Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business 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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

You are all one degree away from C. Thomas Howell. They filmed the movie "Tank" on the Army base that my family lived on, and I met him. there's a photo somewhere in my parents' house.

"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

Did you see subtext in that scene? I just saw two paralysed guys, and a nutbag saying weird things.

I didn't see subtext within the context of the scene. But as both cast and showrunner seem very aware of the ship, I figure it was thrown in deliberately as a wink on a meta level (hence, Matt's taunting).

Stiles is very weird about Danny, bordering on harrassment. As in "how dare you not find me attractive!"

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

I guess I feel it's very meta, and it's not actually leaking into the canon at all. And for all the explosion across my dash and the fics I've read and the fanart I've oohed and ahhed at--I dunno. I feel there are ships that the writers give you a couple building blocks for, even if they're not gonna go anywhere with them, and there are some they just freely admit you ship--and Sterek is the latter, not the former.

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

Did uou see him on Southland or Criminal Minds?

No. I've never watched either of those.

I'm rewatching S1 of Teen Wolf. If there's Sterek here, I'll find it. In the meanwhile, I'd really like my dash to have fewer pictures of naked putatively 16 year old kids in the embrace of similarly naked 20 something year olds.

Oh, and, Stiles love: [link]

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

If you can't find it in the episode where Stiles nearly has to cut Derek's arm off, you may be dead.

I'm dead, or I'm recalibrated. I see it between other people more than I see it between them. I'd so much rather see Stiles/Danny than Sterek at this point. Jackson/Isaac, or Isaac/Boyd. But...Stiles it the hot-cuz-funny guy, and Derek is the hot-cuz-hot guy, and they play around with it off script, and the script will give nod to that, but it's not the same thing as subtext.

I'm watching last night's ep now, because I sense my dash will be aflutter with whatever. And I don't want to be spoilt or try and avoid all day. I did not expect Isaac to be the one to nut up. I was liking Boyd so much better.

Aaargh! So, even though I expanded the recording time, I am flouted again. My copy cuts off right after the Sheriff notices that Stiles isn't there. WHAT HAPPENS???? I am ahemming a copy, but I can't wait until I get home to know.

Damn, they are really ramping shit up for the end of the season. And look at my baby on the field! And his daddy's so proud! And Lydia's so different from where she is in my S1 rewatch. I like her arc/reveal.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's a very well-paced season so far -- I'm really impressed by how all the arcs are coming together.
