I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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.

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

You can either stretch it to fit the screen (not a good idea when your images contain human faces) or crop the top and bottom and blow up the whole thing (not a good idea when your original image was SD to begin with).

But the industry tends to think people will freak out if they don't get an image that fills the screen, so we'll see.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Wow, not even very sophisticated. Yes, that would be lame.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

So, at DragonCon, my friend Stephen was in a bathtub with Colin.

You're friends with the DCTV guy? Cool.

Well, not close friends. Penpals? When I was recapping Jericho he emailed about it and became my official technical advisor because, god, that show. And after a few months I was all, "Hey, if you're into IF you should check out the stuff this guy I used to know in high school does," and he was all, "Er, yeah, I used to be his roommate." And then I realized he and my SIL also have mutual acquaintances, so he's like my own personal Kevin Bacon or something.

The internet is neat.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm currently re-watching last season's finale of Nikita. It was an excellent episode; I'm really looking forward to what this season brings.

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

Why is Amy so pissed about waiting 36 years? She's married to RORY.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I really, really loved that episode. Made me cry. But Doctor Who tends to do that.

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 need to see it again--there's bits of dialog here and there that I missed.

Did the episode end with Amy saying, "Where is she?"?

Art Crawl!!!

That made me cry too. Loved it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Yeah, I really liked that one.
