'A Hole in the World'


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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Even in her old job, Gwen couldn't have said, "I'm going to be working long hours preparing a raid on a big drug ring operating on the wharf." Just the long hours part.

All these speculations about dynamic guns-blazing cop things are making me giggle a bit. Not to say that Cardiff doesn't have a problem with drugs (I'm sure they do), but I keep remembering Gwen's nice blond partner in that first ep: "They should do CSI: Cardiff! It's be all about measuring the velocity of a flying kebab!"

Also, I'm so glad to hear Rhys is getting some love! I do heart Rhys enormously. (...er, my mental image of him tends to be as he's drumming out a tune on his arse, while meandering out the room butt-nekkid.) And, yes - much like my love for The Chief! (Except The Chief has a bit of SpyDaddyesque Do-Not-Fuck-With-Me going on, along with the whole cuddly teddybear thing, which is also v. v. v. hot.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Whoa, I just saw the latest REAPER and if you hadn't told me that was Jamie Kennedy I NEVER would have known that. Also, Ray Wise gives good evil (though I think we knew that).

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I recognized Jamie Kennedy immediately. I really don't like him, so I spent his scenes cringing and praying that he wouldn't start his schtick.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

He says that it's some aliens answer to the 1970s NASA message to outer space from Earth.

SO much more pleasant about it than V-Ger.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Fair enough, Fay -- I don't know much about Cardiff. (My Welsh ancestors came from Anglesey, but I don't know much about that area either.) But it isn't so much the guns blazing stuff. A lot of what law enforcement does is necessariliy secret, even from SOs.

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

Did anyone watch New Amsterdam yesterday? I think I'm still in a bit of shock.

Completely forgot it was on, dammit. Can you say why, since it's been broadcast.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I did. Shocked that the victim died or shocked that he's already kissing his twu wuv?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

ita, in shock over what a wretched hour of TV that was? The writing, the acting, that silly love scene at the end?

Art Crawl!!!

I did.

Shock about what?
