No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Early ,'Objects In Space'


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 else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Is that not how you pronounce it? Wikipedia says it's one of two pronunciations.

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

I like thinking of them as ankle biters no matter how it is pronounced.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Alternate timeline.

This is the answer to everything!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Plots from the unaired Season 8 of ST:TNG.

Tough to pick a favorite.

"A duplicate Enterprise with a duplicate crew proves to be a nanobot/Borg evolutionary leap. Riker's trombone gains sentience, grows a beard."

or maybe

A sentient nebula chases the ship, which has nowhere to hide, because usually it would be in a nebula. Data adopts a dog, snake, and parrot.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Erin started a comment thread on Facebook about Once Upon A Time and the evil queen talking about Honeycrisp apples, and then offering what was clearly a Red Delicious.

I thought I would also mention it here, as we talk about the show here as well.

Basicaally my response is that Andi and I rolled our eyes at that, too. Plus, she has had a Honeycrisp tree since she was a little girl? Um, the U of M only released the Honeycrisp for production in 1991. Good thing Emma can spot a liar. Or, you know, look it up on the Internet.

She should have followed up with, "But here, have a Red Delicious. It looks great, but tastes like crap."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

'Alternate timeline' also qualifies for Once Upon A Time, with perhaps more justification. :-)

Art Crawl!!!

Thank you, Erin. Because I commented loudly to my tv and to my co-workers on Monday who did not get it.

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

My question about Once Upon a Time is if no one ages there, how is the boy given up for adoption 10 years ago a 10 year old boy and not still a baby?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Magic. Alternate reality. Handwavium.

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.

Not aging is due to the curse, not the town. Baby boy was born in our world, so not subject to the curse. Suspect that is true of the kids in the school. Wonder if the town inhabitants that are born there are starting to notice that most of the inhabitants are not aging.
