Pretty much every scene had me saying "oh, god!!" at the end of it.
I can't really think now though. You people talk and say smart things.
Spike: Taking up smoking, are you? Harmony: I am a villain, Spike. Hello!

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 would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I have to say, I am just in awe of the job Peter Capaldi (Frobisher) did. What a magnificent piece of acting in all five episodes.
When Bridget was telling Lois that, "you wouldn't know it now, but he used to be an awkward young man" (something like that) I was thinking back to the first time I saw him in Local Hero. Yes! He was quite gangly in his younger days. /crush on Danny Oldsen
No, it really doesn't close.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I'm having to rewatch since the storm knocked out my satellite and I just got to the scene where Frobisher went home to his family, with the gun. OMG!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I hope you have anti-depressants and whiskey on hand, quester. I had neither!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How about the reveal that they're using the kids for drugs? That all this is about a fix? Made it all so skeevy and street corner.
Frobisher did what he had to do, given the information and resources he had at the time, poor man. Brilliantly played by Capaldi.
And the guy who played Dekker was icky when he came up with the solution that would kill Stephen. He looked too smug.

Yeah, Decker is scum. I did get to see the very end, so I know what's going on with Briget, the way she looks at the Prime Minister - chilly!
Oh my god, the way Jack's daughter was looking at him with such pride until she realized what he was going to do.

Oh that was grim.
This is worse than Wash's death and I cried like a baby in the theatre over that.
I think I hate RTD.

My sister is hoping people throw cream pies at him at Comic Con. He's put people off Sarah Jane adventures. Which makes me feel quite middle of the road reasonable.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Torchwood was just ugly. I loved Ianto's brother-in-law, though. And I totally pegged him for fighting off the coppers and army to protect all those kids, when push came to shove.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Didn't he actually SAY "that kid'll fry"? My stomach actually heaved a couple of times. That was one.
That whole thing was incredible.
