Buffy ,'Potential'


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.

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

If there were some sort of conspiracy about what the fuck is going on with him, that would be more interesting.

See, I would hate that a lot, I'm pretty sure.

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

Well, the point is, there doesn't need to be a conspiracy about anything.

On that point, we are in agreement.

I almost always do not like conspiracies in television plots. Part of it is a left-over X-Files twitch, and the rest is from my inability to believe in large-scale conspiracies because my experience says no group of people can keep a secret for very long. In terms of drama, my experience is that few television conspiracies stay consistent or ultimately make a lick of sense.

So - Grimm last night. Monroe continues awesome, after being downplayed a bit for two episodes. Also, one scene (quoting from memory but pretty close) had one of the shortest examples of contrast in acting ability I've seen on the show.

Monroe(facial expression shows worry) You do have a plan don't you? You just have not gotten around to sharing it yet

Nick(probably his face is supposed to convey "plan, what plan?", but really all we see is no change from his usual blank expression.

Monroe(totally horrified, reacting as though Nick's face had conveyed what it is supposed) Oh. My. God. (As he realizes that they are about to face a dragon, pardon draken-Fuherer, with weapons that are completely useless against that species and no plan or idea of what they are doing.)

Two lines; acting ability chasm between the actors the size of the Grand Canyon.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Isn't the show's protagonist played by one of the contestants from Road Rules?

DVR ALERT: Tomorrow's Alcatraz is the episode we missed, "Clarence Montgomery," but the DVR isn't picking it up as new. Set it manually so you don't miss it again!

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

For some reason, my TiVo doesn't have it listed as 1.08. That totally confused me. Luckily I sloppily set my season pass, so it was getting repeats anyway. But I was just checking to see which one it picked up last night, and was confused.
