Forrest ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
I enjoyed The 100 until diminishing returns on emotional investment sometime in S2.
I continue to be infatuated by Shadowhunters: the diverse cast, the well-integrated and casual addressing of class, racial, LGBTQ, and other driving social issues, and some resolutions, and my god, the pretty. Plot? NSM, but it's so gorgeous I really don't mind, at all.
I'm liking Midnight, TX, though I have to agree that some of the acting is WOOD-EN. But the bad actors are pretty (Winged Dude, I'm lookin' at you.) and the Grandma cracks me up.
I pop into the 100 every now and then but it is emotionally exhausting in large doses.
Did anyone watch Dominion?
Like Midnight, I had not read the source material, so I don't know if it was any good from that perspective. It was emotionally daunting at times to, but ASH! In a ever so very NOT Giles role.
I really loved The 100 for the first 3 seasons but the level of emotional trauma kind of exhausted me. I saw the first 2 eps of s4, and I might just skip to the end.
My summary statement on The 100: it is a show in which there is no way to cheat the Kobayashi Maru test. There are no good solutions, just varying levels of bad decisions. Which I respect as a storytelling maneuver, but after a while, it gets hard to watch.
Consuela is me when it comes to The 100. felt the same about The Walking Dead.
There is only so much I can take.
I never got into it because the amount of Isaiah Washington I can take is zero.

I find I'm reaching that point of diminishing return sooner these days.
I used to mock my MiL for being devoted to My Three Sons and the Brady Bunch. I'm afeared that's where I'm headed. RL has enough tsuris already. I'm not wanting it in my mindless entertainment, too.

I'm SUPER enjoying watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Hulu this summer. (I know this is not the correct thread to discuss it; just popping in to agree that some low-key good-hearted comedy is awesome.)
Well, intrigued by Harry Shum, Jr.'s character in Shadowhunters, I just mainlined all of Glee (sorry, wrong thread I know, but in the spirit of the discussion), which I'd never watched before. And felt better for having watched it.
Brooklyn 99 is AWESOME.
I think The 100, for me, is far enough detached from reality that the darkness doesn't bother me.
But there is certainly a big place in my heart for Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
