Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Heh. That was the edition of Blade Runner.

Doh.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

One of my recent top pick suggestions was a burlesque documentary, which didn't have a Based On listing. I actually probably would be interested in watching it for the underground culture aspect, but I wouldn't think my queue full of gay rom-coms and indies would scream "Here's a guy who's interested in the history of women taking their clothes off!"

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Apropos of nothing.

Haven: Now in 2nd season of taking classic horror tropes and making them less cool.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I thought Friday's ep was in line with season 1. What did I miss?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Still catching up on Alphas, but Gary is possibly my favorite character in a sci-fi show ever. Neither the show or the actor is condescending on the condition (as far as I can tell), and I love that he has a distinct sense of humor. Among other things, I love how much he gets up in Bill's grill knowingly.

Other than a lack of Zoe, I enjoyed last night's Eureka quite thoroughly.

NOthing. It made horror tropes less cool in Season one and was continuing to do so in season 2.

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

Yup, another good Eureka. Jack looks nice in a suit, but I think I miss the uniform already.

Warehouse 13, on the other hand . . . cognitive dissonance with Fargo.

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

I could barely pay attention to WH13. I liked Eureka and Alphas better.
