'Him'
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.
Panicky in-the-know Carter honking his horn caused Allison and Henry to act differently when they got in the SUV to run, and Allison fastened her seatbelt.
Okay, that's one hell of a gamble. How could he possibly know she'd fasten her seatbelt? I mean, it makes sense that it would save her, but not necessarily that she'd do that.
My god, I thought I understood it, and now I'm completely adrift.
It doesn't seem like much of a plan. But they didn't have much time to put a plan together, maybe that gamble was the best they could do - try to stop the explosion (or whatever it was) in such a way to hopefully get Allison farther from the blast if it happened?
X-Files:
Some of my favorite episodes, not a comprehensive list ("Home" would NOT be on the list) include...
"Tooms" - that put me through changes. I think it is also notable for the kind of tone the series had and would continue through its 8 season: edgy, gross, intense.
"Pusher" - though I bet the ep isn't as good as I remember it being.
And one of my favorite of the series is "Redrum", but that's not a Mulder/Scully episode, so I suppose that might be sacrilege.
I know which episode "Demon With a Glass Hand" was only because I read a book all about the Outer Limits and it dwelt in that episode a fair bit. I didn't see it until after I'd read about it, though, and seeing it was a little disappointing.
My vote would go to "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," but I agree "Tooms" represents the best elements of The X-Files. In the final seasons, I said more that once, "I miss liver-eating mutants."
ha! did you really?
Absolutely.
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose
Oh, yes. And the Jose Chung episodes!
I will say that by no means is Home my favorite episode - that's a four-way tie between Clyde Bruckman, Jose Chung, Small Potatoes and Bad Blood. But Home is definitely an episode that stays with you.
Whether you like it or not. God knows Johnny Mathis will never mean the same thing to me ever again.
I asked Colin what the resolution of the episode actually meant, and he didn't know. So there you have it.
