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.

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...

Well the point is not killing people is done by restraining how much sex she has, stopping before she or the other person is satisfied. I guess she could stop weakening the cop, if she knew she was weakening him, by the same thing - stopping short of the full all out sex they love. I suspect they would both rather have mind blowing sex less often than just good sex more often. But in terms of emotional intimacy, maybe you are right. Or they could mix and match. Restrained sometime, unrestrained sometimes, just keep the total combination sufficient so she did not weaken him. Which would still require sex with other people to keep up her strength, especially if she is going to require healing regularly.

Up until this week, she didn't seem to be in control of that of stopping in time. Now she is. If that was the problem with sex with the cop, it seems to be very underway to being solved, and he knows that. If it's not the problem, then I'm not sure what is.

The problem with the cop is that she is "taking too much". But apparently from the cop's conversation with the Siren he really likes her "taking too much". approximation:"Remember that nymph". Siren makes appreciation noises. "Lost her number and I don't even care." So if she wants to not weaken the cop but continue to see him romantically she has two choices. As you say, she can stop in time. Or she can't not stop in time, but see him less often. In either case she will get less sexual energy from him and need to see other people. That is true in general. She can't get all she needs from one fae (unless that fae can take more than the cop). She certainly can't get all she needs from one human. If she is not going to kill, she is going to have to date multiple people.

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

Fringe cast talks about tonight's episode. [link] Also, Blair Brown's name for alt-Nina is Meana. Heh.

I saw that earlier, and I can't wait! I loved Joshua Jackson's (that's his name, right? I should just call him Pacey) "... hot Observer on Observer action, but only on the internet. Fox won't show that." He cracked himself up!
