Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Angel ,'Not Fade Away'


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.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Who:

"Is this what you do? Invite people into your snog-box?"

"It's not a SNOG-BOX!"

This should be interesting. At least she didn't die again.

Compassionately intolerant

In re: chris' whitefont, I absolutely _loved_ the Doctor's physical reactions in that scene. It's my favorite thing about his characterization.

I have to confess that there were just a couple of moments that really engaged me in this episode. I couple of great concepts but in general, it didn't really grab me.

Damn, my cable or my Tivo appears to have dropped BBCA again. So annoying.

But there are other methods! Anyway I found that episode both creepy and amusing.

Does anyone else think that the woman in the shop who gave Clara the number is Donna Noble?

Also, what 24 year old in a developed nation doesn't know about Twitter?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, see, I was thinking Sally Sparrow.

Right? I was guessing that the joke was originally Tumblr, but they decided that was too niche.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The episode aired in the U.S. so we don't need to white font, right?

I thought it was hilarious that even brainwashed, the minions all updated their Facebook pages with where they worked. Less hilarious and more terrifying was what happened to the head honcho once the Great Intelligence disconnected itself from her. That poor little girl...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I loved Orphan Black - anyone else watch? The lead actress is just fantastic, I had no idea she was American (Canadian?) until I saw her on the Nerdist right after.

I'm so proud of the channel guys, they are turning out some GREAT stuff this year. (Sorry Copper, you were a good first try, but ultimately just really really boring.)

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

A 24 year old who is looking for "the internet" on her computer doesn't strike me as a 24 year old who's down with the tweeting. She was carefully established as thoroughly inept. How you get that way without transplanting an 81 year old mind into your body is difficult, but they were consistent with that facet.

Art Crawl!!!

I enjoyed Orphan Black too!

Jessica, is that another North America only production?

Yep, this show is all BBCA.
