Okay, incidentally question since Clara's apparently not going to be a part of this. Buuuut: How has Clara not been fired yet?

Has anyone been reading Providence? It's been fucking excellent.

On a show not specifically marketed as a "women's show"? I don't think ever.

Using the word "female" as an adjective is fine, but some people feel that using "female" as a noun is uncomfortable. Which makes sense, since a lot of people who use it as a noun are chronic shits.

No quite. The OP is arguing that the show only gets poor critical reviews here, but that critics elsewhere generally appreciate it.

Big Bang Theory'sn strong ratings clearly prove that it's an equally strong show, yes?

I'm honestly hoping — despite the complete lack of narrative integrity that this would represent — that it's actually none of the cast. It's a bunch of strangers that just absolute detest the main cast and are picking them off one by one. While simultaneously sowing seeds of distrust, so that the characters will…

Yeah. She wanted power because she felt that she deserved it (and this was motivated by, as the show occasionally suggested, something of an inferiority complex on her part). Pretty simple and straightforward.

But they're transphobic, so I'm not sure anyone with sense would care.

Barbara switched to complete psycho in one episode and it still doesn't make any sense.

I think he's more effective when he's being more actively aggressive than frivolous — the performance of those beats feels overly considered. Part of me wonders if that's because the actor's a little young.

Fucking love this show.

Av club totally panders. The news pieces will publish anything even vaguely superhero, zombie or Game of Thrones related, because that's the Zeitgeist, and that's what draws the readers — and with a notably popularist slant to the material.

Yeah, but on the other hand there's Strike Back, Continuum, Defiance, Kingdom, and at least half-a-dozen other shows that aired in the last year that were more deserving of attention that shows like this or Heroes Reborn.

The show's already established that there is a balance, even if it is nascent. The Balloonman, the Goat, that nurse character — even Kristen Kringle seems headed down that path. Eccentric, even psychotic vigilante types, and slightly off independent investigators.

That's not my problem — Continuum, Farscape, Doctor Who, X-Files, Lost, hell, even Buffy have done time travel stories. It's a genre television staple. The fact that there was time travel used isn't the remotest of problems for me.

I also find the Flash's plotting ridiculous and slow. The whole thing with stretching out the reveal of who the main villain was — presumably because of budget issues, super speed fights can't be cheap, and his being completely overpowered for the most part — for a whole twenty episodes was fundamentally terrible.

Gotham's consistently cast good and interesting actors for its parts — if anything, this is a compliment.

ok but seriously why are the villains appearing before Batman does.

slightly ridiculous boredom
