We're counting Lily as physical power, right?
Of course, now I want to imagine her named Lilith, and all the cast out of the garden untouchable womanness that implies.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Vonnie, I hear you on the FNL association. However, I feel like in FNL it was more that "Blacks are stupid and ferocious" than plain "Blacks are physically strong" and Jake was never portrayed as stupid, so I decided that it didn't bother me.
Plus, there are enough "ultimate soldier" characters in pop culture that that was where my brain went.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hmm, I wasn't, really. She was like Rogue from X-Men, right? Draining other's life force psychically?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hell, just an hour before on Smallville, we had Helo as an "ultimate soldier."

Oh, my. One could go there, if one wanted.
Okay, I *really* have to go do some work, dangit.

Heh. Speaking of not too bright... (Helo, not Tahmoh's SV character.)

She didn't get anything out of it, so I wasn't thinking of her like Rogue. I know they've had a few kill with touch characters in the X Men, but they don't hang out long and don't get names.

Art Crawl!!!
Actually, I'm not sure why any of them thought that they could get out. Why wouldn't the YED prevent them from leaving or just bring them back everytime they escaped? It's not like they were able to keep themselves from being abducted in the first place. Perhaps what happened to Ava was that she realized that she could never escape and rather than be killed - got good at winning the game.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
blacks are treacherous thing is news to me
I want to clarify that when I initially stated this stereotype I stated it as minorities in general, which is where it comes from for me. It is always possible that I am projecting, because Japanese are treacherous definitely is an existing one. But what I was referring to at the time was "You can't trust that group of people Other than me" which I've heard in various incarnations.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
"You can't trust that group of people Other than me"
This is an idea way older than TV.
