I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I feel like you're not leaving us that many people to be "pretty much all" with those disclaimers. Are there that many more?

Rick, Carl, Lori, Tyreese, Dale, Michonne, Sophia...really it was just Glenn and Maggie I specifically preferred when I read the comics, but some people on the A.V. Club did point out Hershel and Carol. The Governor is basically a different character, and I like them both for different reasons.

I'm confused by who knows what and who doesn't--why is Michonne public enemy #1? What do they know/not know about her?

Yeah, I was really confused about that too. I mean, she led them to Woodbury, right? So...why does everyone hate her?

She does not communicate readily and she is Black. Otherwise, I cannot figure it out.

Which is weird because it's not like any of them have ever displayed any sort of "Whoa, black person, better not trust them" behavior before. Michonne has done nothing but help them, as far as I can remember. She doesn't talk a lot (despite the fact that in the comics she talks and has a personality beyond "sullen badass"), so I guess she's a cipher to them.

"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

She went off and did her own thing during the assault on the town rather than deciding they were BFFs and risking her life grabbing Glen once she'd shown everyone how to get in?

Art Crawl!!!

She knew Andrea was there and didn't tell them?

(Although, how would she know that they knew Andrea?)

It's been hard to figure out who knows what. She knows Andrea was with another group, but I'm not sure she knew anything about the group, like any of their names, so I don't think she would know that it was the same group.

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

Am I shaming if I say Lauren should totally watch Bo and her test tasting? I mean--science.

And porn. Porn science. Funnest ever.

So Bo was the one to finally spot that Kenzie was possessed? Did Trick miss the flashing neon sign that lit up when Kenzie did not know about their deal that she got free drinks as payment for negotiating help with bird lady?

In terms of porn science - Lauren and Johnsons?

Kenzie was so freaking off, though. The way she piped up with those nuggets of information--first off it was terribly consistent of her, but I don't expect them to notice that. But her delivery was all off. Where's the bubbly Kenzi that everyone is so amused/entranced/exasperated by. She needed to have more fun, make more fun, grab at more fun. And secret telling is a perfect time to regress your persona, as she so adores.

Every episode I come away with a generalise want for her outfits, and dammit--I may finally have found clothes worn normally by adults that I think are too young for me. Real sad.
