‘Doctor Who’
The 4th Doctor: “If someone who knew the future, pointed out a child to you, and told you that that child would grow up totally evil, be a ruthless dictator who would destroy millions of lives, could you then kill that child?”
Forty years ago the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) first uttered those words to a young Sarah Jane Smith, his then companion, concerning the leader of the race that became his archenemy: Davros, the father of the Daleks. Now in 2015, the 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi) is forced to reckon with these words as he is faced with exactly that very situation: meeting a young and innocent Davros. What will he do?
‘Fear the Walking Dead’
Daniel Salazar: “Men do these things not because of evil, they do evil because of fear. And at that moment I realized my father is a fool for believing there’s a difference.”
Daniel Salazar knows what it is like to live in a country torn apart by civil war, and the chaos and abuse that ensues when governmental authority is upon the brink of collapse. Everyone hunkered down to listen to this voice of experience, because if they listen to Travis, he’s probably going to get them all killed by thinking the government is going to fix it all.
‘Gotham’
Bruce Wayne: “You can’t have both happiness and the truth. You have to choose. I beg of you my son, please choose happiness. Unless you feel a calling, a true calling.”
At the end of last season, Bruce found a mysterious doorway in his father’s office. Confused as to what his father’s role was in the darker aspects of Wayne Enterprises, Bruce is desperate to find out what could be behind the door. When he finally does get the door open it leads to a cave with even more mysteries to solve and a letter from his father.
On page 2: ‘Empire,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ and ‘How to Get Away With Murder’
‘Empire’
Lucious Lyon: “It’s crazy how I can love your ass and hate you at the same moment.”
Cookie and Lucious may not always see eye to eye, and we certainly love them for that, but there is no denying that their loyalty runs deep. Even in the midst of a hostile takeover, Lucious puts his petty plan aside, and protects Cookie and the Lyon family from the wrath of a drug dealer Cookie testified against.
‘Grey’s Anatomy’
Ben Warren: “Everything the light touches is yours. Congratulations, Chief.”
After 245 episodes, Grey’s Anatomy fans finally heard the news they’ve been waiting for since the fiery resident walked into their lives– Miranda Bailey is the new Chief of Surgery. She may not be shiny or new, but she is tough as nails and understands what it takes to be in charge of Grey Sloan Memorial.
‘How to Get Away With Murder’
Frank DelFino: “It’s frickin’ Lord of the Flies out there.”
It’s two weeks after the death/disappearance of Rebecca Sutter, and the students are all at each other’s throats, literally. Poor Frank just had to break up a catfight between Laurel and Michaela, and he complains to Annalise that she’s going to have to do something unless she wants to have to deal with more dead bodies piling up in her house.
On page 3: ‘The Muppets,’ and ‘Scream Queens,’
‘The Muppets’
Fozzie Bear: “When your online profile says you’re a ‘passionate bear looking for love,’ you get a lot of wrong responses.”
These ain’t your parents’ Muppets, and that’s all we have to say about that.
‘Scream Queens’
Chanel: “How did you get HPV? When were you in Mexico?”
Chanel is the embodiment of everything you hate about your stereotypical, mean-spirited sorority girl. She’s a dumb Elle Woods meets Regina George, so obviously we love her.
