Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

'Time Bomb'


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.

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

Wow, Ten really is sorry, he's so sorry.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I was sorry I stuck through most of that series of clips.

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

I loved it. And a couple of them (Donna, Blackpool!Doctor) were quite affecting. And it wasn't even complete. But I doubt you have the thing for Ten I do. I wonder how much Nine said sorry.

Huh.

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

Fairly inconclusive. The trailers after Ten's exit had more meat in them.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You know, I'm enjoying Caprica, but I'm not seeing a lot of discussion about it. Or feeling like I can say much, yet.

Art Crawl!!!

I know! I'm enjoying it too. The promo for next week seems particularly interesting.

I have to say that I think that the Adama family is interesting and that I am also interested in backstory for Josef Adama's mother in law.

I heard spec on the Galactica Watercooler podcast that Zoe is the basis for the Cylon's God - and I'm wondering whether Tamera isn't behind the Cylon's rebellion against humans.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Doesn't the previous series pretty well prove that there is an actual God (or god) with seemingly infallible knowledge of the future?

Compassionately intolerant

Being Human:

Whoa. Uber dark. Not sure I like this humorless turn of events. I did love the Annie-centric episode. Very bittersweet and tonally perfect. Reconnecting with her mom made me go Awww.

But this... Mitchell doesn't get to be the big bad. I hate that.
