And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Willow ,'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.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

@sherrif_Rick posted [link] ratings for last night. I'm kind of having fun reading the character plays on twitter.

But Andrea, for all her upset, is still one of the more determined and level-headed in the company. I mean, for god's sake, she just STABBED A ZOMBIE TO DEATH WITH A SCREWDRIVER.

This. Keep a level head and try to assemble a gun after only seeing it done once. Who cares if she didn't get it assembled. She used what she could get her hands on!

I'm willing to hand-wave that you can only get infected by zombie SALIVA, because if you can get it from blood contact, like AIDS, they're probably all dead from the hand-to-zombie-hand combat they've all been forced to do.

I'm with P-C and Theodosia. I kept telling them to get the blood off. A couple characters keep getting the blood on their face. Geez. Also, the guy that got his arm cut last night was just wearing a bandage? It was spurting like an arterial bleed.

I did see some compliments on twitter about how realistic AMC was being. Bwahahahahaha.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...freeze solid in the winter? Or at least might get a bit more slowed down?)

Zombies shuffle at the speed of plot.

I like these zombies. You can out walk them if you need to. They don't do that crazy horror movie run that is too scary to watch.

Art Crawl!!!

I'm with dcp, I thought that the deer was going to be a zombie. . . did not expect the shot at all.

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

For people who have read the graphic novels, I think something like this occurred. So when the shot happened, I wasn't surprised.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I was joking with my mum that the deer would go zombie and gore the kid. Imagine my surprise!

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

My problem with zombie stories is always administrative. Like, if I have a gun, the fuck you're taking it away from me.

Or, really, you were keeping watch and failed to notice the giant zombie herd until it was ten feet away?

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Does anyone know how many episodes we get? Is it six like last season? I need more. I need one tonight.

Watched Terra Nova tonight. Malcolm continues giving me the wiggens even when he's helping.

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

I think we get 13 eps this time around.

I hope some day someone does an only-the-dinosaurs version of Terra Nova.
