River ,'Safe'
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.
The first ten minutes of Gotham Knights was absolute bonkers and then it got bonkerser
I wouldn't even have watched if Misha Collins hadn't tweeted the thing he's most proud of is treating the canonically trans character with respect and now I think I'm hooked
admittedly it was the thing that happened in the last five minutes that really sold me
I saw a tweet/tik tok about the moment with the trans character, and the tweeter was overcome with emotion to see a canonically trans character being protected and respected by GCPD. As they put it "he's not even good cop, really. He's just being a decent human being." Makes me want to watch the show just to give them the props.
I liked both how that was done AND The interaction with Cullen and his sister Harper afterwards about Harper being overprotective about Cullen because that felt real on both their parts. Hopefully tonight's episode will tighten things up some.
speaking of good trans rep on scifi TV shows I'm still loving Quantum Leap
I understand Riverdale is coming back for a final season tonight.

Again?
Like someone described Hawaiian singers, they're always saying good-bye and never leaving.
I stopped paying attention to Riverdale some time in season 3 and just assumed it went away at some point after that. I am kind of intrigued at the possible chaos they got up to while I wasn't looking, it never really had any rails to go off of as I recall
I mostly did as well, except every so often I'd see that it was on. Sometimes I checked it out, mostly I just went off to do other things. I did see that the characters have been put in 1955 (or thereabouts).
OK. They did the 80s for an episode or two as a flashback to the parents? Something like that. I do like how willing they are to have no narrative rules but the results were always really hit or miss for me and not enough hits to keep me tuning in I guess. Good for them going over 100 episodes, though! Part of me does want to check it out again because surely it will make no difference that I don't know what's going on
