Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

'War Stories'


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.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Blocking the Observer mind reading seemed like a pretty good special skill.

Yeah, but she was able to teach that to other people, so I don't really think it's a Cortexaphin skill.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It seemed to come pretty naturally to her and it took Broyles a year to learn so I'm inclined to count it. It not as flashy as telekinesis, but still pretty cool.

I just watched OUAT's "The Crocodile". Hook is very, very pretty.

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

Yeah, I gotta get catching up on S2 in order. I very much felt like S2 looked like it was going to be better, but we'll see.

Also Revenge, when I get further than 8 eps in. and into a thread where it's on topic...

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

No shit. I think I won't tell Beau this because narratively it feels like they are fixing a problem. Well they certainly have a better actor.

John Noble tweeted that they've started shooting the final episode of Fringe, and... "We still don't know how the series ends. Joel is keeping us in suspense til the very end. Nerve wracking."

'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"

FWIW, I really do enjoy Dark Matters on the Science Channel -- not just because John Noble as the narrator is so clearly enjoying himself, but the recreations of science history are decently put together and correctly talk about ethical investigations. They've covered the Tuskegee syphilis study, and the Stanford prison experiment, for instance.
