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.

I thought Jossverse, too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I love how Crane's dialog veers between DO YOU NOT BELIEVE YOUR OWN EYES and mmm, these are good! Poetic Pronouncement of DOOM and ...were you betrothed ? He seems awfully interested in her relationship, I must note.

Well, that explains why there were only three posts. Had to watch on Tivo delay because I was on the phone with my mother.

Me too. I adore that Crane can give good snark, and was quick enough in a tight spot to figure out that Oxford professor was still a good cover.

Abby's ex did come across as one-note hostile, but we only saw him for a little bit and I think his behavior fits given the situation and how things must look from his perspective.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I had the impression, though I am not absolutely positive that there is textual basis, that John Cho (will I ever remember his character's name? Probably not) thought he was serving the greater good by being part of the dark coven, somehow. Zombie John Cho is sad (leavened with, yay, more John Cho, of course).

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

I *adore* the actor playing Crane. That role could have gone so wrong in so many ways, and he just nails every line. (Apparently he's British because all of the American actors who read for the part sounded too modern. Which, fair enough! He's great!)

I adore that Crane can give good snark, and was quick enough in a tight spot to figure out that Oxford professor was still a good cover.

And brazen enough to assume Oxford professor would still be a job 270 years in the future!

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

Come on! OXFORD. That was his only gimme.

I'm not saying it wasn't a GOOD guess.

Sleepy Hollow: That was one of the more disturbing resurrections I've ever seen.

That was kind of awesome, and almost offset the epic bout of facepalming for the "Serilda of Abadon" and the "Greek Romany" bits. I had to have Cass pause the show so I could rant about that.

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.

You know I would love the texture it would give if the humans in the dark coven think they are working for the greater good.
