'Get It Done'


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.

So, I'm watching Teen Wolf, and I'm enjoying it, and I love me some Stiles more than I've loved anyone since Kenzie (wait...OMG...that would be amazing...) and Derek is sure tall dark and silent (okay, he's probably not all that tall).

However, where does Sterek come from, other than it would be as hot as shit and all the other guys are taken? I'm not seeing any actual subtext, and this ship seems to be the primary non-canon ship in the fandom.

I am saying this as a Sterek-in-my-free-time shipper. It's not like Dean/Castiel or Peter/Neal where I can point to the canon that I am launching a ship from, and lots of it. Or like Dean/Sam where I can say where other people are. It's more like Sam/Gabriel and a best-possible-spare pairing.

What episodes should I be looking at? MTV just aired the series opener again, so maybe I'll get to see them all over in short order.

I'm coming to believe that non-canon ships should come with primers for the newbies, including episode guides.

Unrelated to all of that, and on the topic of a canon ship, Scott and Allison getting together is adorable as all get out. I love those two. I think it's great that the fandom isn't shoving her aside and putting Scott with Stiles.

"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

Particularly since the actors live together. In SPN fandom, that would mean they're secretly married!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

However, where does Sterek come from

I'd say probably from the snark. There have been one or two episodes were Derek and Stiles have been forced to work together and there was some good snark.

Is there any actual relationship subtext?

Not that I can recall.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

There are some seriously adorable Teen Wolf gifs on this thread (just scroll on down past the Teen Choice Awards winners). Cute boys!

Um, and here's the link: [link]

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Okay. This is awesome: [link]

That is definitely not how I've seen most of the SuperWho go (and it's mostly SuperWhoLock, because there's Sherlock in everything these days). Interesting.

The Henson Company just posted a Youtube playlist "in memory of Jonathan Hardy", but I can't find any other information. IMDB has nothing, nor Google News.

(Jonathan Hardy was the voice and eyebrows of Rygel XVIth.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
