Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
As long as the talk show host is a robot and they're cooking Arcturian megadonkey, I don't see a problem.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Why, SwhyFwhy, why? I thought you loved me! You told me you did. You swore that dalliance with the wrestlers was just a freak thing. You said you would always be there for me, with spaceships and explosions and giant although ultimately disappointing cephalopods. What, you want me to be more like the office worker next door? I can change! I'll wear pearls while I vacuum! Just don't stop bringing me spinning police boxes and mysterious underground cities with endearing sheriffs!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From Zap2It.com about Vampire Diaries:
It's a hard sell -- another vampire property? But then executive producer Julie Ples won me over by invoking Jordan Catalano and Dylan McKay -- and promising her bad boys actually have the depth and soul that those guys promised, but didn't deliver. Plus, she squealed with glee at the mention of "The Lost Boys." How can you not love that?
By having seen the trailers I can not love that. It looks like Twilight meets 90210--the reboot. Don't toss around Jordan Catalano's name casually.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
so, I saw a commercial for "Alice" which is done by the makers of "Tin Man." "Alice" is coming out in December - perhaps timed to come before the Johnny Depp movie. I saw all three parts of "Tin Man" and that shit DRAGGED. Just about the only thing that captured my attention was the flying monkeys that started out as tattoos on the Witch and lept from her bosom when commanded. That was super cool and way over the top, but not worth 6-8 hours of pain.

Okay, THAT may get me to watch the first couple of episodes. Because I'm re-reading the first book of The Vampire Diaries, and just as I remembered, it's okay but nothing special.

I just watched the Being Human original pilot, and I am having a hard time telling if it's the primacy effect or what, but I really do prefer "our" Mitchell and Annie. I think both Mitchells look like they'd have been out of place when they were turned, but ours looks darker inside.
And I hate the pitch of the original Annie's voice. Listening to her freak out (if her arc had been the same, which it doesn't quite seem like it would, since she was out at the bar in the first ep) would have been wholly irritating.
Russell Tovey just rocks. I think the Herrick we got was a good Herrick, but losing Adrian Lester? Damn. He was a silky smooth man of evil. The Herrick of the series was more petty nasty.

oh, man! I would have LOVED him as Herrick. Probably would have changed my feelings about Herrick considerably. I first saw our Herrick as the fumbling psychologist on Vivienne Vyle, so it was a bit of an adjustment.
