Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

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.

Poochie was gone for 4 weeks and they chose to set NO epsiodes during that time? Oh, the humanity!
The ice-producing fungus reveal was where I cut my losses. Not even for Taggart's return, producers.

Eureka: It feels like somebody once explained physics to the writers, like when they were 8 or so, and they've been extrapolating on the vague memory of it ever since.

The worst part is that they don't even throw in a flobotanum mention that could save things from looking sooo stupid. Like that Zane's freezing apparatus also included some sort of dimensional hand-wavey thing that would account for the truck turning corners and such.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The arctic has not been continuously frozen for hundreds of millions of years.
Human existence would not take up only 18 inches of an ice core.
Since it's summer in Eureka during this episode, it's summer in the Arctic. An Arctic that each season gets closer to being ice free.
If they want an impressive ice core, take it from Antarctica.
Where'd the truck come from, and how did it get from the Arctic to eureka without being seen?

Our wings are not tired.
Enjoying Eureka and keeping in mind that it is science fiction. Fun stuff. Not so much with the sense making.
Also, watched Terminator 2 yesterday on Bravo and was delighted since I had completely forgotten that Joe Morton was in that movie.

But GDL! I would love to have gone to see him, but I would not trust the room.
Belatedly, I DID go to one of Gareth David-Lloyd's panels. He was adorable. He talked about Shakespeare and mocked Keanu Reeves and sang Tom Jones; the audience was an unfortunate but relatively minor irritation.
