Oh, no, please not that.
I mean, I suppose it might be possible to do in a thought-provoking and not stab-my-eyeballs way but Do Not Want
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.

yikes
I mean, in the original Clark was in league with the Shadows, became President under questionable circumstances, and shepherded in an era of authoritarianism/fascism and xenophobia. He was just competent and mostly unseen rather than a spotlight-chasing buffoon.
It's less the space Trumps that concern me - agreed that we already had that with President Clark - it's how the divisions within are handled that worry me: now as red/blue; mask/anti-mask; etc. I'm not seeing much in the way of "the better angels of our nature" in the world today and wonder how that will play out in space. JMS had that conflict in the original, but the good guys always won. I'm less confident of that now.
Well, it turns out that Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman have started a new series; on Wednesdays. I checked them out and wasn't all that impressed.
Riverdale is kind of back ... started yesterday as Rivervale and it's quite dark and things don't seem to be going especially well for most of the crew. It's narrated by a fairly grown up Jughead.
Is anyone watching Astrid & Lilly Save the World on Syfy? It’s kind of cheesy, but in a fun way. And there have definitely been several Buffy references.
Especially the most recent episode which has people dealing with their worst fears and so far features a psychotic clown and a dodgeball game.
I've got a couple of eps on my DVR. The ads caught my attention so I started recording, but haven't watched any yet. Glad to hear a rec.
This week's Buffy reference on Astrid and Lilly Save the World, "gas leaks". They totally explain why everyone is hallucinating their worst nightmares.
Would Around the World in 80 Days go here? It’s on Masterpiece/PBS, and it stars David Tennant. It’s based on a Jules Verne novel, so arguably SF. Very into the Amazing Possibilities of Technology (1800s flavor).
