Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.

'Beneath You'


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.

Where was his voice?

(I almost played that during a conference call)

Near the beginning, but I didn't check the time code.

According to IMDB, he's got a part on it, but he's not listed on the regular cast. And Lexa Doig gets to be a doctor again, what fun for her.

Art Crawl!!!

So it's more a spin-off than a copy?

That's kind of cool.

Only if the characters are less Darwin-award-winningly stupid than the original set.

I still have fond memories of the episode where they protected themselves from monsters coming out through the anomaly by piling a stack of empty cardboard boxes around it. Fun times, fun times.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So far I like Revolution more than Terra Nova but not quite as much as the first season of Lost. Mainly the acting isn't quite good enough to make me care what happens to these characters yet. But I like the story, I like the setting,and I like the look and feel.

I _loved_ Primeval...and I'm glad Andrew Lee Potts is in the sequel, but I can't really imagine liking the new version as much as seasons 1&2 of the original recipe. The cardboard box thing? Season 3.

I know I was supposed to care about Stephen & Cutter, but I couldn't get past their terrible clothing.

Me, I like Connor & Abby, and Becker. Most of the team leaders I can't get excited about, because none of them seem to have half the sense of your average SGC member. Even the last season in the UK, when they tried to enforce proper safety protocols, had way too much stupid in it. Plus Siddig El Fadil as a bad guy is just wasting potential.

The status is NOT quo.

Yep, this is where I am with Revolution as well. I liked the pilot better than the second episode. My friend J. was the prop master on the pilot and says that the original script was 100 times better than the one that reached the screen. I really wish I could have seen it.

Very much this. I was so disappointed after waiting so long for new episodes that the entire tone and drive of the original was ruined. Sigh. Such is the way.
