Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'


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.

Let me recommend heartily Steve Gould's 7TH SIGMA where alien bug-robots like to eat conductive metals. (don't go near them if you have metal fillings or a pacemaker.). It was the sort of scenario that made my sense of logic pleased.

I think I talked before about a Spider Robinson novel where there were electricity eating aliens - ate electricity from any source that had over a certain voltage OR over a certain total wattage. So most electronic devices did not work. (This was in the 80s when there were not so many low power devices around.) For the writers convenience, the number was not specified but no generators, no household appliances, no radar and sonar even off battery. So conveniently did not have to worry about violations of laws of physics or life dropping dead, but no lightbulbs, or any of the stuff we depend on electricity for.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

While it probably will not top the Farscape mind switch episode, I'm LOVING this Eureka so far.

Sweet episode overall.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Anything inside a Faraday cage would be protected from EMP.

So stick your electronics inside an old Microwave oven...or a lot of them.

I assume a TARDIS corset is relevant to our interests?

Ha! I ADORE Body Switch Comedy, so I'm glad Eureka got that ticked off its Bucket List!

Points to "Zach" for the best Sheriff Carter impression.
