I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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.

This week's Sanctuary was easily my favourite of the season. I found it very sweet, even though I figured out the who and they why ahead of time.

Oh, I agree.

I was just hoping that, since they showed Big Guy embracing him in the previouslies, that they'd go less ambiguous and have him say something like, "We can't be together like that."

As I said, way up thread, I'm not one to seek the slash. I just liked how true Henry's feelings were last season and any natural, realistic relationship in pop media, regardless of orientation, needs all the support it can get.

Don't mind me. I'm still bugged by the writers killing off Tessa in HighlanderS2.

Well, Juliebird. I gave it a go...and it's like this.

I truly enjoyed the structure of the episode and some of the writing. I'm a huge fan of the very Jossian or Rowlingian expressing the consequences of previous decisions (whether episodes or seasons ago) in the current storyline. That rocked. Though I'm not a great fan of the timey whimey stuff . But I thought it was quite well done here. AND, called back to previous SG plots. So, yeah.

However, and still, I just can't embrace the characters. Not just because I find the BSG visuals distracting, but I just don't find them sympathetic. Even worse, in the 'next ons', LDP appears all scowly again. Pheh. I just hate that character and don't care what happens to him.

Unlike, say, the VP Kinsey and Woolsey characters, who were at least interestingly hateable.

I have no integrity though, because despite my dislike, if y'all post intriguing things about future episodes, I'll probably watch them in the background. I'm shallow/easily distracted like that.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

New special this Sunday!!

Thank you for the reminder. That might just get me through the day.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Me too! It was made possibly more scarring by my roommate sadly informing me of the event as I came in the front door.

And frankly, I never liked Ritchie enough to want him hanging around forever.

I am bonny!

Survey: Are you a completist, who wants to own every season of a show, even if you didn't like some of them, or do you only buy the seasons you liked?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

My completism is dictated by how and when I can get hold of less-favored seasons on deep discount.

Trust my rage

I wouldn't need to but the entire thing, but I would need to watch in order.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

New special this Sunday!!

As a friend of mine said, "If there's no David, let them eat Tennant": happy Waters of Mars day!

(Though, sadly, by the time I'll be able to go and ahem it I'll have to go to bed. So I guess I'll only watch it tomorrow. God, Monday is gonna be such a hell until I'll have the time to watch it, and one of my classes will include surprise oral exams on a 60 page article before it. I guess that no pain, no Doctor concept reflects to my real life now. WTF. You're a fictional character. You can't hurt me. You have no power over me... right?).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

FF - Is Mark really so dumb that it didn't occur to him that there might be more than one guy out there with the same arm tat? REALLY???
