OK, the bit about watching her baby brother killed by her childhood terror was both cute and upsetting. I hope John was suitably appreciative of her sisterly concern.
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

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.

Just restricting it to American shows, I would include no The Venture Brothers, but also Jonny Quest and Thundarr the Barbarian. I also have a fondness for The Galaxy Rangers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'd almost include Star Trek: The Animated Series just for the episode where Spock goes back in time to hang with his childhood self....

Yeah, it's a weird list. If you started including anime, well, it'd be a lot longer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 continues their SF primer with some...interesting advice How to get into 20 classic sci fi shows. Their definition of sci fi veers into fantasy here, but hey, Buffy! Angel! Welcome to the party!
Still, some severe wrongness in the advice.

No Eureka tonight. Sad now.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Just said hello to Colin at Dragoncon. Got some scandalous stories about ita and witnessed him and Erica Cerra planning bad things for Neil Grayston.

There are no scandalous stories about me. Lies, all lies.
