Mal: Ready? Zoe: Always.

'Serenity'


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.

Art Crawl!!!

So, Amanda didn't die? She just left Graystone to live with Sister Clarice?

I'm confused. I hope we see how the heck she survived that jump.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That was particularly unclear. Is it possible that she did die and that scene was in that "virtual heaven", somehow?

not your mom's socks.

Wondering that myself, t.

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 don't think "virtual heaven" exists yet.

Also, I was somewhat disappointed over the lack of robotic mayhem.

The "resurrection software" was invented by Human!Zoe before she died, right? In last night's ep, wasn't there a little flashback with her and Sister Clarice where Zoe is telling Clarice about the software?

I don't remember if Sister Clarice has a copy of that software....

A review in io9: Caprica shows us what religion really is

So now we've got two groups battling for Capricans' immortal digital souls: A corporation riddled with mob connections, and a religious group that favors terrorist tactics. Meanwhile, Zoe is hunting through New Cap City for Tamara, swords drawn, which could mean a new force will emerge to challenge both. I love watching business and religion battle to control the gadgets of the future.

This show, like Battlestar Galactica, isn't afraid to tell an intelligent, morally ambiguous story. Let's hope it stays on course. And gets renewed, for frak's sake.

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

Well Haven dropped a couple or three bombshells on its way out for the season.

Plus shippy goodness.

I'm just watching the episode now, but I love how they place little references to other Stephen King novels in episodes. This week it was Shawshank prison.

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

Yes, there was some serious WTF going on in the last half hour or so.

Do we think the sheriff is dead for good?
