A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.

Turn on ABC family and watch till the first commercial break. Dexo accurately described them as a network that "manages to out CW the CW".

Yeah it is easier to show rather than tell

That channel is all about the 18-34 year-olds now. Which is why they changed the name, because a lot of their shows aren't really "family" friendly.

Oh. Hmm. The vague future shown as this bizarre prison was pretty neat. How often is the future used?

Fairly often, almost half of the plot takes place there.

Legends swerved us by killing what we thought was worst character off in second episode but then decided to reveal that in fact the worst character was the main character of the show all along.

You have to define who the lead is because there are only three likable people on LoT.

I like all the DC shows. I do agree though that LoT just needs to get rid of Rip, fix the fact he's pretty boring, or just demote him to living scenery that gives the team wacky missions. Vandal being boring outside his accent is bad but he's not around enough to really kill the show.

E: oh and if Hawkman were still alive the show would be unwatchable

I thought last night's Arrow was great. And they managed to write a good episode about the bee villain, something even season one Flash couldn't do.

I am a wellspring of hope I'll have you know. Well except for the fact that I think Arrow has conditioned me to get enraged at the sight of John Barrowman's face at this point.

Yes. As long as that channel exists in some fashion, even if they rename it or sell it, the 700 club has to have a spot on the channel. And it can't be a bullshit overnight position either. You almost have to respect them for getting someone to sign a contract that allowed that.

Although if anyone can find a loophole if they wanted, it's Disney.

I think it's hilarious you have all this same sex romance on something like Shadowhunters and then here comes 700 Club! Like, you'd think that maybe 700 Club might get sick of sharing the channel with that, but who knows.

I honestly have a feeling that's what they're trying to do but while Pat Robertson's still alive he's gonna dig the gently caress in.

At least Arrow had the guts to kill a major character, unlike Walking Dead.

It would just be such a bizarre way to shoot that scene as the an actual death of a long term major character especially when that character has such deep background in the source. I mean killing off Black Canary on a Green Arrow show with them never having had a serious relationship on the show?
