'A Hole in the World'


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.

But didn't someone wolf-savvy call him an alpha in season 2? Or maybe I'm misreading a "you're not his alpha, Derek, stop being an ass" convo.

Fact is, if I could write the verse, Stiles would be his alpha, and human. Both things v. imp.

I quite enjoy Continuum. Good pickup on Syfy's part, if they're throwing their development eggs into fewer baskets. I think I like it more than Lost Girl because it admits its heroine is problematic.

Or am I just getting my "hump Roger" vibes all over everything? There's little moral high ground in the future, the present is just fighting for itself, and Vic is still the hottest thing in Hollywood North.

I like how beige its aura is, so to speak. And I really liked whatsername's partner from the future and what happened to her. I would like more Cigarette Smoking Man, I think, but that would probably be a problem for revealing the plot and whatnot.

Derek said he realized why Scott didn't want to join his pack, he was already the alpha of his own. But I think he was talking social dynamics rather than anything strictly-supernatural, as Scott was the only werewolf in said "pack." I think it's just that's how Derek has been raised to perceive any tightly bonded group.

Ooh, I liked this week's Continuum quite a bit.

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

Procedural, in case you want more about it.

I think I am liking Being Human again. It's too early to be sure, but the new season is promising, I think. I'm not crazy about the whole devil business, but I like the central three characters and their interactions, and that's mostly what matters to me.

So Tatiana Maslany didn't get an Emmy nom. I'm surprisingly annoyed (if not very surprised).

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

BOO EMMYS.
