Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

'Dirty Girls'


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.

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

Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn' t love you?"

Sorry. That line still comes to mind even now.

Hearts ita. More than usual.

Our wings are not tired.

Maybe Astrid will turn out to have a brother who disappeared as a child, and that way she can be more a part of the story.

Do you want to kill Walter!?! Yeah, that would hurt.

Just watched. That was some good stuff. I was not a Olivia fan in the beginning at all, but she has won me over this season. Seeing Walter through her eyes literally covered me with goosebumps. You did this to children! Yikes. To be horrified with his history and still need/want to work with him. She is doing a great job showing the emotional struggle.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"Smallville: Absolute Justice" was more fun than it had any right to be. Even with those costumes.

To be horrified with his history and still need/want to work with him.

The big question I think is does Walter accept why she's horrified or does he file it under "such a nice girl, I hate that she doesn't understand how important my work was." I suspect William Bell is the true mastermind, because he convinced Walter to have bits of his brain removed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So many things make more sense once you realize that the first scene was in the AU. One thing I didn't get before was why they were looking for tremors and trying to suss out a pattern. Why didn't they just look at the tremors from before and figure out the pattern? Because those tremors were in a different reality, that's why.

All is well that ends in pizza.

"Smallville: Absolute Justice" was more fun than it had any right to be. Even with those costumes.

I didn't know it was going to be 2 hours when I stat down to watch it at midnight or so.

Many eps of Smallville I can skim. This one I couldn't

If they minimize the Kandor storyline, I will be much happier.

Of course, More Lois and Clark and more Superman are always welcome.

That being said, Andi and I have started watching Lois and Clark from the beginning.

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

Shanks's hero voice ranks way below Bale and Ackles.

Ha!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Considering the standard of excellence you're holding him to, ita, I can't figure out if Shank's hero voice isn't quite ludicrously deep enough, or if he sounds like he's chewing gravel while dry-heaving.

(Ackles and Bale, though, in the same breath? At least Jensen doesn't make me giggle uncontrollably.)

Fringe was great. I figured we were in AU right away from the spelling and the coffee line, so score one for me, who is usually oblivious. I had kind of forgotten Peter was from an AU, so the end surprised me. I'm backwards! Maybe I'm from an AU.
