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.
Tolkien has an odd word-music that is tuned on alliteration and structure -- not surprising when you find out he was a leading world authority on Anglo-Saxon languages and literature. Pretty much considered all those Romance languages Johnny-come-latelies and Shakespeare irretrievably contaminated.
Unfortunately, the first couple chapters of TLotR is in a very twee, juvenile mode a la
The Hobbit
-- it isn't until just before the Council of Elrond chapter that it snaps into a more adult, serious mode that is what makes the trilogy.
(Why is this all in Boxed Set?)
Sorry, I couldn't think where else to purge my brain of that link of the Tolkien calendar. Intellectually I know that there is a movies thread and a books thread, but since I don't frequent them, they did not occur to me.
Additional casting for Wonder Woman: Elizabeth Hurley as nemesis, Cary Elwes as CEO of Themiscyra Industries, Tracie Thoms as Etta Candy.
Tracie Thoms - excellent.
What is Wonder Woman's nemesis called?
Tracie Thoms as Etta Candy.
Crap, now I'm actually going to have to watch this beyond the pilot. Well, if there is more than just the pilot.
Oh god, I hate this episode of Being Human. I mean, the one this is obviously cribbing from. I was never convinced by how they came back from it.
I only remember the broad outlines of the original episode. I like the basic idea of people thinking they are different kinds of monsters than the literal monsters they are, but I don't recall how it resolved in the neighborhood.
Anyway, what stood out for me in tonight's episode is that I am not liking Sally.
The mother obviously changes her mind, because her son ends up being vamped to save his "life", but what of the rest of the neighbourhood?
I actually liked Sally more this week than before. Her getting that Josh was going through hell made a difference to me.
However, I was a little O_o at Norah saying she doesn't like that kinda sex regularly. Cmon! Live a little. Okay, that's judgy. But she's essentially turning down Sam Winchester here, and that makes no sense.
