Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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.

Oh, should I have whitefonted that?

I have no idea where we're up to on that.

tries to not read about BSG and Doctor Who. fails spectacularly. shrugs.

Hi folks! Am busy watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and so far am enjoying it quite a lot. In some ways it feels like it bookends with Supernatural, if that makes any sense? The latter being mostly All About The Boys and the monsters, the former being All About The Girls and the robots? With both having a familial relationship as the driving, what, romance? (Um, using the term romance in a non-erotic way.) Sarah's got John Winchester beat on parenting skills, though. I think. Maybe.

oooh! what ep are you up to, Fay? SCC was probably my favorite new show this season.

Er, I think I've seen 4 eps? Maybe 5? I'm liking the strong (hot) female lead, Summer is always eminently watchable of course, and the boy is much less slappable than I'd been expecting. And I want to lick the FBI agent.

all good reasons to watch, but i fell for another character who shows up in ep 5. in fact, i wouldn't mind if they renamed the show after him because he's actually a hell of a lot more interesting for me than Sarah is.

You know, Gaeta should have never sworn that he'd give his right leg to find Earth.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

For the most part I've been kind of meh on the Sarah Jane adventures, though I'm liking the current alt-world one.

I think the half-hour format encourages the overuse of short-cut cliches and occasional truly awful dialog. At least that is what I'd like to blame in on.

Art Crawl!!!

Theodosia: Bwah!

SJA: what sort of car does Sarah Jane drive? (It's so cute! And matches my ipod nano in color.)

Dr Who 4x06: Dear Lord, people. How much genocide-related heart-breaking are you going to dump on the guy? So...they gonna spin off a third show? Maybe her and Captain John? A lot of running, a lot of heavy breathing.

I thought for sure that his too much like me meant that he doesn't have any more regenerations and that's why she doesn't. Didn't look like it was a regeneration that brought her back--more a side effect of terraforming (which would be a handy-assed thing to happen, as long as it doesn't go all Pet Sematary), leaving me back to the thought that he's running low on resets and his song may indeed be ending.

I don't want to have those thoughts.
