Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

'Not Fade Away'


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.

Compassionately intolerant

I enjoyed Sleepy Hollow as well. The scary vs. intriguing bits were in a good balance for me.

I was sad that the two actors I most wanted to see on-going didn't make it through the pilot.

Still, I agree that the leads are engaging.

I'll try it again.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

bonny -- I had the exact same reaction!

I thought that it had a lot of pilot-clunkiness, but the leads are capable and it's especially nice to see a woman of color intelligently written in a genre show.

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

Now you can have your own wibbly wobbly timey: [link]

There's also a Tardis blanket!

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

I completely forgot about Sleepy Hollow! I think DH has the pilot on DVD though.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I watched it ... I may stick with it as long as it lasts. I did get annoyed at a couple of anachronisms (but that's one of my buttons).

And I think they may be re-broadcasting it later this week ... Friday, perhaps.

Yes, Friday at 10. It's also (legitimately) online here: [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The marketing campaign for season 2 of Arrow cracks me up. And is persuasive, I admit it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Good god in heaven, David Ramsey.

No, let me restate that: DAVID RAMSEY. GAH.

And holy crow, Colton Haynes is pretty.

That whole damn cast is pretty, despite the (seeming) departure of Barrowman and the death of Tommy WHICH I AM STILL NOT OVER.

When David Ramsey plays a politico on Blue Blood, I only laugh.

I am so confused by the idea of Baby Arrow turning into The Lizard.
