'Soul Purpose'


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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow, that's a long way to go for a joke (re: Tom Tom). Fun episode, though. I think I might love Jenny the best.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Although when she really should have been shrieking at them, when the house fills with weird stuff right after they do a strange ritual with her, does she call them?

In fairness, I presume she was about to call someone when she dropped her phone into the bottomless pit in the living room.

Jenny is super awesome. Hooray!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I might love Jenny the best.

Yeah, I love Jenny. Love her kick-ass ass-kicking outfit.

Now I wanna see Strax, Vastra and Jenny hang out with Captain Jack. Just to see Jack hitting on Strax.

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

I'm not going to lie--I still think of Doctor Who every time I see her: [link]

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Now I wanna see Strax, Vastra and Jenny hang out with Captain Jack. Just to see Jack hitting on Strax.

Oh. My. God.

To be filed under things I never knew I needed.

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

Strax might surprise us, it is Captain Jack, after all.

It could be a sweet romance, really. Jack fails in his mission, Strax caps him, Jack wakes up and tackles him... their eyes meet... fade to black...

Fade to black totally defeats the purpose!

It's a commercial, but it is a GREAT commercial.

"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

Oh Lordy, I just killed my break going through a survey from TNT about an upcoming series called The Last Ship. When they had a question about what I think when I hear the name Michael Bay, I responded "hack writing and the use of explosions/CGI/scantily-clad women in place of plot and characterization." Then they showed me an advance trailer that made me sound precognitive!
