'Serenity'
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.
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.
So ... did anyone else brave "Robin Hood" last night?
... whistles nonchalantly ...
It was ... yeah. They're totally off the rails now.
I have tivoed it but not watched it.

Wasn't it always been going that way?
I had heard that CRAXY ruled this season but I didn't realize it started in the first episode.
I realize that in the context of Eureka stupidity this hardly rates, but... "and MIT doesn't have a medical school therefore look, robotics instead!" There are something like 15 medical schools in Boston -- Harvard's not close enough? Sometimes I feel like people think MIT has its own state.
Er, also, I assumed that boyfriend-boy had hacked her results, but they never said that. Are we to assume she really was data-matched with robotics?
Not to mention that you don't necessarily go to the same school for college and med school. She could easily go to MIT for undergrad, then elsewhere for med school.
Plus I like how Eureka assumes she'd get into MIT. Cause, you know, there's not much competition.
Although I guess we're supposed to believe that going to "Tesla" automatically gets you in.

She not only goes there, doesn't she excel there?

That was my assumption, pretty much. But this:
"and MIT doesn't have a medical school therefore look, robotics instead!"
seems like the kind of statement that should get Poochie Jr automatically expelled from any logic courses he's taking.
This ep stretched scientific credulity in the service of some pretty ham-handed storytelling. I don't mind when the science is idiotic in service of a good narrative, but the ice metaphors going on this week had me banging my head against the couch.
