Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Dawn ,'Sleeper'


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.

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

This must be fun for the actors, to play so many different versions of their characters. The shades of difference in the 4 different Olivias, Lees, Walters...very impressive acting chops!

Seriously, dammit!

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

Joshua Jackson is so lazy.

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

He's Pacey. He's already proven himself. Who are the rest of these new kids?

Chuck is making me both sad and exasperated. I have issues with the whole "getting out of the industry to be *normal*" storylines. I think it makes the whole previous series sadder, and I don't think most stories segue without making me feel like what came before isn't being devalued. Fight forever, fuckit! Don't ruin my dreams!

But it also feels so damned textbook that if they do retire, it's not yet. So any tension--there isn't even any tension. Just waiting for "okay, what goes wrong with the plan now?"

Also, the intersect as the source of all pain. That was only slightly inevitable. Slightly.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Now that I have seen James VDB be good in other things, I think it makes JJ seem even more talented for being good on Dawson's Creek!

Re Grimm: Monroe continues to be awesome. Far better Grimm than Nick. Really, we are watching the story of the hero Monroe and his sidekick Nick. Just seeing from the sidekicks point of view so it takes a while to realize it.

Cause this was the right place the first time.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, Fringe.

Shapeshifter Brandon! And now Walternate is pulling at my heartstrings? How do they do that? Is Col. Broyles a shapeshifter?! Hellooo, Mr. Jones. Please don't let September die (even though Cerveris has Broadway commitments)! Observers don't have alternate versions. Which Olivia has to die? Just the Amber-timeline one? One of them, all of them? How does blue-verse Olivia's Mr. X figure in? Does he exist in both timelines?

Please excuse my stream-of-consciousness.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think Fringe would be the one show that finlly leaves me utterly lost and confused.

In truth, I gave up on Fringe in the first season when they magnetized gold.
