I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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.

Question:

When in the character development did Methos become a Horseman? I mean, when did he go from bookish opportunistic survivor to slaughterer of hundreds or thousands, and how did it change how you played the current day character?

The answer was basically "I had no idea it was going to happen, but I guess the writers did. And it informed everything I did from then on. I was Death. It was a big deal."

No! Tell me more! Go on forever with the details!

God, I love Methos, and I love Wingfield for obviously loving Methos.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I've been watching Avatar: TLAB on Netflix. I just mainlined the finale today.

I want more.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

We have been watching it again as well. We are on Book 3 now.

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

I want more.

There's going to be a miniseries, The Legend of Korra, set 100 years in the future and starring the next Avatar, who's a girl.

I know! But, I want it now!

Also, I was wondering what else the animators have done. I think the faces on the characters resemble the faces in The Boondocks a bit, maybe.

It was animated by a Korean studio. They used one other studio a couple times, and you can tell because they're the ones who do the super-exaggerated anime-style facial expressions (like in "The Great Divide," when Aang wants egg custard). I was not a fan of those.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm watching, too. But I just discovered that I have two copies of season two episode ten and no episode nine. Hmph.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I think it's simply that Aaron McGruder's style is influenced by anime.

P-C, I'm not a fan of those anime exaggerated facial styles either. It's really making it hard to appreciate the Full-metal Alchemist: Brotherhood run. It gets used too often and disrupts the serious story telling.

I forgot I wanted to comment on the scenery. I especially loved the concepts of the different cities, like the one with the trolleys that carry everything downhill or the upside down Western Air temple. I wished I could have seen more of it.

My favorite thing was the hybrid animals.
