Hey, evil dead, you're in my seat.

Xander ,'First Date'


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.

Oh, man, Astrid breaks my heart. Jasika Nicole is wonderful.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, Fringe. I love all your universes and timelines.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

The Girl and I have done our thing where we catch up with a series in a couple of months. We are now totally in love with Fringe. This last episode was wonderful. Who'd have thought the other Astrid would be so endearing a character?

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

Me! Me! Me!

Actually, a lot of people have been bemoaning the lack of exposure and respect Jasika got in general, because she was obviously busting with good stuff. I'm glad her fan base got not just a double dose, but such an emotionally diverse and satisfying one.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Too much opinion for just one persona?

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

saw this about ONE of the two "Beauty and the Beast" remakes (from the 1980s tv series with Linda Hamilton):

Vincent [The Beast] worked as a doctor at the New York University hospital – and was working on September 11, 2001 when the towers came down. Long story short, a wounded Vincent ends up in a medical clinic where he's injected with a DNA-changing drug. The drug turns him into an unstoppable soldier type that is used in Afghanistan. Think ‘Captain America' or a ‘Universal Soldier'. Unfortunately, the strength and stamina comes with a price…it also changes Vincent's look - in particular, hair sprouts hair everywhere.

When he returned from Afghanistan, looking like he is, he hid himself away- – with the help of T.J. [his roommate with a Wii and an endless supply of beer.

This sounds completely terrible.

Nothing about this sounds good.

I enjoyed the show when it was on. George R.R. Martin was ... script supervisor? definitely involved.

There's a Wii in it! I'm not sure why that's even part of the dealbreaker, but I just can't take that seriously.
