Mal ,'War Stories'


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.

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

Wow. I can't believe I like Kenzi. But I do, even though she was COLOSSALLY stupid this week. In fact, I like her more than Bo still, because she has a heart.

The actress playing Bo is very pretty, but I don't get succubus. In a way, I guess it lends credence to the supernatural component, because it's not like those vibes are coming through my TV, but I'd like to feel a bit more seduced. She's a decent action heroine, but suddenly I'm left wanting in the sexual heroine category.

The relationship stuff is for crap. Just because actual real grownups do act that way doesn't make it even marginally entertaining.

Well she does not seem to have the acting skill of the woman playing Kenzie. Tbough Le Nubian says she gets better.

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

ha! yes. and Kenzie has grown on me, but in Season 2, I think Kenzie has/displays a serious alcohol problem and I cannot get past that.

LeN, I'm pretty up front about loving Dean Winchester's alcohol problem. Do you think it will still turn me off?

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

hmm. that's interesting actually because I am neutral about Dean's alcohol problem. It has been an issue for so long and is so much a part of his character that I'm okay with the portrayal. For the character in question, it is only addressed ONCE and some really shitty things happen prior and none of those have been discussed. at all. I feel like there have been serious problems and yet no behavior change. It's insanity.

Ah, I see. I think the one I love (LOVE, I tell you) has been really well presented, somehow both morally neutrally and responsibly at the same time, and I guess I worry about it being taken lightly or too judgey judgey. Things got ramifications, yo.

My memory is awful. Why does that particular subject need to be whitefonted?

Also with you on the relationship. In addition, it seems like lack of honesty is there just to add angst that could be avoided by honest explanation. As in "Darling, I'm not strong enough physically to handle a monogamous relationship with you. You might not kill me, but if I'm your only source of sex you will hurt and weaken me. Which could get me killed. So as a matter of not harming me you need to see other people. I want to have sex with you, I love to have sex with you, but if I'm to have sex with you without being harmed, you have to give me a rest and see other people and space out how often we get together in that sense. In between, we can hang."

Because it hasn't happened yet.

If Bo can now have sex without weakening people, it seems they don't even need to have half of that discussion. She can just turn off the power-drain sometimes.

Ah, a show with a murderer protagonist who wants to dial it down to just rape. Good times, good times.

Bo can't have sex without weakening people. She can have sex without killing people. She did not weaken the guard enough, but he did fall to the floor.

Sorry. If she can now have sex without killing people, she should be able to have better sex with the cop. I mean, if she was supposed to have sex with the doctor next...
