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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Perhaps my negative reaction to the storyline in CoE comes from the feeling that CoE was lecturing the viewers about evil and its banality. This is not a unique message, nor anything I am personally a stranger to.
De-lurking to say that while I didn't have a problem with the idea of Jack sacrificing his grandson – I also felt while watching the last episode of CoE that I was being lectured to. It felt like RTD had an idea and he was trying like mad to force events to conform to that idea, instead of thinking through what would actually happen.
Very little in the last episode felt natural to me. Watching that last part all I could think of was how slowly they were delaying the "Jack saves the day moment" and when it finally happened I realized that all those delays were so that there would be no time for Jack to have any other options besides killing his grandson - and it shouldn't be that obvious. The ideas weren’t naturally embedded in the story. I really liked the first four episodes, but the last one didn’t live up to the rest
le nubian, I hope you can rejoin the general conversation here at some point, because I always find your contribution interesting. For me, this particular discussion has been useful for figuring out MY reaction and why it was different than others'.
Holy crap, everything getting released on DVD today!
I got
Pushing Daisies
2nd season on Sunday, btw. I guess it's time to delete the episodes from my DVRs.
I was under the impression that after the combined Companions adventure on Dr. Who, that Mickey and Martha would be joining the team, so this gutting of the team was doubly shocking for me.
Yeah, they were saying the actors weren't available, but I can't help but wonder if they didn't purposely delay their arrival to tell the darker story, letting a familiar face or two join in season four might lighten the mood some.
Yeah, everything is out today. . . . and I cannot afford any of it yet.
Le Nubian, hope I did not come off as lecturing. I think the key difference in your reaction is one that probably says nothing, but if it say an anything says something good about you. You did not let yourself be manipulated emotionally into complicity which was the means by which COE told its story.
For the fans of Arthur and Merlin:
Brokeback Camelot

None of the stores I went to had
The Middleman
