My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Oz ,'Him'


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.

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

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

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.

Jane Espenson explains Tauron tatts.

(And a brief interview with Sasha Roiz - who plays Sam Adama.)

A couple of Scott Porter interviews - they're mostly about his new movie but he talks about Caprica in both. (I linked to page two of the 2nd one because that is where he talks about playing Nestor.)

Now, I'm wondering whether Starbuck was supposed to have had some Taureon heritage - what with her giant marriage tattoos.

Being Human just took a big left turn there. I wanna see this westernised now, as an exercise.

Thanks for the link, Sumi. Sam Adama turns out to be an unexpectedly interesting character, at least from the original show descriptions I ran across.
