Mal: Inara, think you could stoop to being on my arm? Inara: Will you wash it first?

'Heart Of Gold'


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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Thank you. I tried to look for the air date but the internet didn't behave.

So. Instead of going through the motions of everything that is horribly wrong with Moffat's ideas for DW, I'll ask this: anyone else thinks Angel's Are You Now or Have You Ever Been a was much better version of the story?

Yup. I said this last night to my friends while watching it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I don't see the similarity?

Being trapped in a hotel room by a being who is in some way feeding off of you.

And reconsidering just how much can you/do you need to trust others, who happen to be human beings, while you're not.

Guilt is also in both episodes, though it is used differently.

Once Upon a Time: I didn't realize Michael Raymond-James was going to be in the show this season! That might make me stick around.

The status is NOT quo.

Okay, have watched DW. Teary, but I agree it could have been worse. I did feel like the whole episode was a bit rushed, though. It feels like it could have been two episodes rather than one.
