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.
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.
This makes sense, but time was not moving in the town before Emma showed up so that to me means nothing and no one should be able to age.
I'll probably give the show a couple more episodes. Mainly to see if they give Rumplestillskin anything interesting to do because I like the actor. However, the first two episodes only left me with a craving for hot chocolate with cinnamon.
I wonder if they're going with the conceit that EVERYONE in the town, except Henry, is part of the curse, even the little kids.
The "why is only one kid aging" thing would probably be answered with handwavium.
Maybe part of the curse makes the people in town not question weird stuff that happens?
Did anyone notice the smile on Regina's face the last two shots of the tree "pruning" scene? she was enjoying the challenge.
(Or there was slash in the air.)
Did anyone see the first part of the new NOVA series hosted by Brian Greene last night? I feel like it should come to this thread, because some of the stuff they talked about, like the Holographic Principle, seems even too far-fetched for a Sci-Fi story. Whoa.
I did! But you know that. I gave you kudos in Natter last night for linking it, and then shared with Cass - well, and everyone, of course. I also blamed you for sending me down the awesome science rabbit hole for hours last night when I should have been writing or cooking instead. You know what? TOTALLY worth it. WHAT.
Aw, that was nice of you. I don't usually go into Natter so didn't know there was a conversation happening there.
I'm still not over the whole "WHAT" bit. I can't help but think that Leonard Susskind must have been exaggerating when he said most of the theoretical physics community is now accepting of the whole "yes, the universe is a 2-D hologram" theory because, well, it looks like he's the biggest name behind the theory right now. Or at least that's the impression I got after a 2 minutes perusal of the Holographic Principle wiki page, where I only understood about one sentence out of 10. (Also, because the whole thing makes my head go exploidy).
Uh, topic. While browsing the NOVA page, I found this cute interview with the "science guys" for Fringe! [link]
Apparently Brian Greene showed up on
Big Bang Theory
at some point. Wouldn't it be cool if he did a cameo on
Fringe?
Although if it's anything like the relationship I have with House, he probably can't stand to watch the ridiculous science Walter sprouts out day-in and day-out.
