Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

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.

He also went out and ruthlessly ambushed a bunch of US soldiers, presumably because he felt the mere existence of any other figures of authority/order would be a threat to him ruling Pleasantville. Being harsh in protecting your own people against an immediate threat might be something okay people do, but looking to murder people who don't even know you exist doesn't qualify in my book.

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

And although Merle was a lying liar who lies to him, I don't get the impression that their ideas of who gets killed in a day's work are too disparate. Merle just didn't want to get in trouble for being bested, and by a girl at that.

It's hardly a good guy being hoodwinked by a charming sociopath in his charge--I'd expect Merle is more likely to be surprised by him than him by Merle.

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

Okay, caught up.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, ANDREA. When the severed heads show up? That is the time to decamp. I'm not actually sure I can remember a character with worse decision-making skills. Possibly Lori, although I don't think she made many decisions.

Art Crawl!!!

The severed heads that still try to bite when released from the aquariums.

I've heard some speculation that given the experiments on walkers that the Governor had Milton running, there might be plausible explanations he could offer for the Marie Antoinette Aquarium. However, I think any normal person seeing that room would immediately jump to the conclusion of "crazed serial killer."

I can't reply to this. I feel like a shit sister:

The black people have lines!! I guess this is their quota for the season. I'm trying to enjoy it without thinking about that.

[ep 4]

T-Dogg even has a perspective on shit that he's like arguing and stuff! And Michonne somehow won't be killed after pretty much showing she's hip to the Govnuh?!

At least there's Tyrese, but she is going to blow a couple gaskets before she gets that far.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I've begun my Great Television Catch-Up 2012, and today I marathoned the five episodes so far of Doctor Who S7 and excuse me while I go weep in the corner for a little while.

Also, I only skimmed your TWD discussion above but I am very excited to start S3.

'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"

You should be, zuisa -- this first half of S3 has a lot to recommend it, particularly the pacing. (Survival of men of color, not so much.)

Should I wander away and come back when someone can tell me the high school student isn't viscerally unbreakable-without-torment enslaved to the murdering rapist guy?

I don't care if he knows or not, HOW IS THAT NOT CREEPY?

(And, seriously--Stefan (I have only now realised my mnemonic is that they share initials and birth order with the other brothers) seems to have missed the guilt boat, and that's why he's so popular...why can't Jeremy just kill them all...maybe now he'll have a pang?)

Apparently the sire bond in vampires only happens if the original human had feelings for the vamp who turned him/her.

Are you saying you want to know if Damian does the right thing and leaves? Or tells Elena to spurn him?
