Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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.

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

I am not swayed in my liking of her. And by "her" I mean precisely as much of her as she's shared on Tumblr, and not one whit more.

She still seems pretty lovely to me. Plus, girl uses funny tags, and I dig funny tags.

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

But do you think she's perfect?

...No? I suppose I have no evidence either way, but I'm going to stick with...no.

Then you're probably not one of the people she's trying to avoid.

Poor Jasika Nicole. I get her discomfort and I'm glad she did it in such a productive way. Fuck people who make it about them and not about the person they supposedly admire. She has a right to her discomfort and privacy.

I would much, much rather have a celebrity disengage politely with social media fans than have them stay involved in increasing discomfort out of some sense of obligation.

I'm kinda irritated that Saskia turned out not just to be chaotic neutral, but what seems to be evil. I feel like too many steps and coincidences are in place to keep Bo from finding out not just about her specific personal history, but also about what it means to live as a succubus. Can't you have a mystery about the former and make some progress on the latter? It seems a bit unlikely to me, that even though she's not swearing allegiance to light or dark, that she can't find any sort of information about how to live with what she is.

I'm okay with her wising up a bit.

Still love Kenzie to bits.

Weirded out by Dyson's possessiveness. It strikes me kind of like those people that start dating cops and then get upset they risk their lives every day.

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

Kenzi and the siren betting on when Bo and Dyson would next blow up was my favorite part of this ep.

That was pretty cool.

Interesting that the siren is a) male and b) not sexy. I can see that they wouldn't go with the traditionally sexy siren since the main character is a succubus, and that would be confusing and distracting, but what you're left with is a bit weird, powers wise.

And, lord, I wish Anna Silk were more sensual. There were times during this ep where I thought she should be just oozing it, and...nothing. Frustrating.
