Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'


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.

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

Crixus can totally act. And is willing to do full frontal.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Sadly, I doubt the CW will be willing to exploit that willingness.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I doubt CW will fully exploit the former either.

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

Yeah, we totally can't think of a couple CW shows with people acting in them, can we? No one here watches any, that's for sure.

Yeah, but isn't this on Arrow?

The Arrow with Colin Salmon? I'm certainly not going to talk smack about anyone's opportunity to act just because their costars can't. There's nothing he's failed to convince me of yet. Hell, aside from the lead, I think everyone's doing a fine job. There's some room between Shakespeare and the 5th grade Christmas play. I'm not mad at the channel that gives me Supernatural. Plenty of places an actor can exceed their material. After shooting the director, natch.

Art Crawl!!!

I agree with ita - there is plenty of good acting on Arrow. Even Katie Cassidy has improved amazingly since her stint on SPN.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I'm having trouble with Cpt Jack Harkness being the dad of a grown up son. It was just jarring! And when was his character introduced?

Was it in the episode where he had Moira in his office? My CW feed has been crappy for weeks so I miss a lot. I've been catching up on Hulu, but I'm wondering if I missed an episode.

He was a mysterious person in a limo meeting with Ollie's mom for a number of weeks before we saw who he was.

TVD: Okay, so my thoughts about Jeremy and the hunters are that it totally makes sense that there should be a population of mystical hunters that go after the creatures whose primary prey is human. But, I also think that Jeremy is just starting out and part of his training ought to be learning to control the impulses that have him dreaming scenarios where he kills his sister, her boyfriend, etc.

It's interesting that in TVD-verse werewolves are marked as murderers (in the most basic meaning) by the simple fact that they are werewolves. In theory, you could have the possibility of being a werewolve but never murder anyone and therefore never turning.

I doubt that the show will do anything interesting with this but they could.

I think the show forgets that most people go through pretty long lives without taking anyone else's. Whereas in Mystic Falls they do that instead of bake sales.
