watch more tonight or tomorrow.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.
'Potential'
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm totally with Fiona. (And, thanks Juliebird for directing me to DailyM!)
The handling of the 456, from beginning to end, has been a total cock-up . Maybe I'm so bewildered that I can't recall a worse series of decisions on this show, but I really can't.
The pathosy bits have been really powerful but the actual execution seems much more handwavey than usual. Even the mostridiculous situations in series 1&2 made SOME sort of sense. But not this time .
I suppose the overarching theme being the bitter wages of guilt makes its own sense but...feh .

Our wings are not tired.
So I should have held off on watching Day Four until I had Day Five in hand. I won't nitpick until I see it through. I'll just sit here quietly sobbing NOOOOOOOOOOOO !

Yeah, I hear you, Laura. I keep adding hours to my current time to see how long it's going to be until I get resolution.

Oh yeah, I know that routine too.

How could it NOT do well?
As distressed as I've been, I AM riveted. I really want a resolution I can feel good about.
I've just become uneasy about one thing though, based on the comment upthread about seeing the scientist guy we thought was dead on the 'next times'. I won't like it if the virus is just a knockout drug the 456 use to simulate the mass destruction they can't actually wreak. It would be a very Dallas kind of moment. Though, the we'll have the children NOW, timeline could be a ploy with all the splattery, banging about just being for show.
It might be kind of cool if the resolution was that the 456 figured they'd hoodwinked the stoopid humans once before, why not go for broke and run a big con. That would make the unscrutinized complicity of Frobisher and Co. even MORE odious.

They made a big deal out of the fact that they previously gave up the children. Really looking forward to the conclusion. I hope the numbers will help the possibility of much more Torchwood.

From your posting box to... whomever decides these things. I fell like Gwen has been particularly awesome in this run.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm dying for the resolution to TW and I'm not even watching the darn thing - I'm just reading the spoiler font! Glad I did, though.
