Zoe ,'War Stories'
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.
I read the article, but didn't really look at it origins. ( bad librarian, no biscuit). Looking more at it , point and laugh is a little too fatuous for me. Not sure what a good response is ....other than a sideways look and a slow backing away from the crazy.
However, I am pleased to be in a conspiracy I didn't know I was in.
Do the Illuminati offer cinnamon rolls and hot guy-on-guy porn? I'm awfully weak for programming if cinnamon rolls and hot guy-on-guy porn are involved.
Seriously, it's sites like that one that make me reconsider being armed.
Um. Yeah. Sure.
To be fair, he does have a point soley regarding how men are portrayed in advertising and sitcoms, where being able to tie one's own shoes unaided seems to be the zenith of male competence and agency. But so far as I can tell, the Everybody Loves Raymond Effect hasn't resulted in male politicians and corporate CEOs being marginalized in favor of their fiendish distaff Illuminati replacements.
Gorg agree with Whiny Nerd Man.
Gorg miss when Sci Fi was all for men-folk and had more men-folk with ray-guns going "pew pew pew" and men-folk would go "Ha ha evil Emperor Man-Folk, I have pew pew-ed Emperor Man-Folk's giant tower of doom!" And then women-folk would say "Oh, Hero Man-Folk, you are so Hero Man-Folk-ly!" and make space sandwiches.
Gorg cannot think of one, not one single Sci Fi movie where women-folk were necessary...what?
Oh, right. Well, Barbarella, sure, but...hm? Well, okay, Alien and Aliens... but Alien 3 and Alien 4 sucked and that...what? Well, of course Gorg spank to Princess Leia, she so cool, what with the "pew pew" and the "get walking carpet out of way" and...who? Andre Norton? Oh, she good writer, I like...yes, okay, Anne McCaffrey, though Gorg get so tired of Pern he want to puke fewmets...
...LOOK! Gorg just want Sci Fi to be...um...good. Which...
...yes, okay, Starbuck hot.
Gorg give up.
I'm so talented I'm simultaneously @@, pointing and laughing, and backing away slowly running the FUCK in the other direction. Take THAT, Gorg-alikes!
A comment from Scalzi's respone, meant (I hope) tongue in cheek:
Seriously, if there were no woman in Scifi, who, I say who, would wear the Leia bikini at the conventions.
May I suggest John Barrowman?
Tricia Helfer and Grace Park practically naked in Maxim: [link]
they are fucking airbrushed half to death.
Seriously, their faces. OMG. Tricia Helfer does not look like that.
Grace Park's hip doesn't seem to attach to her spine in a natural way.
