'Soul Purpose'


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.

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

But didn't you hear, Maria? THEY'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!!!!!

(I actually find the shrieking appropriately unsettling, but I totally understand your reaction.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

But didn't you hear, Maria? THEY'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!!!!!

I think even the Cylons heard. And I'm not talking about Sam, Tigh, Tori or the Chief.

Art Crawl!!!

I think that Baltar is just trying to keep his head attached to his body.

Back to Torchwood: when I saw Andy one of my first thoughts was, "hey, why wasn't Andy at Gwen's wedding," so I was particularly pleased that they addressed that immediately.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

BSG:

Remember, though, that he already half convinced himself he was a Cylon. This is a man who does not like to be on the outside, to not have a place, have prestige. He's also probably more alone and more broken now than he's been since the show began, really. On New Caprica he may have been hated, but he was the President, he had a role. On trial, he was a pariah, but he was also center of the show, the Big Bad. Now? He's nothing.

Thrust into politics, it didn't take him long to get up on his high horse, acting - and feeling - like he knew better than Roslin. Alone with the Cylons, he was their long-awaited mystery. He was the outrageously misunderstood and ill-used political prisoner, getting ready to head off on a book tour.

Now? Yeah, he saw how ridiculous and freaky it all was. And he was acting, giving them what they wanted.

But. How wonderful if it were true, if he were some kind of messiah, if he did have a place and a role and could heal and be loved and respected again? [And Roslin everyone would see they were wrong wrong wrong.] And of course he knows it's not true, but it could be, couldn't it? Maybe just a little? And, hey, if he has some lovely ladies on the side and for all I know maybe figures a way to turn a profit and...

By the time you even get to the end of the sentence Baltar is waay ahead of you. His most credulous audience member has always been one Gaius Baltar.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

[And Roslin everyone would see they were wrong wrong wrong.] And of course he knows it's not true, but it could be, couldn't it? Maybe just a little? And, hey, if he has some lovely ladies on the side and for all I know maybe figures a way to turn a profit and...

Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
