Buffy ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
In the book - panther thing:
Jason was captured and tortured for a very long time by a were-panther who hated him because he thought that Jason took Crystal from him. There was no plant to make him a panther to have little panther babies because that's not the way the shifting stuff works in book-verse What Jason becomes is a weird partial panther thing not an actual panther. He did get kidnapped in the book where Eric winds up as Sookie's amnesiac guest.
good grief. weird shit.
Vortex, TCG caught it.
I saw the Harris book Sookie was reading and kept going back to try and see the cover. I don't think it was a Sookie!book...I hate to say it but, I recognize all those covers.
It was a cute moment. Made me think of the old 'subliminal advertising' stuff from the 70s.
That interview is about the latest book, so way spoilery for the series, BTW.
I did not read the interview, so thank you for that, ita.
You might want to post it in Literary too, now that I think about it.
did anyone else notice that Sookie was reading a book by Charlaine Harris when she was waiting for Eric? I was kind of amused by that.
In season 1, Grams is reading a Charlaine Harris book at the kitchen table. I only noticed it on my latest rewatch.
Will cause humans to be wiped out within 4 months due to the whole famine things, and then they'll be able to easily turn Earth into a...day care? Sea farm? Alien spa?
But unless the miracle is reversed no one will die in the famine. We'll just get skinny and skinnier. With any luck we'll lose our ability to reproduce at some point in the skinnying... We're looking at masses of starving people who just walk around starving. Presumably we get weak and end up unable to care for ourselves and end up in an unending torment of pain and filth. Maybe one of the kids being huffed by aliens for all eternity broke out and came up with it as revenge.
The only thing that took me out of the show when I watched it was Pullman's situation. I don't give a shit what the arguments were, they are not going to let out a pedophile murderer from prison.
Yeah, no kidding. His lawyer can argue all kinds of shit, but unless his lawer is a member of this Sooper CIA where anything they want they can have it won't mean spit.
Well, that's another issue -- he needs a crutch and a wheelchair to leave the hospital, but he's able to fly across the Atlantic and drive a couple of hours through the English countryside. Again, kind of forgivable in the interests of getting the plot going, but when the Oswald Danes story line already has my disbelief poorly suspended, not good.
I'm going with "adrenaline" on that one.
Like debet I suspect he'll die. Our last ep is they win, the "miracle" is reversed and Jack watches the man die as he resumes his immortality.
I've always wondered, what do you call a bad miracle?
