'Dirty Girls'


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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Audrey seems oblivious to Nathan's feelings because we as the audience is privy to Nathan's stoic pining, but it's probably not as clear-cut from Audrey's POV. Plus, Nathan's feelings for Audrey have got to be pretty complicated. She's his partner and friend, and he cares for her deeply and trusts her implicitly, but I reckon it's tough for him to tell apart if his feelings for her are truly romantic in nature or stem from the fact that he has been touch-starved for so long and she's his only reprieve. I think he's quite conscious about not trying not to lay any kind of emotional burden on her with this whole touching thing.

And Audrey knows how intimate even a casual touch can be to Nathan. She touches him rarely, especially since the reveal that he could feel her, and when she does, it always means something. Like that moment after he gives up his regained sense of touch for that girl who was seen as everyone's worst fear, or here, when she touches him to halt his protests for his own safety.

I ship them pretty hard, but I actually don't want this to become overtly romantic at any moment soon. There are lots more interesting things to explore about Audrey's ability and her presence in Haven before we get to "will they get it on?"

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

Fun Eureka, and glad to see Wallace Shawn (though I hated his ultimatum to Jack and Allison). And it looks like he's around another week, so who knows what wackiness will ensue.

Alphas - LOVED Summer Glau in that role, and there can't be any way that the kid's name wasn't a shout out, is there?

What I want to know is how did this never become an issue for Allison and Stark before? I would think having a child together might imply an even closer relationship between high-security-clearance people than Allison and Carter's relationship.

But weren't they married? (Or am I confused?)

Maybe these rules only exist in this universe and not the previous one before they changed time? Or they were reviewed when they were married and they passed and it never came up again?

Oh, duh - it could totally be a different timeline situation.

I guess. It just seems really weird that they'd suddenly decide a relationship between two people judged worthy of high clearance that don't directly report to one another and have worked together to solve the town's science catastrophe of the week about a hundred times would suddenly present a problem. I get that there could be sensitive information each couldn't talk to the other about, but that seems like it would be true for anyone with a high clearance no matter who they're dating.

I think Allison said something about it normally only being a formality, but the recent issues with her were causing the DoD to look at her more closely.

Loved Doctor Who as cats or cats as Doctor Who.

i09 has a piece on the "10 Totally Different TV Shows that Doctor Who has Been over the Years".
