'Destiny'


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.

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

Dyson's interest in girl on girl seemed a bit hormonally influenced--but they were acting like spoiled five year olds with slightly bigger vocabularies.

Oh, and the Morrigan--I've never really liked the actress, but WTF is that character for??? She makes no sense, and I can't believe she's head of an entire population unless she's magically holding them in thrall or something.

Though, to be fair, the Dark Fae don't make a huge amount of sense.

Early on when Vex killed the Dracula Fae he seemed pretty dangerous. Also, some of the early confrontations with Bo. At any rate I I though pre-Garuda Vex had a point as a vicious and powerful enemy. Yeah, the Morrigan is not being handled well, like most things in this show. Dyson did dance well to "Hungry Like the Wolf", though. And at the moment I have no intention to stop watching.

There is a (probably apocryphal) story about a pulp writer who took a creative writing class in hopes of becoming a "literary" writer. After he turned in his first assignment, the teacher turned to him and said "This is garbage, absolute garbage. So why do I keep turning the pages." Well this show is NOT total garbage, but I have stopped watching shows with many fewer flaws than this one, and am not sure why I keep watching. But right now I'm hooked.

Arrow: not enough shirtlessness. Also, Felicity is awesome.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I liked that she called him out on his ridiculous requests and lies. She should just say "hey, when you need something just ask. Don't waste my time with the crazy stories"
