Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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 haven't been feeling sympathetic to Jack or Alison lately, and am mostly in this show for Fargo and Holly right now.
In this specific scenario, I have feelings about cabins that make it hard for me to be objective, and Alison at least could have tried to have fun. Once the roof fell in on the bed, they should have checked into a hotel for the night. But up until that point all her "ew, REAL DIRT" shtick was irritating the shit out of me.
Hey--my recording of Teen Wolf ran short. It cut out after the reptile shifter (confirmed as Jackson?) ran away from the car after the touching bonding moment.
a) I don't know whose car that was--are we supposed to know from the bumper sticker, and b) anything else happen afterwards?
As far as Alison goes--they had her initially react to Jack's building a relationship/putting down roots motivation and metaphor, and I can't really see her reaction as anything not including a rejection of that. Taken in its entirety, that is. I don't know if another actress might have convinced me, or the writing was absolute. But I didn't get much nuance in Salli's countenance--Grace had much more.
And, damn. Henry liable for shit he didn't do. He's the one bearing most of the load from the time travel reset (I like that it didn't go away), and this...
While I had no sympathy for Carrie Bradshaw accepting an invitation to a country cabin and then proceeding to shriek at every sight of nature as if squirrels were the monsters from Aliens, I think someone who is clearly and vocally excited about a luxurious tropical resort honeymoon and then gets bait-and-switched with the cabin from The Evil Dead 10 miles from home has legitimate cause for griping. And any one of (1)collapsing floorboards, (2)plumbing spraying black slime, or (3) roof caving in would be a good reason to leave at once in my book.
As for Carter's "that's not me; this is me" BS, he lives in the house from the frickin' Jetsons. I do not recall an aversion to modern conveniences/luxury or an impulse to restore derelict wilderness retreats being an established part of his character to date.
ita, I don't know whose car it was. After the creature runs away, Lydia wanders out of the house and wants to know what is going on, and the rest of them realize the lizard creature wasn't her and was Jackson.
They wander out before the car scene, because my recording ends when he gets to the other side of the street. So nothing else, no conversation.
I guess they could get away with it being a new character, but that takes away the punch...I mean, unless it's the coach. He'd love to be a shifter.
ita, I'm not following you. You saw the part where they say it was Jackson but you don't believe them?
The show has shown him with a patch of skin on his neck, but do you think that was his conversion scene?
I'm just saying--I think at this point the show could introduce someone else. I mean they said it was Lydia--did you believe that?
If it is Jackson, do you think the person who edited his tape was in the car?

Well, the commercials were saying they were going to reveal who it was this week, so yes I believe it. And I think there was a shot at the end that I am just remembering where they showed a close up of the monsters face and it looked like Jackson. I never thought it was Lydia, but I think Lydia is something and I am looking forward to finding out what.
If it is Jackson, do you think the person who edited his tape was in the car?
Possibly, but I really don't know.

All of this. I would have gone home IMMEDIATELY. Spend a couple of weekends fixing up the place, making it habitable, and then fine. But to walk in and stay in it like that? No. And for your honeymoon? Without consultation? HELL NO.
Which supernatural show would you give top points to for worldbuilding? Both in terms of cribbing from "real" lore and in terms of internal consistency?
(I hope the answer isn't ATLA, because I haven't seen much of it yet--still working on that)
