'Underneath'


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.

Steph, I know you don't watch Teen Wolf, but it did come up that Colton used to be on that show. Because the writers of that show enjoy amusing themselves, they put the unpowered protagonist in a red hoodie, and it's now a symbol of the people that ship him with the show's good boy big bad werewolf, so the idea that Colton is wearing one for completely different reasons (again, part of a story that predates the show) in his new universe amuses me.

I don't actually like either character he's played, so I'm happy that something about him amuses me. I can't help but see Abercrombie and Fitch when I look at him, so "street kid who longs for something true" is not something I'm buying in the least.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I can't help but see Abercrombie and Fitch when I look at him,

He's kind of the same type, physically as Luke from The O.C. (who was also an A&F model, right?).

so "street kid who longs for something true" is not something I'm buying in the least.

I'm not getting that from him, either. I feel like he's just there because the writers/showrunners wanted a Roy Harper, and so they're moving him around to get him into sidekick position.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Unrelatedly: watching Face Off has definitely affected how I see the aliens on DS9. There was just a reveal of some dimly lit Jem'Hadar and my first thought was "ooh, nice profiles"

The whole freezing the fire demon with nitrogen thing on Grimm was pretty cool! And the still glowing eyes in the obsidian super creepy.

I like what they are doing with Juliet's memory thing lately, too.

"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

I liked that none of them really knew what the thing was, just what it had done in the past. It pretty definitely wasn't Wesen.

Yeah, that broadens the universe a little, doesn't it?

Speaking of Nikita (we were doing that recently enough for me to say that, right?), this week's episode was awesome.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Orphan Black continues to be fairly awesome. I did NOT see the handlers coming, though I suppose I should have.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Trudy, I didn't see that twist coming either. I love this show.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hahah, this is true for me too with, like, everything.
