Wash ,'Bushwhacked'
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.
The fact that silver burns is pretty widespread trope (Angel, True Blood, Being Human?)
I don't think it's the silver itself that burns in the Jossverse, does it? Or Spike's wearing a lot of non-silver rings.
Barbara Hambly's vampires are vulnerable to the silver itself. There are interesting scenes where the heroes are figuring out the best way to drape as much silver on themselves as they can without looking too weird in public.
I don't think we've seen any indication in the Jossverse that silver burns--I only recall burns from crosses specifically.
Angel's claddagh ring would be fake silver too, in that case.
a lot of people fond of the genre are incredibly dismissive of her works, so I guess that balances out.
Balances out, cause and effect, six of one, half a dozen of the other...
I think silver was only mentioned in the Jossverse in terms of werewolves, not vampires. Doesn't Buffy stab Oz with a letter opener at one point before she knows it is Oz and then wonders if it is real silver.

In first season Buffy, Angel gets a cross burned into his chest from embracing Buffy. Also, there was craxy Spike draped over a silver cross and smoking. Perhaps his rings are pewter?
eta or maybe they just weren't consistent. Didn't Angel have a silver claddagh ring?

I'm pretty sure in both cases that it was the cross-ness and not the silver-ness causing the burns.
I thought that it was the cross that made the smoke, not the silver. And the craxy spike was on a wooden or stone one, I thought?
Ah. Right. That makes sense. Cross.
Perhaps his rings are pewter?
Platinum baby!

I swear we've had this conversation before.
