especially the part where part of their plan was to make the world start sucking in the first place.
Huh. Not me. I was thinking along the lines of, "Us humans are perfectly capable of royally fucking things up ourselves, thankyouverymuch."
Anybody can be a prop class clown.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm with tommy. It felt like shirking our responsibility.
I need to watch Firefly again. I'm finding it hard to believe in an unmenacing Tudyk, even though Alpha and this character were revealed over time.
What has Morris Chestnut been doing with his time since Boyz In The Hood? B movies? God, he's pretty. And he moved so well in that action scene.
I can't take Scott Wolf seriously. What is he? 4'10? Has his voice broken yet?

Oh, we totally are. But I like plans.

Oh I like this coding of the threads and its avoidance of duplicate post numbers so much better.
No, I really didn't like the "they are fucking us up" angle. We are fucking us up. We really are.
But they beat the Cylons in the planning department.

Finished Defying Gravity, wah!
Maybe because I basically marathoned it (is that the same thing as mainlining?), but I didn't really miss any smaller beats in the story. Or maybe because they never really said where they were going with the show, so I had nothing to do but enjoy the little mundanities and intricacies of the relationships. Unlike, say, Carnivale, where it was all supposedly "The Kurgan and Chuck Norstadt do epic battle over the fate of the world!" but really it was a whole lot of meandering side stories. I was so relieved when it was cancelled, because it felt like Anne Rice's vampires that NEVER FUCKING DIED and the pain, misery, and torture would go on for centuries and books and centuries and books and books.
I have insomnia, a cold, and drugs.

V ratings were through the roof. Highest-rated new show of the season. Take that, NCIS: LA.
I may Netflix the rest of Defying Gravity. I can't be bothered to use bandwidth to acquire it.

Thanks for the back-up, bennett. Also, hi!
I have to get the rest of Defying Gravity, too. The last one I saw was them all staring in the cargo pod. Yeah, great place to end.

I saw that! Let's see what the drop-off next week is, though.

I watched the end of Defying Gravity at surf the channel dot com.

Oh, huh. Thanks. I hadn't heard of that one. How many eps were there in total?
