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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Mark of the Rani! Not entirely sure if they forgot about him or 'forgot' about him.
My favourite behind-the-scenes tale comes from The Talons of Weng-Chiang. This one was set in Victorian London. The production team had scouted out a part of London that still looked the part for the location filming. They planned to do a shoot with a hansom cab rattling through the street one evening, and sent out notices to all the locals to say they'd need to have their cars off the street that night.
Come the night of the shoot, they all turn up and find one couple has left their expensive and completely anachronistic Porsche out in front of the house, and gone away for the weekend. As usual, there's no time to reschedule, so the director tells the unit manager to sort something out.
the unit manager racks his brains for a way to disguise this car with something period, and hits on an idea. And so, if you happen to watch this adventure, at one point you'll see a shot of a cab being driven past this car - covered with a tarp, and then completely buried under a 6 foot high pile of period-friendly manure.
And that is why you should never ignore letters from the BBC.
The BBC does not mess around!
billytea, I wondered about that ... I remember a lot of, um, not very flattering comments about him and wondered if the crew had felt the same way.
If that had happened to my car I'd have been delivering any residual manure to the BBC offices with bonus lighter fluid and matches.
CW is bringing Constantine back as an animated web series: [link]
A few years back, they were going to take off the surface of the road in front of my building (and put a new one back). Several weeks in advance, they started sending people notices. Put signs up. There were notices in the paper. The day they started, of course, there was ONE car on the entire street. The road crew were merciful (maybe) and didn't have the car towed. However, when they were done, the car sat on the only dilapidated bit of pavement for about three blocks and was covered with a thick layer of dust from the road grinding.

The Magicians, Syfy's whimsical drama, is 2017's answer to Buffy the Vampire Slayer
But The Magicians excels because it never forgets that high dramatic stakes only work when they're rooted in believable emotional stakes. Buffy struck this balance beautifully in a way that many of its imitators struggled to replicate, but that The Magicians seems to understand.
...
In season two, The Magicians is darker, deeper, and just plain better than it was in season one, and it makes a claim for being one of the most unexpectedly great shows on television.
Just binged season one and loved it. Looking forward to season two.
I'm guessing the lack of talk means everyone else was as "meh" about the new Supergirl and Flash episodes as I was?
