Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Giles ,'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.

Thanks for taking one for the team, Ginger.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The reviews were pretty hilarious.

Thanks for taking one for the team, Ginger.

It was only because I can't watch more than five minutes of Paul Ryan without throwing things at the television.

B&tB might be somewhat better if it had actors who have more than two expressions. The Beast's two expressions are brooding and bad makeup.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Sepinwall and Feinberg HATED B&B. I decided to completely beg off the show because they went on a 10 minute rant about it on the podcast.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

thing is I LOVED the original. Just loved the show. I was boo-hooing every Friday night with that show.

I'm not sure I can even consider a remake.

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

I don't remember the Beast any, but that's because the Beauty drove me away with her insipidity. She's quite remarkably miscast as a cop. Not since the Charlie's Angels remake have I been less convinced by a woman in any sort of position of physical and psychological authority--in fact, they may have been better at it than her.

Bully for her for continuing to pay the rent and all that, but..someone lost a chance at a mediocre show here (and I don't mean Katee Sackhoff). It's sad to think that when the people in charge thought "beauty!" "with a gun!" that buttery-eyed Kristin is the best they could do.

There are projects out there with her name on them. This isn't it, because they're mostly on Lifetime.

Well that would have put to rest any question that Rory and Amy ended up together and happy.
