I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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.

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.

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

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I saw Manu Bennett at DragonCon. And Liam McIntyre from Spartacus. They were awfully pretty. And pretty straightforward about the kind of work it takes go get those bodies. "Do you like boiled chicken?" said McIntyre.

I...think I'm missing something there.

And pretty straightforward about the kind of work it takes go get those bodies. "Do you like boiled chicken?" said McIntyre.

I remember James Marsters saying something like that back in the day of BTVS S6 or thereabouts, when he was half-naked every other epsiode.

Manu Bennett is pretty hunky, but I gotta admit, I mostly love him for how snarky his character is.

And a lot of egg whites.

But that shit fucks you up. Poor boys.

Ah. I didn't jump on that train. Is it worth it?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I did get annoyed at a couple of anachronisms (but that's one of my buttons).

I have a feeling the list is going to get long.

For one, there's no reason for Crane to have an English accent.

In 1781, New York had the nation's largest community of free Blacks, so there's no reason for him to assume she's a slave. Also, he would have said he was pro-manumission or anti-slavery.

What's sad is that my first reaction to the Arrow campaign was, "Oh, good. More Diggle."

Oh, I loves me some Diggle. HARD.

It's my top appointment TV at the moment. Basically it's Buffy with about 80% less depth and allegorical meaning and a corresponding increase in beefcake to compensate.
