You guys, season five of the X-Files was SO FUCKING GOOD. I think these guys Tim Minear and Vince Gilligan might really be going somewhere.

Boxed Set, Vol. VI: I am not a number, I am a free thread!
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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

There are so many good episodes, but I have a compulsion to watch everything in order.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I think I've fallen out of love with the CW shows. I hadn't kept up so I've missed some episodes. I tried catching up on Super Girl but got bored. I tried watching the musical episode and realized I don't care about The Flash anymore. I can't even bring myself to try Arrow or Supernatural. I have watched a few Legends, but it's not enough.
Sad now.

Riiiiiiiiiverdale. (Which doesn't actually belong in this thread, so that's all I'm going to say about that.)

Riverdale, Jane the Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I kind of want to doodle the CW's logo in my diary and draw hearts all around it all of the time.

I am rapidly getting tired of the CW's superhero shows, though. (Or at least Arrow and the Flash, which are the only ones I watch.) I feel like they've gotten themselves into a rut that they don't care to get out of, which is a damn shame, since they started so well.
Riverdale is totally my main squeeze, though. And next season it might belong in this thread, because I read something that said the show would be introducing "supernatural elements" (though I have no idea what that would look like).

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm wondering if shows have a limited lifetime for being interesting - if they run for a while and then the writers run out of ideas or decide they have to do something "original" or "serious" and totally change the dynamic of it.

I think high concept shows definitely do, or at least it's more of a challenge to keep them going over the long term. Once the big Thing introduced in the premiere is solved, the characters need a Next Thing which is almost never as strong a concept as the first one. (You can see it even in shows that stay good, like BtVS S4+. You can't be working to solve the problem of "high school is hell" anymore if you graduate/blow up the school!)
