We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Willow ,'Showtime'


Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

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.

There's also the possibility that Future!Fiennes is, alone of most of the characters (i.e. reading the sports on the throne) trying to send a MESSAGE back to his past self to prevent whatever is happening.

Ooh, that's intriguing. Still, from everything he's learned, his life is going to be pretty crappy in 6 months. I'd be doing any little thing I could to prevent (1) wife leaving, (2) daughter kidnapped, (3) drinking again, (4) men with guns after me, (5) partner dead.

I mean, at least put the photo in a different spot on the cork-board.

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

Ooh, what an awesome idea. Because, yeah, everyone knows when the future they saw occurred, so when that moment arrives, he would be ready.

Also, if I were John Cho, I'd start wearing bulletproof everything all the time. Frankly, none of these people are trying hard enough for me.

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

If he is to doubt when he'll die, why not doubt how he'll die?

I'm with the party that says he should have arrested the potential customs officer. It doesn't have to be his future that he monkey-wrenches (and how is he to know if he does that?), but spoiling the Nazi's story seems simple enough.

Of course, the guy would tell his story to someone else and get freed or something--I guess I deeply believe that they have no free choice. I just want to see them buck up against that particular wall themselves, like the recalcitrant reappearance of the friendship bracelet.

I think it would be damn funny if the daughter keeps making him the same bracelet over and over again.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

FF: So, not only is Courtney B. Vance married to the kick-ass Angela Bassett, but his wife is played by the kick-ass Gina Torres? Sweet deal.

I'm annoyed by Joseph Fiennes constant glowering posture. Like the week before as he watched the friendship bracelet burn, and now with the Nazi. It seems like such an affectation and not an expression of true emotion. Or bad highschool acting, which I never would have thought to accuse him of.

eta that it wouldn't be so bothersome if he lifted his chin off his chest as he gave the stink-eye.

Is anyone watching Vampire Diaries? I have three eps on the tivo, but just can't quite bring myself to watch them. Can anyone give me a reason?
