Weird love's better than no love.

Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'


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.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, they keep introducing black characters and then making them peripheral at which point they get killed off.

It's too bad they didn't kill off Luxe's nemesis from Secret Circle.

ETA: I kept on cutting them slack but you're right: they've used up all their breaks and need to do something.

OTOH, you can totally watch Last Resort (or as I keep wanting to call it "Lost Resort") in the same time frame).

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

I'll try catching up on that.

Grr. Just...grr.

Hand in hand with killing the two last black guys is: THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG. I know Tyler yelled at Caroline about Chris, but Connor was trying to fucking save lives. I am also way past the inverted moral compass. I was watching around it, thinking it was just a show not about heroes, and all shows don't need heroes, but by now I think it's a show where the protagonists are the bad guys, but the text doesn't damn them for it.

It's true - the protagonists have no big picture. Maybe ultimately, Jeremy is our future hero. He is a hunter and if he actually escapes from his sister and her boyfriends . . . he could have a chance to team up with Bonnie and kill enough vampires to find that cure.

Connor was clearly a nutbag. I don't want to make it look like holding hostage is the way the good good guys do it. But that town is infested with monsters, and at this point? There are humans on the bad guys side too.

And I have no idea what's the deal with April or how old she is. That just got more confusing, not less.

Yeah, April's age makes no sense. . . but I can't decide if that is a ridiculous oversight or some sort of plot point.

I like Last Resort well enough. Mostly to see Andre Braugher pwn everyone else on the screen, including (not least) Scott Speedman, who just isn't up to Braugher's weight class.

... but I forget, where are we supposed to talk about that show? Natter? Even though it's a geopolitical AU?

Uh, I don't know.

Although, it clearly is a fantasy of some sort.

I'd think here would be the right place for Last Resort. It's either AU or in the future.

My main problem with Last Resort is that I can't seem to follow the politics on the island , except that it's run by a bad guy and it may have untold mineral riches. The older I get, the more I want everyone to wear name tags.

Gah, I am so pissed off at TVD! What the hell?

I haven't watched last night's Last Resort yet, but I can't ever follow the political situation on the island or off. When Andre Braugher tells me what's happening, I believe him, otherwise I have no idea. But that works for me.

I did a marathon and I must have skipped an ep because I'm constantly going WTF is going on?
