A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.
Juliebird, I have often noticed that reaction to the killing of a Bad Guy, particularly in the movies. "Yippee-kay-yay, mother-fucker," and so forth.
What little reaction I've seen on my flist to that scene is more in line with you: shock and concern about what this will do to Stanley, who's the one male figure on the show that hasn't been pretty greyed up. I wouldn't have been surprised if Eric or Jake or Hawkins had done it--although no, I would have been surprised if Hawkins did it, because he would have known it was a poor move strategically. But Stanley? Yeah, that was a shock.
So in one sense I welcome it, because it was unexpected and shocking, but it was also wrong, and thus it's going to give us some interesting fallout. And we've already seen that, from Beck's reaction at the sight of Goetz' body outside New Bern.
I was fully expecting one of the New Bernians to shoot him. Stanley doing it and then having the sickened reaction to it felt just as shocking as Bonnie's actions and death in the last episode. This season is really packing the punches.
Torchwood vid rec: Papa Don't Preach. Probably inevitable in a fandom with canon mpreg, and deeply, deeply funny.
Oh, my, that was some lovely crack.
Jack made a comment in the first episode about being pregnant, and never doing that again.
Holy fucking shit. Burn Gorman is a HELL of an actor. He has managed to redeem Owen. Some fucking amazing work tonight. I'm almost overwhelmed.
Jack made a comment in the first episode about being pregnant, and never doing that again.
Yeah, they pretty much came right out in the first five minutes of episode one and waved the 'We Are Crackfic Incarnate' banners, bless 'em.
And, hey, we know from
Doctor Who
that Jack has canonically been known to keep a gun stored UP HIS ASS for emergencies - this is the only show I can think of where I genuinely expect Tentacle Porn to crop up at some point. (If it hasn't already this season.)
See,
t minority opinion again
I enjoy (not exactly like, but do enjoy and am interested in) Owen already, so I'm very much looking forward to catching this season. And he
is
a damn fine actor, isn't he?
