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.

Just for that he deserves everything Lestat and Claudia put him through!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

While I was waiting for articles to edit today, I started binge-watching Interview With the Vampire, and it's just goddamn fantastic. Also, Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid are so fucking pretty.

So apparently my nephew is going to start watching Chuck with his godmother but only the first 2 seasons because (according to him) my brother said in the later seasons Chuck turns "perverted". Which I didn't watch Chuck all the way through so I have no idea but I have a feeling if there was something really out there then I would have remembered it just because it's controversial.

Was there something weird/bad about the later seasons of Chuck ?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

There was a bit of a tone shift when Chuck got an "upgrade" to make him less of an endearing nerd and more of a superspy. I wouldn't call it "perverted".

Our wings are not tired.

What aurelia said. It wasn't as fun as the beginning seasons, but still entertaining.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I enjoyed Chuck all the way through but they definitely made some choices.

Aw, man, the whitefont rules are so quaint anymore -- what even is "aired" in this future world we live in?

Since sj's post reminded me, I'm half way it to watching the first ep of Wolfpack. I'm going to whitefont, because I honestly don't know...

So, if I were watching NOT because of SMG, I'd be mildly intrigued, but I probably wouldn't even have checked it out. Since I am watching for SMG, I was getting all "OK, we're half way in, all the beautiful young things are, indeed, beautiful, but... where's my girl?!?" Woman, now, of course. Anyway, she finally made her walk-on, yay! And now I begin watching in earnest...

Now I finish watching.

Big smile.

That could totally be the Slayer. I mean, that's no my expectation -- it is just nice to see SMG quipping through danger again. Yes, indeed.

I'll certainly give it a shot.

Anyone watch Gotham Knights?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I tried, but decided I didn't care about the characters about 20 minutes in.

I was kind of losing interest at that point but I stuck through it and I was much more interested at the end. Mostly because I'm really liking Duela, the actress reminds me of someone but I can't think of who. Which is the same for the actress who plays Stephanie, she looks like another actress but I can't pinpoint who.

I'm not sure how police and the district attorney's office works in the Bat world but it's ...not believable. Especially Harvey Dent, he is The Worst ADA right now.

Gotham's Bruce Wayne was a much better poor little rich kid than Batman's Adopted Son.
