Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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 won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Typo Boy, I thought it might signify an object involved in their plan, or something? I wasn't paying very close attention.

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

I09 is running an Ask Peter Wingfield a Highlander Question Competition.

I'm struck by how many people think Methos rocks. I mean, I knew he did. I just wasn't sure it was a prevailing opinion outside of LJ fandom.

Compassionately intolerant

I think the primary reason Peter Wingfield is so loved by the fandom is that he loves the fandom equally. He's done more to keep the flame alive, so to speak, than anyone else in the cast.

He's done short films, poetry readings, you name it.

It's a bit like Stephen Briggs knowing more about the Discworld than Terry Pratchett.

WTF?

Compassionately intolerant

I should have qualified that...the reading of fan generated poetry. I actually found it pretty cringe worthy, but he was game, so yeah...big with the love of the fan love.

Ron Moore on what happened to Starbuck at the end of the BSG finale:

She is what you want to think of her. It was left deliberately nebulous and vague. And I think she was a representative of an entity that didn't like to be called God, but everybody else talked about it in godlike terms. If you want to call her an angel, you could say that. She went through a resurrection story that was very Christlike. And you know, what are the implications of that? I felt, as I went into the finale, that the more I defined exactly what she was, the less interesting she became. And so I just made a choice to go out on a more ambiguous note, and to let people argue about it perpetually.

Totally doesn't make me like the finale one whit better.
