'Time Bomb'
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.
Enjoyed Lost Girl - many flaws but fun trash. Also while Lauren is being incredibly stupid she is also totally in character. A big "Fuck You" to the Fae with no chance of backing it up is the same mistake she made last time. But it means she will be back - in a cell or worse needing to be rescued by Bo.
I wonder she will end up getting her new boss/fan killed before she is dragged back.
Wow. I heard that the Polish noontime spirit was incredibly true to lore, but finally someone goes to the "duppy" well, and they make absolutely everything up past "dead".
So, you know, fuck them.
I love the idea of Sally Sparrow being the woman in the shop. I wonder why Clara skipped age 23 when recording her age in the book. Was the leaf being page one of the book supposed to be understandable? If so, I didn't.
I liked the new look of the TARDIS, too. Pleasant episode all around. I found the woman in charge to be Denchish in a couple of spots, too.

Me too! Eleven didn't say anything, but I thought it was significant.

Nor did I.
Yeah, even I know that had nothing to do with folkloric Duppies, and I don't pretend to know much about Jamaican folklore. But then again I would say most of the Fae have very little to do with the folklore they are supposedly based upon. If occasionally one or two types of Fae are authentic that is a huge exception.
BTW, during Watchathon I caught a few episodes of True Blood. That has the over-top-ness I enjoy in Lost Girl with better dialog. They knew that they are full of shit, enjoy that they are full of shit, and yet manage to own their own bullshit. Lost Girl winks but usually does not own their bullshit. Maybe tomorrow I will find a way to put that more clearly, but maybe you know what I mean even phrased that clumsily.
I know the Polish Fae was pretty good, for something relatively obscure. The Garuda was within reasonable boundaries. The Filipino thing last week...I have no clue.
I had the thought during the hiatus that Clara Oswin Oswald would at some point turn out to be a manifestation of River Song trying to break out of the Library.
The uploading of the consciousness reminds me of the "saving" at the Library.
Orphan Black - enjoyed it, but so far main character is not sympathetic. They will have to work hard if they want to make us like her. But maybe they don't want us to like her.

I think that it was the leaf that brought her parents together?
Yep, now that leaf makes sense. I loved that whole bit.
I loved a lot of the concepts in the episode—my Olympians play is about attachment to material objects and the sentimental value we afford them and the fact that they carry our history, for fuck's sake—but I wasn't really enthralled with the execution.
