'Sleeper'


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 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

At least with most of the principals being fae there's better justification than usual for everyone choosing the highest-drama option.

Damn, Falling Skies really annoys me. It has so much potential, and it just pisses it away with bad writing. The characters (with the possible exception of Colin Cunningham's Pope, who is an unmitigated asshole and thus really entertaining) are bland bland bland. Blandly heroic or blandly supportive or blandly Black Guy or blandly Vietnamese Guy or blandly Love Interest.

Feh. They're spending a lot of money on it but it's all on the effects & staging, and not on the scripts. Such a pity.

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

Let me say, I love the spirit of abandon that Teen Wolf has. They're totes homoeroticism yay? every eroticism yay! and laughing at themselves. Dude, the bestiality riff...so freaking juvenile. Also? Amusing.

And Stiles is worth the price of admission every damned time. I hope Dylan O'Brien gets lots of work when this show is over.

(And, good god, if someone would just write me Dean/Stiles, I'd be their best friend forever)

Eureka:

The actor who played Allison's brother in this week's episode is her real life husband. I remember him when he was on All My Children.

Korra: Lin Bei Fong? Complete bad ass! And I totally teared up when General Iroh came on the scene. As much as I'm enjoying Korra (and I really am), I wonder why they didn't just do this Amon storyline with the original crew as adults. I find that I get the most satisfaction from the series when I see or hear about those characters, and other than Lin (who I will reiterate is a COMPLETE BAD ASS), I'm not really feeling any of the Korra crew like I did our original heroes. Maybe that will change, but I find myself wishing we were seeing this story with them instead.

Glamcookie: I suspect that it would be hard to have so much social/technological change happen within the young lifetime of the ATLA cast, and possibly because the writers felt they'd told enough of their story?

Oh, I really like the new crew. I love Korra, and Bolin is great, and Tenzin is interesting, and Asami is hot (and a badass non-bender [but also hot]). And the kids rule. The only character I'm not really into as much is Mako.
