ita, I'm not following you. You saw the part where they say it was Jackson but you don't believe them?
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.
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)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sorry, it's A:TLA.

Good god, take it back.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, those count as one thing, come on.
Maybe Game of Thrones, but I suspect there's more world building on display in the books than on the show.
Hm, I'll have to give it more thought.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hmmm. Farscape, maybe. Or Angel.
