Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

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.

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

Good job, P-C!

Yeah, full-brained Walter is very Walternate like. But we saw bits of that in the flashback episodes.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Problem with the link: nick.com is not a directory within buffistas.org

I believe that that will be my reward for when I get my kitchen/dining room clean.

Sorry, fixed the link.

Huh, so if only the Avatar has ever had that power (which, btw, is an awesomely stakes-raising power for an opponent to have. Anyone taking bets on who gets theirs ganked?), then that lends some credence to the truth being something not entirely unlike what Amon was saying.

Also, holy character parallels all over the place, Batman!

MAKO IS BATMAN.

I'm still a little skeptical of Amon's power, though. It didn't look like when Aang did it. Why would the Spirit World speak to him, of all people, and not, you know, Korra? She needs to get spiritual FAST and get to the bottom of this.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm still a little skeptical of Amon's power, though.

I'm also skeptical of his origin story. It's a perfect excuse for wearing a mask, allowing him to go incognito with his bare face.

Yep, that too.

Prevalent fan theory is that he's actually chi-blocking, not energybending, which makes total sense.

I'm also skeptical

Of course. Clearly Amon is not entirely on the up-and-up, even beyond the whole "using his position to increase the divide in society for his own benefit" thing. I do wonder if he'll end up being connected to someone we know.

It didn't look like when Aang did it.

It's been too long since I watched Avatar, as I don't recall this.

It's interesting that the Chi-blockers also use what are essentially Tazers. It almost seems like they're setting up a science/religion divide (which would lead me to think that Amon is putting a spiritual face on a non-spiritual maneuver).
