Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Tom,

I had been watching and after the 2nd episode I was still mildly amused. And then I read an interview with a showrunner I think. I can't remember if I mentioned it here or not. Spoiler follows that you may all have already known, but it was a shock to me, that's why I'm putting it in white font:

Apparently, the showrunner is interested in how their society develops as they live under the dome for weeks/months/yrs. I am not interested in this. at all. And the more I watch the show (I'll finish the season) the less I am interested in this. I guess I thought this was a mini-series, not a potentially several seasons series.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Korra Book 2 in September.

Tom rick rolled with Spongebob in the above link. Here is the correct one for the trailer.

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

God, I thought Tom was better than that, you know?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Work wouldn't let me load the other site, but that one worked. Yay! How beautiful.

II was beyond pleased to see that the Scott-is-alpha-without-a-wolfpack things play out. The one Teen Wolf fan I have on any of my dashes, though, is struggling against people who are saying that Scott is an awful person and doesn't deserve this, meanwhile Derek is shitting rainbows.

I was not happy to see Boyd forgive Derek. I think Derek was *awful*. Grabbing three vulnerable teens, claiming all this "choice" thing for kids not legal to fuck or drink or vote, and, perhaps apart from the sorely underwritten Boyd, exploiting some really damaged people to get whatever he thought he needed--he's not just an incompetent, he's not good or nice. I don't understand the appeal other than how he fills out jeans (which is considerable--don't get me wrong).

I don't have enough energy to hunt down the Scott-didn't-earn-it meta, but Derek didn't earn anything--he went out and created the situation that made him an alpha. It wasn't a reward, it was a (dubious DUBIOUS) choice, And now two kids don't graduate, never mind go home to their families. The "blood on his hands" was way too literal for me, but I don't get how anyone can analytically be arguing for Derek so far.

Scott ran a plan of his own to beat the kanima/hunter thing? Yeah, I think it's weird he didn't tell Stiles, but I don't think it was shitty behaviour, not on a scale of 1 to Derek, anyway.
