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.
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?
I'm watching The Flash right now and thinking that Barry seriously has to stop time-traveling. He's really bad at it.
I liked them both. I was just waiting for someone else to start the conversation. Yay, Barry for actually talking to your loved ones! Boo on not telling Joe because that will probably bite them in the ass. I still think Kid Flash is going to die.
Super girl was fun, but I still really miss Calista Flockhart, and I miss Supergirl working with her friends.
I tuned in to Supergirl just in time to catch Kara and James pitching their smugly boastful stories about who did the more impressive heroing and decided I'd had it with this season. I hope CatCo's news division goes down in flames.
The Librarians: The resolution of Apep was a cop-out. If a main character is going to spend several episodes emphasizing that he's going to have to die to defeat a Big Bad, there needs to be a sacrifice with some emotional resonance. I'd have settled for the general somehow getting pulled in as a sort of penalty for her stupidity in releasing Apep.
On the other hand, the last shot was truly laugh-out-loud funny.
Oh, that's too bad. I haven't seen the latest ep of The Librarians but I was really hoping that Flynn would die, because I find him (and Noah Wyle's portrayal of him) insufferable. I like everyone else on the show! It's just that whenever Flynn shows up, my fist itches with an impulse to punch his smug face in. Which also makes Eve/Flynn difficult to stomach because maaaan, she could do so much better.
Yeah, it was a cop out. And then using magic to save the day and immediately deciding never to use it again made no sense. I also find NW insufferable.
Baird/Stone ftw! If only in my mind.
